Pet care experience
Hi there, My wife Courtney and I live in a townhouse in Ballston along with our furbaby Oreo, a playful, energetic Tibetan Terrier. Oreo loves to have play buddies and is very active and well socialized. We have a small patio outside for the dogs to play, but we take frequent walks (or runs) and visit the dog park often. We only take small and medium sized dogs that walk well on their lead and are well behaved. We generally have one guest at a time, with exceptions made for short 1-2 day stays with dogs that have been prior guests (or dogs from the same family). This allows us to provide proper oversight and activities for all our special friends. We generally are out of the house Mon-Fri from 8-4, but we either have the dog walker come to the house or we stop home at lunchtime to walk and check on the pups. On weekends and evenings we are around to play with the dogs and keep them happy and active. We would love to look after your pup for the weekend (at least initially, once the dogs know each other they are welcome for weekday stays as well). Please note: Unless otherwise discussed, one day of daycare is considered a 24 hour period. Drop-off is typically around 7-8AM, pickup before 7PM. Holiday weekends are $45 per day. We've used this service and it worked out very well, so hoping to help out some others! Please feel free to ask us any questions, we look forward to caring for your special buddy! Thanks, Ron
Reviews
Ron loves dogs and it shows ! Sevilla has stayed with Ron many times and always goes happy to his house and comes back home relaxed and happy !
As usual, Sevilla will return to Ron's place anytime !
Ron and Courtney are great guest to my Spanish waterdog. Their dog Oreo is great too and gives her space to feel at home. She is always happy to stay with them.
Ron, his wife and their pup Oreo are great hosts. Sevilla loves to stay with them and has done so several times. They give her plenty of exercise and love.

Information Ron B. would like to know about your pet
We prefer dogs that don't shed as Courtney is slightly allergic to dog fur. Please advise us of any potential issues with behavior and temperament.
A typical day
Typically we walk about 30-45 minutes each morning, occasionally we meet up with some other doggie friends at the unofficial dog park and let them play a bit. If we have guest dogs we'll come home for lunch and go for another walk to make sure they are settled. We also walk at least 30 minutes in the evenings, and frequent the local dog parks 2-3 times each week in the evenings if we don't have a longer walk. If your dog is up for it, we sometimes take them for a 2-3 mile run, mainly on weekends.
