Hello dog moms and dads! My name is Stacie and my husband’s name is Kaleb. We've had dogs for over 8 years and have taken care of our family & friend’s dogs for a prolonged time. We have three dogs, Jasper, Jaxx & Mara - all three are good with other dogs. Our family plans to stay home as much as possible when watching a new dog. If we do leave the house it would not be for very long (usually grocery shopping or going out to eat). If we do head out for an outing, the dogs are always let out before we leave and if we can bring them with us, we do. We would only take your dog with us on a hike/playdate if we have watched your dog more than twice and have permission from you. We have so many toys in our house that we don’t know what to do with, so there's no way that a dog could get bored. Every dog that we meet is different with specialized needs and preferences. We will do our best to accommodate them and make sure they will be comfortable in our home. I know how I would want my dogs to be taken care of, with the most love and exercise that they are used to. Plus we can watch The Office on the couch together. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture, so yours would be as well if you allow it. If your dog is not allowed on the furniture and/or sleeps in a kennel at night we will 100% accommodate that for your dog. We have an XL kennel in our home, so no need to bring one! Consistent training is very important and we wouldn't want to mess up what you have worked so hard for. Our backyard is very large with a 6 ft. fence along the front and sides and a 5 ft. fence covering the back fenced. Your dog would be observed at all times like my dogs are. We are looking forward to their visit and to meeting you!
