Home full-time - large fenced yard

Pet care experience

My wife and I are around the house most of the time. One of us will almost always be home. We have a large fenced yard with room to run and explore, a deck, and a patio for lounging or sunbathing. Always look forward to meeting new dog friends. I’ll take good care of your furry family members and keep them happy. I am 54 years old and have been a lifetime dog owner and foster home for dogs. We have adopted two Bassett Hounds (spayed & neutered) who would enjoy the four-legged company.

Took awesome care of my German Shepherd! He got daily walks and play time outside, was even kind enough to send me photos daily so I knew that my boy was doing great. 👍🏼

Russ and family took great care of our 13 year-old Goldendoodle for nine nights. Copper has a few health issues, and is on several medications that he takes four times per day. Russ ensured that Copper got all his meds and kept track on a chart we provided. He also sent photos daily showing Copper doing well which gave us great comfort while we were away on vacation. Russ and family are clearly dog lovers, and I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.

We have a nice stretch of sidewalk in front of the house for several quick walks and a quiet neighborhood for one longer walk. As mentioned the backyard is great for exploring.
