Pet care experience

Fun loving, safe environment!

We both have had pets in our lives, all our lives. Although we recently lost our beloved Ty the Boxer boy, we have no immediate plans to rescue another pup. But we will still enjoy and welcome the company of furry children. Aside from playing, belly scratches, and lots of kisses we have a large shaded, fenced in yard. I am a ceramic artist and lucky to work from home so the dogs are never alone. Joanne is a Landscape Designer. We have a spacious home and the dogs are free to roam inside the house and the backyard. We offer a safe, and fun loving environment, and we live in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood to walk the dogs. We both enjoy our home and garden very much and we think your dogs will too.

Susan and Joanne were excellent and have a wonderful home. We liked that they had us do and meet & greet to make sure it was a good fit for our dog. They accommodated us last minute and really helped us out. They went out of the way to cook special food when our dog was not eating his kibble. We would love for our pup to stay with them again.

Really appreciate Susan and Joanne watching Strider over the holiday weekend. We got updates daily and he was given a ton of attention.

Safety, trust & environment

We follow the instructions of the owners of care and feeding routines, and we do not feed them human food from our table. The backyard is kept clean of dog poos so they can run and play and fresh water is always available. Our yard is fenced in and there is no way to escape.

A typical day

We used to love to go to Chollas Lake with Ty. There is a lot to see there, and the perfect environment. It will also depend on what your dog enjoys. Neighborhood walks are also fun!
