Pet Spotlight: Lebowski “The Dude”

This story starts on Petfinder.com!

One night, Megann was looking at puppies online and thinking of what could be and, low and behold, she stumbled upon “Bouncy” a great dane mix who was cuter than any dog she had ever seen (not cuter than Tyler, of course!)

Little Lebowski… Digging Holes!

We contacted the rescue organization and set up a time to pick up our new puppy!

Tyler loved him from the moment she met him! He’s her protector and bigger brother but don’t let that fool you, she’s still in charge here 🙂

We love our Great Dane! He’s not just great… he’s AWESOME!

Pet Spotlight: Tyler “PupperNutter” Wither’s Story

docsdoggydaycare

 

Doc and I adopted Tyler in 2006 from the Winchester SPCA. Her story is an endearing one for an awesome dog that has been our #1 pup for over 10 years now!

The trip to get Tyler started out like any typical engaged couple’s journey to the animal shelter. I distinctly remember saying, “We’re not getting a dog. We’re just looking.” Famous last words, huh?

So, we looked around the kennels. We saw some amazing dogs but none that really fit into our lives. Then, in the last cage sat Tyler. Her four-month-old tail was wagging as if we were old friends. I turned to Doc and said “If we were going to get a dog… We’d get this dog.” She was, and is, so cute!

So, I went to the front desk to ask if we could take her out on the leash and play with her in the yard. The kennel attendant told us that she had been recently abandoned in an apartment and she hadn’t been signed over to the pound for adoption yet. We would later find out that her shrill bark was the most likely reason she was brought into the puppy pound. Phew… Just saying. So, disappointed, we walked back to the kennel to say goodbye to this adorable dog. Just then, as if fate had sent us to her and her to us, the gentleman talking to the chihuahua puppy next to her said that she was his dog and asked us, “Do you want her?”

And the rest is history.

Tyler has taught us so many lessons about patience and understanding. We are so grateful to have her in our lives.

Our Pack

We FOUND Them! Welcome, Lizz and Bradley S., our New Rover.com Affiliates!

With great enthusiasm and pleasure, we invite you to check out our new Rover.com affiliates Lizz and Bradley S.!

Lizz and Brad

Here, at Doc’s Doggy Daycare, we pride ourselves on providing excellent pet care for your amazing fur babies and we are SO excited to announce that we found some wonderful people to help us do just that!

Doc and I met Lizz through completely random circumstance at one of our favorite restaurants. Oddly enough, it was just a whim that we went that evening and, funny story, Lizz thought we were mystery shoppers!

Before dining, one of our long-term clients was leaving the same restaurant and we flagged her down for conversation. Lizz patiently waited while we wrapped up our chat with our amazing client, and provided us with great service as we ate our delicious meal.

Whenever Doc and I go out, we like to get to know the person that is helping us on the other side of the proverbial counter, so we struck up a conversation. Lizz told us that she was looking for a bit more freelance income and had recently signed up on a website to connect her to pet sitting clients.

Faster than you can say “Doc’s Doggy Daycare” we had a lightbulb moment. This wonderfully caring and extremely genuine individual could be the answer to a prayer for us, our business, and our family. We told her about Rover.com and presented her with the opportunity to mentor her on the ways of pet sitting.

Well, now, we’d like to introduce you to Lizz and Bradley S.

Right now, Lizz and Bradley are offering walk and check-in services and we’re referring them to everyone! Schedule your pup’s meet and greet with them today!

One of the challenges we’ve faced while on this path has been not having enough availability for our existing clients’ needs and not having a vetted, trusted sitter to refer to our clients for help. We love your pets like our own and want to make sure we find the best person, or in this case, persons, to recommend.

Well, this is no longer a struggle because we found Lizz, she found us… We found each other! And now, we hope that you will find her too.

Schedule your meet and greet with Lizz and Bradley today through Rover.com!
