About: Hi and welcome to Idyllwild! Our names are Anna and Tyler and we are full time residents of this beautiful mountain town. 🏔️ We both have grown up with dogs and have two super friendly dogs named Gus and Murphy who spend their days running around in our fully fenced in back yard and going on walks about the scenic neighborhood. We love having furry friends over and giving them their own little mountain adventure! Guaranteed play time outside for most of the day and lots of cuddles and belly rubs. We’re a great resource for when you want to go on hikes in the area as most of the trails are not dog friendly! We both work from home full time so your dog will get lots of love and attention! For our furry friends doing drop in visits and walks, we can accommodate any schedule and frequency, as our work days are very flexible! You can expect your dog(s) to have plenty of fun, supervised, run around time in the backyard. Lots of different space for play or naps 🎉
“Amberleigh is great and my pups really enjoyed their walk. It's great having someone reliable and friendly that we can trust with our pups during our busy season.”
“Julie is fantastic. She took great care of our gal Mesa for an afternoon while Mom and Dad were playing in the mountains. She clearly loves dogs, both hers and others, and is a pleasure to meet and work with. We will certainly use her again when an all-day adventure comes calling next. Thanks Julie!!!”
About: I have house sat + pet sat for different animals from young and spunky, to wiser and older, and pets that were preparing to cross over the rainbow. I have sat for young dogs, senior dogs, and senior cats with special needs. I have professional experience in esthetics and art so it comes natural to me to have compassion, love, and care for creatures and humans! I always communicate with owners if ever there are any concerns or questions regarding their fur babe. I also love to take cute pet portraits on our walks of them in their natural states of happiness and send them to the owners so they know their animals are doing amazing and are in good hands, living their best dog or cat life! Currently, my availability is most flexible on Saturday evenings through Monday evenings for overnight stays and Thursdays for all day walks and check-ins if needed. The rest of the week I am available in the evenings and can accommodate for walks/check-ins. Just ask! I prefer to care for your pets in your home for overnight stays as your pet is already familiar with its surroundings, scents, and all their usual comforts. I find it more comfortable for the pet especially as most pets will miss their people, naturally! I provide all the snuggles and space they need depending on how the animal is feeling, lots of walks, treats and little adventures so that they are always having a good time. Building a relationship on trust with animals is something that I aim for from the beginning!
