6 Golden Apples Doggie Resort

Pet care experience

My husband and I live in a well taken care of home in Portage IN. We also have 2 children ages 6 and 4 years old so dogs we watch must be good with small children. We never leave our children unsupervised with the dogs always make sure they are respectful with dogs. My yard is rather large (approx. .30 acres) and with a 6 foot wood privacy fence. I volunteer for local animal shelters and have fostered many times for Lakeshore Paws in Valparaiso IN. My husband and I have decided to break from fostering dogs and offer our home and services to people who need their baby taken care of while they are away. That is also how we treat other dogs who are in our care for a short time. My husband and I enjoy having dogs and we also enjoy spoiling them rotten. When we babysit your pup you will be sure to receive many updates and pictures of your baby or babies being treated like family. We recently lost both our elderly dogs so we are currently a dog free home so we can cater to dogs that need to be the only dog. We just need kid friendly dogs that don't mind loud kids running around.

Shannon provided excellent care for our dog. She was very communicative and sent photos throughout his stay. We would definitely book with her again!

Shannon and her family were incredible with our pup. She came home happy and tired each day. We felt very comfortable leaving Lola with them and we got regular updates. Her kids and Lola became the best of friends! Thank you so much again for caring for her!

Our dog had a great time with Shannon, her husband, dogs, and kids. It was a relief being away from home and getting pictures seeing how content she was with the family. It's like she fit in great from the beginning. Will not hesitate to bring her back again, highly recommended!

Information Shannon H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special needs. Most important is your dog must be kid friendly and preferable potty trained, but we do understand when babysitting a puppy there will be accidents.

A typical day

We love to give our pet visitors lots of attention and belly rubs. If your dog is active my kids love to throw a ball around to play fetch. We also love taking our visitors on our family walks around the neighborhood.
