**slowing down on reservations to prepare for our newest addition*** little baby coming April 2026*** We update our calendar daily. We must have a meet and greet prior to any new stay.

Information Samuel & Iliana M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I will happily go over them with you and make sure your pet is safe and secure while in my care. I do ask that your pup is up to date on his/her shots and current flea and tick preventative for safety of your pups and mine.

A typical day

Depending on what your dogs needs, I will structure my day around their needs and routine. I typically take a walk in the morning and my wife will walk in the evening. They have free range of the house to play or rest. We offer feedings at the times that your dog needs it. Same with medications. We do not go to dogs parks for obvious reasons but have access to trails and sidewalks around the neighborhood.

Pet care experience

**slowing down on reservations to prepare for our newest addition*** little baby coming April 2026*** We update our calendar daily. We must have a meet and greet prior to any new stay. This is to ensure your pup and our pups are a good fit. I work full-time at home. We have a large fenced yard with room to run and explore. I always look forward to meeting new dog friends. I will take good care of your furry family members and keep them happy. I have experience with small and large dogs. We currently have one of each at home. My wife and I are experienced with medication management, since our Dalmatians have needed this care in the past. My wife is a nurse so has experience with medications and we have first aid training (human and dog). She is home on the weekends and in the evenings which will allow your pup to get lots of attention and play time. I work from home, which allows me to be home with the dogs I sit. If I have to run some errands my wife will be here. We do have the occasional family outing, but limit the time we are away since our pups don't like to be left alone for extended amounts of time. I have a large fenced backyard to run and play in, a large couch to sleep on and two four-legged friends to play with. We live in a great neighborhood, away from main roads. We are able to take long walks through a trail or sidewalk while your fur friend stays with us.

Sam and Illeana were absolutely wonderful with Bailey. They immediately recognized my anxiety about leaving him for nearly a week and put me at ease from start to finish. I truly appreciated the opportunity for a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a great fit and that their lifestyle aligned well with our family. Honestly, Bailey seems a little sad to be back home—which says everything about the love, fun, and excitement he experienced with Kyro and Nala. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of him!

Samuel & Illana were the perfect host, as individuals they are very nice but together the care for Max was awesome. From periodic phot's and clips, to genuine love and care for your pet is outstanding. We've already submitted a booking for a future extended stay for May with this wonderful couple.
