My husband and I have grown up loving all different types of dogs in our lives. A passion for pooches is a trait we share, and we want to share this love with our East Bay neighbors who love their pups like we do and want to trust their fur babies with capable, gentle, and attentive dog lovers.

We primarily hike outdoors, anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hour vigorous hikes. However, we can just as easily guide your pup on a gentle expedition through the hills or through your own neighborhood. We will work on leash manners, and there is nothing better than a tired pup during training exercises.

Please reach out if you have any questions!

Doggy baths available upon request.

Drop off and pick up available upon request.

I am a recent empty nester with a large fenced backyard in Vallejo. However, the reason I am posting in Moraga is that I lived in Moraga(near Los Perales Elementary School) for 9 years until Sept.2018. I moved after my youngest graduated from high school in June 2018. I am intimately familiar with LaMorinda(and Oakland for that matter as we lived in 3 houses there). Frankly, there are more families that travel in LaMorinda than Vallejo. My reviews will substantiate my competence in caring for your dog(s). I am willing to pick up/drop off your dog for $10 each way to LaMorinda,Walnut Creek, Oakland and Berkeley or any communities close to those. I live in a nice house with a big back yard. If you want to drive up once and check the place out, perfect! If you prefer not to make the trek to Vallejo even once, I could drive down to meet you with pictures of my new home. I can give you personal references.

In my world, dogs are a 10 and people(in general) are a 5. That is honestly the way I feel. Dogs are just so geeat. I love taking care of dogs and would welcome your dog into my home. Since my dog is allowed on the furniture and bed, so is yours!

How long have you been a dog lover? Tell us about your history with dogs.

I have been a dog lover all of my life. As a child, my best friends were my dogs.

What would you like to know about a dog before sitting him or her? Do you have any breed preferences?

Well, I have owned dachshunds, dobermans, corgis, and I currently have a senior miniature american eskimo but I love all breeds.

Do you have reliable transportation in the event of an emergency?

Yes, I have a Toyota Rav 4 and am 11 minutes from 2 local vets, 20 minutes from a night time, weekend emergency vet.

Are you comfortable administering medication?

Yes, I have had several if my own dogs on medications. I am very comfortable administering medications.

How much time do you plan on spending with my dog each day?

I am pretty much with these dogs 24/7 except when I do an errand where a dog is not allowed. With your permission, I would take your dog with me in the car unless it is too hot to do so . In the event I am gone several hours, I have an experienced high-school or college- aged dogsitter to watch the dogs while I am away.

If you have a backyard, please describe it.

A big fenced in backyard. Flat directly in back in an L shaped. Your dog would be watched out in the backyard.

Where will my dog sleep?

Usually your dog will sleep in my bed with me. If it doesn't like the bed, the dogs usually sleep on dog beds around my bed. The dogs like to sleep near me and I like them sleeping near me. Some dogs prefer sleeping downstairs on the couch which is fine by me. Occasionally I get puppies that sleep in crates and I sometimes(owners discretion) place the crate adjacent to my bed, usually with a sheet over it to limit distractions.

Where will you take my dog on walks? Tell me about it.

I will take the dog in my neighborhood in a large circle, and check with you about the length of time you want the dog walked if your dog is elderly, isn't normally walked, or has some special medical needs.

Welcome to Addogable Pet Sitting services. I provide flexible rates and accommodations to give my clients the peace of mind while they are on vacation, at work, or any other needs.

I have taken great care of my own pets and I want to give that same care to other pets. I have a passion in providing quality care to clients by giving updates to owners frequently through pictures and videos. I have my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Business Administration. I eventually want to have my own business in training dogs to help people with disabilities. I am mostly available in the morning from Monday-Thursday and all day Sunday. I would prefer communication through Rover at the before of our meet and greet. I am willing to drive further than 5 miles to take care of your dog, depending on the rate, to accommodate my trip to your place.

I have full time availability that can include dog walking, boarding and housesitting. I am currently pursuing my MBA so I will be home most of the time. The times I am usually away from home are in the mornings where I walk dogs. I am flexible with short and long-term schedules as well.

I live in an apartment complex with a doggie park. I also have a small playpen for small dogs to play inside my apartment. I live with my fiancé who is usually home if I am not home taking care of our pets and owner’s pets. My dogs are really friendly and love to play with new dogs.

NEWSFLASH...

Want another Pet? Julie loves volunteering helping animals and says the shelters are a good place to look when adding a new furry member to your family. Fostering is an option if you can't fully commit to a lifelong dog or cat.

