Animal Loving Family! Our animals are our family members. We have 2 dogs, Chip (Golden Doodle) and Joanna (Australian Shepherd), 3 kids (8,12,13) a fenced in yard, and a big open inside space within the home. Our animals, and visiting animals come on day trips with us, go up to our cabin in Midway, sleep in our beds, and lounge on the furniture even. We love to snuggle and talk to our pets like they are one of us. We love visiting pups too. Males need to be neutered since our Australian Shepherd is a showdog and is not fixed. We are very easy going and flexible. My husband works remotely from home and so our dogs are hardly left alone for any length of time. About our dogs: Joanna is 4 and is high energy. She loves to play, and try to initiate play. Jo sleeps on our bed every night. She also loves to eat and makes you think she never got fed. Chip is 5 and he is pretty chill, loves to observe, love walks, going for drives in the car and loves to snuggle. He’s very friendly and thinks he’s a human. We rent out our small basement apartment with tenants, and can only sit dogs that do not bark a lot. A dog that is quiet when in their crate, or doesn't need a crate at all might be the best option. Dogs we sit are rarely crated but if your dog feels most comfortable with their crate please bring it! There is usually always someone home. Jake works remotely from home, Stacey is a teacher in the local school district, and all our kids are in grade school. We are a busy family, but are never often gone longer than several hours. We have a fenced in yard, and let our dogs in and out as often as they need. We feed our dogs twice a day and would be happy to follow a feeding schedule best for your pup. Our dogs just sleep where they want, but would be happy to crate your dog at night if that is best for your dog. We are happy to work with you and how your dogs needs to be cared for. We have many repeating clients and over 80 5 star reviews. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Our earliest drop off would be 8am but reach out if you need an earlier drop off. If you need earlier than 8am consider booking drop off for the night before.
