Information Paul I. would like to know about your pet

We are most successful with small and medium size dogs, ideally two years or older and are potty trained. Senior dogs thrive in our quiet home. While we have no breed preference, well-behaved dogs that enjoy a stable home are the best fit. We have a one-dog at a time policy to ensure your dog gets our full attention and love. We can accommodate two dogs from the same household.

A typical day

We are in a quiet neigborhood. We select the less traveled and quieter tree-lined streets for our walks. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep in our bedroom with us. There is plenty of room on the king size bed, dog bed or kennel. We are home most of the time so there’s lots of attention to go around. We take daily walks in addition to play time in our fenced backyard.

Paul and Arnel were so amazing with my Gizmo! Gizmo has some separation anxiety but they always make the extra effort to make him feel safe and loved and give lots of snuggles and care to make him feel comfortable. They send lots of pictures and updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing and feeling. I had great peace of mind knowing Gizmo was well cared for and having a great time with them.

Paul was amazing with Coky. He sent pictures and updates daily. It was clear that he was taking great care of our pup. When we returned Coky was super relaxed, clean and in great spirits. I’m sure he looks forward to staying with Paul in the future.

Paul and Arnel were the best hosts! They were excellent communicators, sent us tons of pics of our boy, and did so many fun things with him. It really felt like they made him part of their family. I would highly recommend them to any pup parent.