I grew up with dogs since I was 5 years old. There was always a dog in our house. I so wanted all the time to bring home stray dogs and kittens. My last dog was Red. He was a rescue from the Martinez shelter. My son and I had to wait until the owner had to give permission to give him up. This took a few weeks. When we found out he was available, we found out another family was interested. We were told it was first come first serve. My son and I decided to camp out in my truck in front of the shelter overnight. Tent in the back with a make shift toilet. We were the first ones there that morning and got to bring Red home. Red died close to 3 years ago from joint and head cancer. I love dogs but I am afraid there will never be one again like Red. After going to my friends house last Friday who is a dog watcher, I met an adorable Chihuahua named Smalls. The dog sat on my lap almost the whole night. I said to myself how cool of a job this would be. I am a very active person and love to go for walks but it would be so much cooler if I had a buddy with me then going by myself. I miss having a dog around to play with and to love. And this is why I decided that watching dogs would be so cool!

We have cheerfully invited and cared for over 1,000 dogs since we have begun with Rover. What we are most proud of is that nearly 90% of our Rover friends come back again! Doggie Disney is designed for dogs with nearly an acre of grass and running room for your dog(s). It's like a manicured dog park. We have 3 people who live on the property (all who have had background checks done of Rover) for your safety and security. Our expansive grass lawns are heaven made for dogs, in fact our endearing Rover guests have nicknamed us "Doggie Disney". Check out the pictures, and our tail wagging guests reviews!

We understand that your dog is more than just a pet, they are part of your family and we treat them with that respect and love. We take this responsibility seriously and prove it by rarely taking more than 4 dogs + (our dog Checotah) at a time therefore, I (Tommy), Shelly (my wife), Shari (our trusted friend who lives in the guest cottage) - can provide one on one attention to ensure that we provide your family pet that "Disney feel" of a clean, safe, fun & litter free environment!

You will enjoy & take comfort in the fact that we pride ourselves in sending photos & communication while you are away. We provide everything for your pets stay including bedding, feeding and water dishes so all you need to supply is their food. (Note: If you choose to bring your own bedding, toys or blankets please be aware that you do this at your responsibility and with the understanding that they could get damaged or torn as the dogs love to play and tussle).

You will also be able to relax knowing that we offer the security of the Rover Verification background check and the documented knowledge of being recipients of the Rover Graduate training course, and the provision of safety through our 24/7 Rover Vet Protection Package. We do this for the love of dogs and in constant pursuit to provide a holiday for your family pets, so while you are on holiday, they are too - at Doggie Disney ~ The Happiest Doggie Place On Earth!

The property is completely fenced and gated to protect the your pet. We NEVER feed dogs in the same room to eliminate any sharing of food or squabbles. The property is heaven for dogs & we love animals. Take a look at the pictures to gain an idea of our setting.

About this sitter:

We love dogs and lost Molly our 14 year old border collie in August 2014 so we thought this would be the perfect time to check out Rover.com and share our home. Between Tom & Shelly, and our dear friend Shari who lives in the cottage on the property, we have lots of hands to help and watch over your family dog.

Prices are as follows:

Due to overwhelming demand for overnight stays and our commitment to take a maximum of 4 dogs - Doggie Daycare has been put on hold to accommodate our frequent overnight doggie guests - We sell out nearly every weekend!

1. Overnight stays are $45 per night. Any medical requirements that are necessary are an additional $5 per night / for application. Holiday rates are $5 additional per night.

2, Due to everyone's work schedule's we ask that drop offs and pickups be between 8:30 AM-10 am or after 5pm. But, we ask that pick up times be before your pet is fed in the evening, otherwise that would be considered an additional stay. We do understand things happen such as traffic and flight delays, but dogs are fed by 6pm and put to bed by 9. Anything later than 9pm needs to be an additional stay as the excitement when picking up a dog could serve to be intrusive to our beloved neighbors.

Why I love dog sitting:

We have had dogs and been a foster home for dogs for over 20+ years. As our kids grew up we had goats in our barn, sheep, chickens, cats, & of course, dogs! We love animals & have the perfect set up with all usable 2/3 of an acre to roam & play. You have to see it to believe it. Think of a manicured dog park all usable for the dogs to play in, run or rest under a shade tree.

Meet our dog:

Checotah - 16+ year old mature & friendly border collie (reference pictures in profile). Checotah is truly the goodwill Ambassador and gets along with everyone.

About my yard:

Kind of rhetorical, but here we go again:

1. 2/3 of an acre all usable acreage.

2. Lots and lots of grass and places to play

3. Completely fenced yard

4. Automatic Lights in the entire backyard (dusk to dawn)

5. 3 garages

6. 1 barn + 1 barn yard

7. 1 separate gated & fenced 150 foot by 10 foot dog run.

8. 3 redwood decks

9. 1 thatched room backyard BBQ hut 40 foot by 60 foot

10. Large sand pit for the dogs (they love this!)

11. Two water stations & separate feeding stations

12. Enclosed & insulated garage for sleeping & relaxing

My experience administering medication:

I was an EMT ski patrolman for 9 years in Tahoe. My son in law (Drew) was also an EMT and currently holds his EMT license and my daughter is on staff at John Muir.
