Information Shaun S. would like to know about your pet

To help me help you, please describe a typical day in the life of your dog so I can maintain the same routine. Please share any tips, special needs, or advice. I love to play games and fetch, so feel free to bring few of their favorite toys.

A typical day

We will spend the typical day playing outside (weather permitting). Take a few walks, explore the new smells in the backyard and visit a nearby park.

Pet care experience

We are a family that loves dogs for most of our lives. Having dogs around makes us happy. Your dog will be like a beloved family member now that we recently lost our 14-year-old dog. You will get the best of both worlds. I bring a calm and relaxing energy while my 12 y.o. son brings a playful mood to the game. The entire family enjoys spending time in the yard and on the backyard deck; although some more than others. Feel free to set up a meet and greet so you can be comfortable when you leave your dog with us. My schedule is updated weekly, and I prefer two-week advance notice. Last-minute requests will be accommodated on an as-available basis. And if you are looking for 7 days, please contact me to discuss if there is some flexibility. I have a fenced-in yard to keep your dog active. There is plenty of room to run around and explore. A crate is available if they need a sense of security. Our house and furniture are pet friendly. They can hang out on the furniture or by the door. I will only watch one dog at a time (two if they are from the same family), so your loved one(s) will get our full attention.

Shaun was so communicative, easy to work with, and sent photos of our dog daily so I knew she was doing well! I appreciate that he was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and overall I know Annie was well taken care of. Thank you, Shaun and family!

Shaun was great with our two dogs, and took extra care of our senior dog. He managed them well through a thunderstorm and sent consistent and thorough updates that gave us peace of mind.

Shaun and his family took very good care of our high energy golden retriever while we were away for the weekend. He was very communicative and provided updates throughout the day. We felt great knowing our pup was safe, happy and well taken care of.
