I'm home all day for romps and play
Pet care experience
I work from home which means I'm always present to take care of your dog's needs. Is s/he reassured by having someone around during the day? I'm there! Does s/he need a mid-day walk? I'm home so it's not a problem! I'm active and always looking for a companion to join me on my daily walks and/or runs. Not your dog's pace? That's fine, too. Being home all day gives me the flexibility to adapt to your dog's schedule - whether it's shorter, more frequent walks or lots of exercise several times a day, I can make it happen. I grew up with Jetson, a large, kind and incredibly loyal Yellow Lab - he was really and truly the best. He passed when I was in college and I've done everything I can to keep pets in my life ever since even when living in small apartments and during three years abroad as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I did a lot of pet sitting for friends while living in Washington, DC where my landlord wouldn't let us have a long-term furry friend. My friends will tell you how much I love dogs and how good I am at taking good care of them while their owners are away. My fiancé and I live in a two bedroom unit with ample outdoor space. We're a smoke-free, pet-free and child-free (for now) home. We have an outside patio area and yard and we're across the street from a corner park and just a block away from the larger Burns Park. We recently moved to Ann Arbor so John can go to graduate school. Please note that I cannot accommodate requests for long-term (one month or more) services as my business travel schedule does not allow it.
Reviews
Beatrice was excellent! My dog came home happy and Beatrice was great about sending daily photos and updates during her stay. I would absolutely recommend her!
Yofi loves staying with John and Beatrice. She had a blast and was very well taken care of during her stay!
Beatrice is very kind, calm and thoughtful. She has a beautiful place in Ann Arbor. Our dog is a senior dog with several needs - she's completely blind, she takes several medications and has nerve damage in her hind legs. Beatrice took great care of Ethel and we will definitely be asking her for help again in the future.
Yofi had a great time with Beatrice and John! We would absolutely have Yofi stay with them again the next time we have to go out of town. They took great care of her and sent us pictures & updates throughout her stay. Highly recommend!

Information Beatrice S. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know general preferences for your dog, including whether or not they like children or other dogs (we don't have either but because we live in a residential neighborhood, we're sure to encounter both on our walks) whether they have a history of aggression or biting (this must be disclosed!) and whether or not they're prone to barking (at passing cars, the mailman, etc). Small and medium sized dogs (under 50 lbs) are preferred and larger dogs will be considered on a case-by-case basis due to size restrictions in our lease.
A typical day
We'll take walks around town and in neighboring parks, we'll eat treats (but not too many), we'll relax on the patio (weather permitting, of course) and we'll hang out in my office while I work and your dog snoozes. If your dog likes to run, I will happily take him/her on my morning runs or we can go on a leisurely morning stroll. Some reason we can't go on a walk? That's OK, too. We have easy access to the yard so the outdoors is never more than a few steps away. I can adapt to just about any needs your dog may have.
