Loving Family With Experience

Pet care experience

I have 25 years experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, needs, and ages. We live in a single family home with a large fenced in yard. Animals will receive the same care that I would expect for mine and be treated as members of the family. We have a large, fenced in, backyard and plenty of in and outdoor fun for your pup. They will be well attended to, and receive love and care from not just myself, but all members of the family. They are permitted on the furniture, in bed with us and to be where we are at anytime. There are beds and blankets in every room for their comfort. I am home full time so there is nearly always someone here with the pups and they are cared for and loved by all members of the family. Dogs can be fed up to 4x/day. There are cats in the household (they usually confine themselves to their basement palace,) children ages 2-9 all whom are extremely good with animals. We are a happy, hopping home, but able to provide quiet time and space for dogs who are easily overwhelmed. Your dogs will be well entertained with cuddles, plenty of time outside, games, love and toys galore. Dogs are not generally taken on walks around the neighborhood, unless requested, but do receive plenty of indoor and outdoor playtime with us (fetch, frisbee, etc) for physical and mental stimulation. If we do plan on going for a nice walk or a hike, the pups will accompany us. Single overnight booking includes 24 hours of care (e.g. 1p Sat-1p Sun, or any combo of 24 hours) with a total of 3 hours of leeway given. If you will be expecting the stay to be more than 24 hours (27 with leeway) please note in your message or book as one overnight and one day care (e.g. 10am Sat-7p Sun.) Walks and more are available as add on services. Add on service rates and info is sent upon booking or by request prior to booking, as Rover, unfortunately, does not have a spot for us to offer these and book it with the stay. All pet parents receive text and photo updates, unless not desired. We take safety very seriously: -All dogs are fed separately -Water is always available indoors and out. -House is kept dog proof from dangerous items the dogs could chew or eat. -Someone is always outside with the guest dog. -Exposure and indoor climate are limited, or adjusted, based on the dog's tolerance. -I am well educated in pet first aid and am also a human nurse -I have many years of dog training experience, including my own service dog. -In the extremely unlikely event that a dog would escape, all guest pups wear a bright orange collar stating that they are a guest in an unfamiliar area and our phone number, along with their normal collar and tags. -For the escape artist, again, in the very unlikely event they would become separated from us, they wear a very efficient gps tag to allow for a very rapid recovery. Escape artists are also attached to a 100 foot long lead while in the yard just as a safety precaution (our yard is well fenced but a very crafty dog could possibly find a way out). Your dog is our priority and his love and care is our passion. Please ask if you have any other questions.

Taylor and her family where great. Axle was exhausted when he got back home he sleep all evening. They are vary caring about our fur baby and help reinforce the same training we where doing with him. I would recommend her to anyone

We have a 3 year old male Golden Retriever, Nova, and we had a 3 day trip out of town so we connected with Taylor to have her sit Nova at her home. Actually, it's Nova who gives the recommendation. You can tell how your dog was treated by the way they react and their mood when you return. Nova was well and happy upon our return so Taylor gets the 5-stars!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in yard (currently the main fencing is damaged and shorter fencing of 3.5 feet in height is filling in the gaps. We can put your dog on a long lead to be able to roam a bit or take outside on leash only if the short fencing will not be adequate to contain your dog.) Someone is always outside with your dog to ensure their safety. We have gates and cat doors to separate animals if the need should arise or during feeding time for your dog and ours.) Our black lab is extremely submissive and playful and will keep your dogs entertained as long as they want to play. She will leave them alone if they do not. Our youngest child, though very good with animals, is never left alone with the guest dog(s).

Information Taylor M. would like to know about your pet

No breed or age preferences. Dogs must have current rabies vaccine and be on flea and tick treatment. Currently cannot take unneutered males. Does your dog have separation anxiety, need meds, or have any specific aggressions I should be aware of? Is your dog ok with other dogs being in the household? Happy to work with all needs and situations. For housesitting requests, please be able and willing to accommodate my docile PTSD service dog whom will not bother your cats and only play with your dogs if permitted. I cannot accept a housesitting request where I cannot bring her with me.

A typical day

Fetch, kiddie pool, sprinkler, seek and find, frisbee in back yard. Lots of toys in the house and outside for all sizes and chewers. Accompany us on outings if dogs are comfortable in the car and won't be required to wait in the car on very hot or cold days. Inside temperature set up for their comfort. Occasionally on hikes or to visits at family members homes. Tell me what your doggies like most and we'll incorporate it into your stay.
