Information samantha d. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has an behavior issues I should look out for. Also need to know the specific feeding schedule and if he/she takes any medication. I do not recommend bringing over any toys as they can get ripped up. Harvey has plenty of toys and loves to share! If your pup has any special routines they adhere to, I would be happy to accommodate those within reason! Please let me know of any senior dogs that may need help getting in and out of the house to the yard!

A typical day

Harvey and I love having dogs over to play! I have a fenced in yard the dogs are able to run around in a safe environment. If your pup needs walked I’m happy to walk them :)

Pet care experience

I have a 6 year old golden retriever who’s super friendly and loves all other dogs. I work from home during the week so I have plenty of time to hang out with the pups and let them out whenever they need to. They can run around in the shaded yard as I keep an eye on them :) I have a huge fenced in yard on a quarter acre lot. We live at the end of a dead end street so no one ever bothers us! Plenty of squirrels and birds to chase in the yard. My golden retriever LOVES to play with other dogs. He is incredibly friendly and just wants to run the backyard all day. He has all of his vaccines up to date and he is neutered. He would love to have a friend to hang out with! If your dog needs to be crated we have plenty of space to set up the crate
