Quality Canine Companionship
Pet care experience
Additional Terms: Please note: 1. Three Day Minimum. We do not accept hosting for single night stays preferring long weekends+. We have our maid thoroughly clean our home after each pet hosting to remove dog smells to avoid urine ("marking their boundaries") issues - the cost to clean exceeds the net proceeds to us for a single night’s stay. 2. We do not accept pets with potential incontinence issues - puppies under 1 year old or senior pets - generally 10 years or older. 3. We do accept up to 2 pets from the same owner - pets who are accustomed to / friendly living together. Daily rate for 2 pets is $80. My name is Norm, a realtor in Carmel and my wife Mary Sue is a psychotherapist and nutritionist. We are both lifelong dog lovers/owners and don't have a pet of our own. Our schedules are flexible allowing time to take long walks around our 50 acre living community, Hacienda Carmel with abundant green belt areas for enjoying nature. The streets are safe with multiple speed humps slowing traffic. The complex is located adjacent to the Carmel River South Rim Trail - a wonderful path flanked by a ranch and golf course commonly used to walk dogs. Our complex has a one-mile walking berm that is dog-friendly. There is a dog park on-site, as well. We'd love to have your dog join us on our walks! We live in a two bedroom, two bath ground level condominium - a fenced back yard with a spring loaded hinge closure. Our beloved lab, "Bagel", developed diabetes in the last years of her life so I am familiar with giving insulin shots. Trust that we will treat your dog like we would our own - as a family member. Give me a call and we can schedule a "meet and greet" to see if there is a good fit for your dog and for us.
Reviews
How does one know that one's dog was well cared for while one's away? For me, it's from the behavior of my dog once I'm home. Seeing that she is calm and happy lets me know that she was well taken care of. I'm certain that Norm took very good care of my dog based on my dog's behavior and I recommend Norm for dog owners who prioritize on dependable care.
When we went to pick Whiskey up she was happy to see us and ran around our legs...then laid down at Norm's feet. What more can i say.
i agree with everyone's positive reviews regarding norm's excellent care and treatment towards their dogs. we feel so fortunate to have found norm and he was available at short notice. he went above and beyond in his care of our dog suki. she's a rescue aussie with anxiety issues and we're hesitant to home board her for fear of her being a burden. the videos and texts that norm sent us reassured us that she was in a caring environment and we were able to relax on our getaway. i highly recommend norm and we will contact him for future bookings. deb & jerry
My husband and I are really glad we decided to book with Norm. He and his wife took great care of Pickle, and sent us daily pictures of him. I would recommend this lovely couple to anyone who wants to have their dog looked after!
