We live in the Green Gables area of Palo Alto in a large single family home. We have the world's friendliest 9-year old female yellow lab, Daizy, and a fenced in back yard. We take multiple walks per day in the neighborhood and if desired, we can go to nearby off leash areas as well. We're on Rover mainly because of our love of dogs and so our kids will have a part-time job. They will send you photo updates 2X a day. Free daily face time upon request and unlimited play time with Daizy. Your dog's exclusive care team consists of me (I work from home), my seventeen year old son Ryan (feeder and poop collector) and my fifteen year old son, Brandon (photographer and hugger), both are straight A students at Palo Alto HS. My wife Wendy is a realtor and works from home; she will pitch in with a complementary brushing, general supervision, and lots of kisses. Daizy will be the chief exercise and play partner with as much running around in the back yard as your dog desires. I love dogs and have had dogs in my life since the 1980s and worked at a pet store in high school. While I will be supervising your pup during the entire stay, most the actual work will be performed by Ryan and Brandon so most of the money goes to them which they use for toys, going out with friends, and excursions. Our dog Daizy is a very happy dog she is always wiling to play and have fun. If she ever gets threatened she will submit and avoid conflict. We also have central air conditioning. The dog can sleep with Ryan and Daizy in Ryan's or Brandon's room. Routine is morning feed, morning bathroom break, lunch, lunch play time, afternoon exercise walk, and evening chillaxing on the couch listening to relaxing acoustic music or watching a movie together. We only host one dog at a time so your doggo will get tons of VIP treatment like royalty. On the last day before pickup, we'll give your pooch a final brushing followed by a nice refreshing wipe down using hypoallergenic wet wipes infused with oatmeal, aloe vera, and baking soda.
