“Moka seemed to have had a great time with Michelle. She was friendly and easy to communicate with, and also provided me updates and photos as this was our first time leaving Moka in someone else's care.”
“Andrea is just wonderful. Kwe'ji was relaxed at her house and had plenty of walks. She doesn't like the heat and it was a nice cool place for her to relax in. Andrea is caring and easy going and very flexible with times. I really appreciated when she was accommodating when I had a last minute family matter to deal with. You won't be disappointed with Andrea's service!”
“Allison was an excellent dogsitter to our senior greyhound! Easy to communicate with, kept us updated with photos, and very flexible to accommodate to our schedule. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Will be using her services again if needed!”

“Kristina was great with our pack of three! She sent regular updates, and lots of pictures :) Our senior is a bit of a handful (grumpy, and spiteful), but she handled him so well. They came home happy and healthy.”
About: We have grown up around dogs our whole life. We have had years of experience taking care of dogs with all sorts of temperaments and activity levels. As shift workers we definitely prioritize our animals and ensure they have ample play time and potty breaks. Our dogs receive a minimum of 1 hr of physical exercise per day. As the days get warmer we spend the majority of the day outside. Our availability reflects the days we are off of work and can spend the entire day caring for your pups! We have two sheepdog/border collie mix dogs who are very active and are very welcoming to any new animal that comes into our home! We will separate all animals for meal times to avoid any issues with food guarding. All dogs will have the ability to roam around the house and our fenced yard freely with supervision.
