As a USMC veteran and lifelong dog owner, I know what it means to be there for your buddy. I'll bring that same commitment to caring for yours. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. 🐾 I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. Additionally, through my volunteer rescue work as a dog adoption coach and dog handler, I've gained experience working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. 🐾 My wife, Ellen, is a former Humane Law Enforcement Officer and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Together, we share a passion for animal welfare. 🐾 We currently share our home with two rescue dogs and three indoor cats. We know that every pet has different needs, routines, and comfort levels. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pet feels at home while you're away. 🐾 If you think we'd be a good fit, I'd love to meet you and your buddy. We can talk about your dog's routine, personality, and any questions you may have before booking. 🐾 We hold all meet-and-greets at the dog-friendly neighborhood park right across the street from our home. We do this because it's a neutral place where everyone can relax, get to know each other, and make sure we're all a good fit before bringing a new dog into our home. It also gives me a chance to observe your dog's body language and get to know them in a low-pressure setting. 🐾 Thank you for considering us to care for your buddy. We appreciate the opportunity to earn your trust and hope to meet you both soon.
