About: About us 👋 Hey we’re Doug & Catherine and we’ve professionally fostered and taken care of dogs for the past 5 years. We also both grew up with dogs at home. We love that we get the ability to give dogs a safe and loving home (even if it’s just for a day!) We are comfortable leash training, helping dogs through any trauma and dealing with dogs who are timid around other animals or humans. We also don’t mind big or small! ✨BEFORE BOOKING PLEASE NOTE ✨ • If you’re a new client we kindly ask that you request one doggy daycare before booking any long term boarding to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. We have many regulars who we’ve built strong relationships with and want to make sure we can do the same for any new pups too. • We only look after one rover dog at a time and also have no dogs of our own. So yours will be the only one in our home. Our schedule ⏰ We both work from home and have very flexible schedules so walks and potty breaks are all part of our daily routine and can be done whenever needed. We often go to parks morning and night to give your dog space to run and enjoy the outdoors. Our apartment 🏡 We have a large ground floor apartment with a backyard to give your dog lots of indoor and outdoor space. We have dog blankets, toys, yummy treats and a crate to make you dog feel right at home

“Jenna was very attentive to our cat and even paid special care to watering our plants. She is an excellent cat-sitter whom I would recommend to anyone!”


“Cleo took great care of our kittens and they loved hanging out with her! She fed them with well-made dry food, helped clean up litters and played with our cats with toys and lasers. She also took several adorable videos and photos that we loved so much. We are super appreciated Cleo’a visit and will definitely invite her to coming in the future.”


“Gian Paul took good care of McCloud and followed every instruction I gave and more. He’s very patient with my really stubborn Shiba Inu and made sure he gets the care he needs. He’s reliable and trustworthy!”



“I’ve booked two check in visits with Christie so far for my cat and she’s been super attentive and thoughtful with him! Christie also sent detailed notes and pictures after the visit. Would recommend!”


“Juan is a ⭐️! He is my go to whisker watcher. Every day he gives detailed updates with the cutest photos and is such an animal lover. My kitty Tito Burrito adores Juan. It is a blessing to have found Juan as I do have to travel quite a bit more than usual.”


“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Lihan! She took such incredible care of our dogs, Boogie and Gustavo, while we were away. From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and so kind. Lihan followed our detailed care instructions perfectly, including feeding schedules, playtimes, and even the little things like wiping Boogie’s paws and making sure the pups felt comfortable and loved. She handled everything with such care and attention to detail. Not only did Boogie and Gustavo get plenty of exercise and affection, but Lihan also kept our home tidy and sent us updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. We could tell our pups were happy and relaxed in her care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely great with animals, Lihan is absolutely the best. We feel so lucky to have found her and will definitely be asking her to watch Boogie and Gustavo again! Thank you so much, Lihan, for everything!”


“Eugenia has done check-ins for my cat in the past and has always been so good with him, but today she went above and beyond when he had diarrhea and made a mess of his fur. She communicated the situation to me right away, got him cleaned up, and played with him extra long to win back his trust 🥺 if I could give Eugenia more than five stars I would!”



“Tiffany is the best friend a dog or person can have Attentive loving and so thorough hudson and I can’t wait to see you again This is why I refer you to my friends”


“Melissa is a wonderful sitter! She is always incredibly kind, reliable and easy to communicate with. We always know our kitties are in great hands”


“Nina took great care of our cat while we were away, and was so attentive and communicative throughout! She shared lots of photos and videos and so kindly cleaned up after our cat who has a tendency to throw up hair balls. Our cat is older so we generally worry about her when we are away, but it’s much easier when she is well looked after in our absence and that’s how we felt with Nina checking in on her!

About: Hello! I live in an extremely clean and comfortable apartment, with 24/7 doormen. I am available full-time to take care of your dog. I am seriously an animals-lover - they honestly make me so happy and I am so excited to have the opportunity to take care of your dog. I have taken care of 3 pets by myself including a dog and two cats for 16+ years. Two of them have passed, which is one reason why I treasure each time I spend time with animals.

I live with my boyfriend who also works from home, therefore, he and I are going to give a lot of attention to your dog :) Throughout the stay, I will make sure to feed your dog, play with your dog, take your dog for potty breaks, and give all my love and attention :)
