I, Phillip, have always had dogs growing up so when my wife, LeAnne, finally agreed to get one I was thrilled. We bought a cute and small yellow lab, Avery, that turned my wife into a dog lover. She is the calmest young lab anyone has ever met. We have now adopted our second dog, Toby. He is a 4-year-old yellow lab with a sweet and gentle personality. Both dogs are trained in obedience and have a lot of experience around other dogs. Pet-safety is very important to my wife and I. We have a portable fence that is almost always up around our pool. If you are uncomfortable with your pet having access to the pool please let us know and we will make sure that the fence is up! We are very accommodating and will take the necessary steps and make adjustments to ensure that your pet's needs are taken care of while strictly following any instructions you give us. In addition, I work very close to our home, so pick up and drop off times can be made flexible. Here are a few of our specifics: We usually care for one dog at a time. Exceptions include: siblings (if they have been together before and are a good fit) and when the stay is less than one-day overlapping. We are flexible with pick up and drop off. However, additional payment will be required if the pick-up time is more than 2 hours past the set time with no notification. We will try to accommodate the best we can if we are contacted prior to. We require pets to be kennel trained. You are welcome to bring their personal kennel, but we also have extra they are welcome to borrow. We recommend a meet and greet prior to the stay. We promise to love your dog like our own. We look forward to meeting you and your pet!
