Safety, trust & environment

We have a completely fenced in Backyard ( 6ft privacy ) our 4 Dogs are used to other dogs utilizing the yard while they are inside. We also have part of the yard with an additional fence which leads to a separate entrance to the house - meaning those babies we watch can have their own yard. We offer big Kennel Space with an elevated Bed - heat; a/c; TV some even decided last Summer to swim in our Pool which we are perfectly ok with :-) Our dogs are all fixed, UTD and on monthly preventative for flea and tick medicine - and always happy to have an additional fur friend join the walks. We had hospice dogs in the past and also quite a few fosters recovering from surgery and ok with giving daily medicine (not including shots)

Information Sandra & Mark R. would like to know about your pet

We know shy and rescue dogs can have a hard time, if their have a trigger we would like to know that way we can adjust accordingly. Such as vacuum or even such as the fact some are terrified of hats. If your Baby is allergic to food or like one of ours to “sky raisins” that is also important for us to know.

A typical day

In the summer they can either use the in-ground pool or kiddie pool. We have a big yard that has a 6ft privacy fence offering ample space to play fetch. We stay close to a track so having daily walks and sniffari are definitely available. And for those little couch potatoes well they are more than welcome to enjoy doing what they love to do :-). But mental stimulation such as Kongs, puzzles are also available.

Amazing people, took care of our dogs so well! They definitely felt like they were at home and spoiled. Mark and Sandra sent plenty of updates and communicated about everything. You won’t regret your decision letting them watch your babies ♥️
