I currently have one dog who is very friendly with other dogs. I have a large yard with alot of wooded areas and very low traffic streets around me. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on beds as we love to cuddle. However we follow your wishes, meaning if you prefer no bed then they will have plenty of dogs beds on the floor to sleep on.

Information Thomas R. would like to know about your pet

Ramone is a rescue dog and gets along well with all breeds. We love meeting other dog families. My wife volunteers at an animal rescue.

A typical day

I can take your pets on walks and we live on a lake so swimming is always an option. Ramone is a great playmate and loves having other dogs over.

Pet care experience

I have owned and taken care of numerous breeds of dogs. They range from all types of bully breeds, various mastiff breeds, terriers, and more. I am very comfortable with multiple types of dog personalities and have also trained several dogs. I am retired and able to spend quality time with your pet. Your pet will be in my home with me and my wife.

Our dogs loved to stay with Thomas! He provided us with a ton of updates and pictures during their stay and I know they got tons of outside time and love while they were there.

Great communication before and during the stay. Mabel was happy and healthy when we picked her up, would definitely recommend.

My dog seems to enjoy staying with Thomas and Sue and she doesn't like being away from me so that is comforting. They have a nice mellow dog that she gets along well with so I think it is fun for her since she doesn't get opportunity to play with other dogs often. They give her lots of attention and care for her well.

Very attentive to Mojo. Mojo was very scared and wouldn’t come out of his kennel/carrier, but Thomas tried to get him out with food and toys, lots of patience! He has a very calm demeanor to help calm your pet.
