Pet care experience
Loving Dog Care = Happy Tails
Hello! My wife and I are long‑time dog lovers/owners who would be delighted to share our time and attention with your pet. After recently saying goodbye to our beloved Golden Retriever, we currently have a dog‑free home. While we’re not ready to return to full‑time dog ownership, we’re excited to welcome other dogs into our lives—whether for daytime care or extended overnight stays. Our spacious, modern home sits in front of a scenic pond along an extensive walking path, with acres of green space and nearby dog parks perfect for exercise and play. As a retiree, I’m able to devote plenty of time to caring for and entertaining your pets throughout the day. My wife, who works outside the home, loves the warmth and companionship dogs bring after a busy day, adding even more affection and attention to their care. And our college-age daughter is often home from school to provide more love, play and doting (especially the doting!). We’re an active family, and walks and exercise are already part of our daily routine. Your pets will be treated as welcome guests in our home, receiving the love, care, and companionship they deserve. We can't wait to meet you and your furry family!

Ratings and reviews
Tom was great! Sent pictures and videos daily. Communicated very well. Already booked our next stay!
Tom always takes great care of our two doggos, we will book with him again in the future!
Tom was wonderful with our senior dog, Frankie. He set him up to have a comfortable experience in a new place. He took him on walks and we received multiple photos of Frank too! We appreciate feeling like our boy was in great hands and being well cared for while we were away; that peace of mind is everything. Communication with Tom was top notch and he offers a meet and greet prior to our scheduled day. Thank you, Tom!!
Nova really enjoyed her playdates with Tom! She had lots and lots of playtime and multiple walks. Her second day was a week after the first, and it was lovely to see how excited she was to go back! Tom sent lots of photos and videos of them having a good time!
Tom was amazing! I can say enough great things about my dogs stay. It was a quick weekend trip, but we got lots of updates and pictures of my dog. When I went to pick my dog up, he didn’t want to leave!
Tom was very flexible and communicative when I reached out for a drop in visit/walk. He arrived on time and gave my dog lots of love and attention while he was there. He also sent me lots of pictures which is always nice to receive. I will definitely have him back to help!

Schedule
As an active, healthy retiree, I enjoy daily exercise and walks, ensuring your dog would benefit from consistent activity, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We provide a safe, welcoming environment where pets are treated like family. Our modern home offers ample space, nearby walking paths, and green areas for play and fresh air.
A typical day
A typical day includes scenic walks (long or short, depending on your pet's preference), playful indoor activities, and plenty of cuddling and comforting—something every dog and person needs. During warmer months, we also visit a MetroParks dog-friendly swimming pond, for those more adventurous breeds.
