Pet care experience

As an active family with two dogs of our own, we know how hard it can be to leave your fur-babies while you're away. Your dog can join our pack, including two female dogs, and you can feel comfortable knowing your dog will be loved and cared for as though it were ours. Our one active dog is always happy to play while our slightly older other dog is always looking for a cuddle buddy, though she's often enjoying the play time as well! Either way, your dog will have a friend. We have a new 7 foot privacy fence that surrounds most of our yard, and the rest is fenced with a chain link fence. Our two boys are huge dog lovers and they love to play with all dogs, large or small. Our kids are very involved in the care of most dogs, unless an owner advises otherwise. We find they can bring a shy dog out of its shell very quickly, and they provide either quiet energy for cuddling or high energy for playing, to suit your dog's needs. Both adults are home all day and will make sure your dog has time outside to do its business, or just to relax and lounge in the sun. Our doggie door allows your dog the flexibility to go out when he/she wants, once they get the hang of it. Our dogs typically get at least one 2 mile walk per day, and we'd love to add to our pack for these walks! Please note if your dog needs more or less than this walk time, we can accommodate most requests. Recently we've been doing a 3.4 mile loop in the afternoon in addition to a 2 mile walk in the morning. If this is too much for your dog, we're happy to adjust!
