Information Phil H. would like to know about your pet

Please advise on any special diets or needs you dog may have during our meet and greet! I will assure you that all your pets needs are taken care of and documented if you so desire.

A typical day

I love to be outside and play fetch, frisbee, or just go on a long or short walk. We also have an above ground pool for those dogs that may like to swim. Our large half acre, fenced yard, will allow for ample exercise for any sized dog! Of course your loved one will receive much attention outside of play time as well!

We Would Love to Love on Your Pup!!

Pet care experience

All four of us are dog lovers and just recently had to put our 15 year old black lab, Gunder, down. It was very hard for us, but he is pain free and in a better place! We have a large (.5 acre) yard that is fenced and ready for more doggy fun!! We look forward to having a new best friend for a while and promise to give our full attention to your pup!! I currently work evenings and my wife works days! Our two daughters are very responsible and love all animals! If we are unavailable we will let you know immediately! We have a fully fenced half acre yard and can accommodate any breed or size of dog!! We are willing to follow any specific schedule for your loved one - diet, walks, play time, rest time, etc.!!

Phil and his family took care of our pups as though they were their own. One of our pups does not always adjust easily to new settings, but transitioned exceptionally well to staying with Phil and family. They provide a warm, loving, and dog-friendly environment and are sensitive to different dogs needs and personalities. Highly recommend and will be booking again!

Phil, his wife, and daughters were wonderful with Appa. We are grateful for the good care, the pics and feedback. I will take Appa again to Phil. Gracias.

Phil and his wife Jen put my nerves at ease! I’ve never had my pup stay overnight with a sitter, so I was nervous but they reassured me and continually sent photos of him giving updates- it was so sweet! They took such great care of my baby, and I know he was loving their big yard! They are genuinely kind and caring people! Will absolutely book again, and so relieved to have found them! Thank you Phil & Jen!
