Dog Park and Special Needs Experts

We are dog lovers with deep experience in dog-sitting and walking services. We regularly take care of our friends' pets and are experts in having fun and getting exercise at the dog park. Teri comes from a dog care and grooming family, while Paul brings more than 40 years of experience caring for, training and spoiling dogs of all shapes, sizes and colors. We have a fenced-in yard in the Kenny neighborhood, close to the Minnehaha Creek and other hiking paths. We only watch one dog (or bonded pair) at a time, so your pup will get all of the attention it deserves. Three of our dogs have had special health care needs. Two had Addison's Disease, meaning we are experienced at giving injections and oral medication. Our current pup, Nessie, is a smaller-sized standard poodle. She loves everyone and is a great co-host! Please let us know your dog's needs and how we can be of service. We look forward to meeting your pup soon!

Paul picked up Abby right on time, and reported that her walk and play time with Nessie went splendidly. The pictures were a great addition. We schedule a redo this week.

Paul and Teri are amazing! They brought Rosie to the dog park, on long walks, and gave her lots of snuggles! I would recommend them to anyone and I know they are safe place for my baby.

Paul and Teresa could not have been a better choice for our dogs to stay with. Our very senior dog had health issues suddenly accelerate to critical after we left, and they not only cared for him as well as -or better than- any pet-owner could, but kept us constantly updated on his condition while we cut our trip short to get home to him. Our healthy, younger dog got lots of attention and was happy to visit.

Paul and Teri are the absolute best! They’ve taken care of Rosie twice now and have been so sweet and accommodating. Rosie has a hard time getting used to men and Paul is very patient and sweet with her. I can tell it’s a good day when she comes home exhausted from playing! thank you both very much!
