Pet care experience

Big yard! Lots of love

Home almost the time. I know that it is so hard on pets when there owners are away. So it is so important to me that your dog is catered too emotionally and physically. The love we give can not be measured. Walked daily. We have two sons the oldest is 17 and the youngest is 16. My oldest son wants to be a vet because of the love he has for dogs. We are a family of dog lovers of all kinds. Your dog will be apart of the family. We also have two very passive labs. Your dog will have inside outside access at your pets leisure. We can send photos or video or even FaceTime with your pet while you are away. We check with owners first but in the morning we make a scrambled egg with their kibble and a tablespoon of tuna with there dinner if it is ok with owners. We treat this stay like their vacation. When you are in vacation you have a steak so on their vacation they need a treat too. They can sleep where they feel most comfortable. Whether it’s On the couch or in bed with us it is their free will. We have 15 giant dog beds and sometimes we double them and it is very comfortable for them. On hot days we fill the puppy pool with water for them to play. This is their puppy vacation and we provide the whole experience. On Christmas they even get a stocking from Santa. Our one big rule is everyone eats separately. We have kennels to ensure everyone eats separately for their own safety. This is the total dog experience. It’s their home away from home. Also we are very equipped to handle meds, shots and cater to older dogs needs. We have dealt with dogs with all types of ailments. If your dog needs to see a vet while in our care we have no problems taking them. Owner just calls the vet to do over the phone payment. We have run into dogs having ear infections and other medical needs that they have had an on going health issue with that they may need to go to the vet for. We want the dog to be comfortable so if owner wants us to take the dog in we gladly do so.

Erica and Stephen were awesome with Rufus for his first time being away from us! They are clearly so experienced with dogs and seem to just love dogs. They sent us videos and pictures and were communicative throughout our vacation. Would 100% use them again - Rufus seemed happy to have stayed with them and didn't seem to miss us at all. :)

Has your dog bit anyone before. All vaccine records. Vet name of your pet. And a list of your dogs likes and dislikes to make your dogs stay the best it could be! Also we DO NOT REQUIRE this but we do recommend they they get their flu shot. Yes I know I said the same thing to our vet “dogs can get the flu” flu ? lol yes right know it is over the Bay Area and it is a nasty virus. So it is not required but recommended.
