Loving home environment

Pet care experience

We have had an in home grooming business along with boarding and caring for dogs of all ages and types off and on for about 6 years. Prior to that we have raised multiple dogs from 6 weeks old to doggy heaven. Under my supervision, my two daughters are assist me with providing affection, attention, and feedings, they both love caring for animals. They are 15 and 13, very responsible, attended CPR and babysitting classes through UMC. We have a Multipoo and an English Bulldog. They were both rescues living as part of our family for 7 years now. Before that I raised and cared for a Siberian Husky and Pitty mix for the duration of their lives, until they passed on of old age.

RJ and his entire family took great care of our sweet, but energetic, 3 1/2 year old chocolate lab, Charlie. He sent pics and videos of Charlie playing with his dogs and family. Usually when we get Charlie back he needs a day or two to recover from the new environment where he was left, but not this time. He was clearly comfortable with RJ because RJ truly treated Charlie like one of his own. I highly recommend RJ and hope to use him again. Thank you RJ, your sister, and your daughters for taking such good care of Charlie.

Information Raphael D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any allergies, special needs, or is aggressive in any way. When you do bring your dog we recommend you bring something that smells like you that we can set up for the dog to sleep with. We find they usually are more comfortable if they have some familiar smells. If your dog is crate trained or has a special bed you can bring that too. If your dog has a special diet please bring enough food for the dogs stay. We feed our dogs Nutro Lamb and rice dry dog food. We can feed your fur baby the same as ours for an extra fee.

A typical day

Typical days start around 6:30am for breakfast and a little play time with toys. The dogs will have free time to play with each other inside and in the backyard. The dogs will usually get a treat of some kind around lunch time. Then dinner is at 6pm. We have a set weekly trip to the dog park every Sunday, but if we have time during the week we will go when the weather is not too hot. I do not typically take any boards to the dog park, that is just for my dogs.

I am currently working realestate, Uber, and looking for a fulltime job, however my two kids are wanting to keep busy for the rest of the summer. We feed out dogs twice a day leaving room for treats throughout the day. We have multiple watering stations inside and outside. We have a doggy doot into an air-conditioned garage and the main house. We have a large yard with covered patio, fake grass area, dog run, anda fenced in pool area that we are willing to allow swimmer dogs to enjoy.
