Dogs are people too.
Pet care experience
We practice and believe in total positive reinforcement for dog care, training, and pet safety. As a retiree I am home full time, and my wife is semi-retired and also works from home. We are very attentive to pet needs and safety. We are weekend puppy raisers for a well-known service dog organization, and our dog we adopted is a former service dog program dog. Dogs are as important to us as people, and we understand that dogs are intelligent emotional beings who mostly need love, attention, and of course food. You can be assured that your pet will be positively treated and cared for, and under a very watchful eye. Pets are a big part of our lives, and we know how important they are to our well-being.
Reviews
I'm grateful for Russ and Janet's flexibility. Due to personal dynamics I need to change some pickup dates around and they were most accomodating.
Thank you so much for taking care of our boy and understanding him. Also, thanks to the repair of his toy! That was above and beyond! I know he will enjoy hanging out with your family in the future!
Thank you so much for taking care of our pooch. I am sure he enjoyed the company (canine and human), the outside time, and such comfortable inside accommodations. I am sure he will want to come for another visit soon!
Responsive and flexible! Great with the cats!! Thank you!
