Pet care experience
Your dog will be loved like our family dog while they stay with us. I'm home full time with my family, and can provide play time, walks, and outdoor time. My two kids are "dog-friendly" thanks to their patient "big sister," a eight-year-old lab mix named Charlie (and she loves having doggy sleepovers). We have a large fenced back yard and lots of walk-able areas to explore. Night walks always include safety lights for all pups. I am comfortable providing medicines if needed. My previous experience caring for other people's pets include daily dog walking and house sitting while the client was at work. I will provide daily pictures and updates of our activities. We keep the upstairs and basement fenced off so dogs don’t get into things they shouldn’t. Bathroom breaks happen every 2-4 hours, or as needed. I'm excited to host dogs in our home so you can have peace of mind while you are away! New clients and first time bookings: I require a meet and greet at my backyard so we can decide if your pet will be a good fit for my care. It allows the best experience for your dog. Because of this, I cannot take same day or last minute bookings for new pets. Please allow a minimum of two weeks between your request and the dates of your booking so that we can attempt a meet and greet. If I am unable to schedule a meet and greet before your requested booking, I will not be able to host your pet. I am home all day with the exception of school pick up and drop off and occasional appointments. I am not gone for more than 1-2 hour chunks of time. Our backyard is fenced, and I don’t leave dogs unattended outdoors. We fence off the upstairs and basement so that curious pups can’t get into things they shouldn’t. Night walks always have safety lights.
Reviews
Becca was great with communication, flexible when our plans changed a bit, and kind with our elderly dogs!
Booking with Becca was easy (done it before). I think my dog had a good stay.
As always, Becca was wonderful!! I never worry about a thing!!
Becca took great care of our dog Cooper while we were away. I loved all the pictures and updates she sent and I know he loved their big backyard. We’ll definitely book with her again! ?

Safety, trust & environment
Our large, fenced backyard and raised deck allows for dogs to get outside. I keep dogs separated during feeding time. We use a gate to block the upstairs and downstairs so that we can keep an eye on the dogs. All treats I provide are fully digestible.
Home
Information Becca F. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know general information about the dog's temperament, whether he or she has any quirks or triggers (like odd leash behavior, noises they don't like, digging, etc.). Do they chew? Are they reliably house trained? When my kids play with our dog I always supervise, but I will need to know if your dog has any past issues with small children.
A typical day
Our neighborhood is friendly and walk able, and the walks I take my dog on last between 15 minutes to an hour. Our yard is large enough for fetch and frisbee time. Our dog loves to play with other dogs, and so there will be lots of social time -- but we have space for a crate in case your pup needs alone time to decompress.
