Availability

I work from home with my two dogs, very friendly 9-year-old and 5-year-old terrier mixes. My schedule is generally very open, so we usually are able to go for a walk and/or to the dog park every day. Additionally, I let the dogs outside in our fenced backyard at least every couple of hours. Because my schedule is flexible, there are several time ranges throughout the day where I am available to walk or care for others' pets.

Dogs that visit my home will be treated like one of our pack - lots of potty breaks in the backyard, walks, cuddles on the couch, and playtime with toys and the resident dogs. Of course, your dog's individual needs, be them medical or otherwise, will be attended to carefully.

Please let me know about any allergies or other health conditions your dog may have. Additionally, it would be very helpful to know if there are any particular situations in which your dog may feel anxious. Looking forward to taking the best care of your animals!

We are new to the area, so I'm excited to explore all of the dog-friendly places and walking trails Columbia has to offer with my own pups as well as yours!

Pet care experience

Coming from a multi-dog and multi-cat childhood home, I have had lifelong care experience with pets of every age, size, and temperament. My partner and I currently have 2 dogs, frequently pet-sit for friends, and we have fostered dogs in the past. We have diligently cared for dogs and cats (and pet rats!) with medical needs, as well as senior animals. We work opposite schedules, so someone will be at the house with your furry friend nearly 24/7!

AB took great care of our Keelan! He was all tired out (in the best way) after spending a few days playing with her and her pups.

AB and Nicole took great care of our dog and provided frequent updates. They were easy to communicate with and assured us our dog was at ease. They have a nice size backyard and deck for the dogs to use. Their other two dogs are very easy going and provided some companionship for our dog.

They were amazing! This was my first time leaving my dogs and they left me with no worries. They sent many pictures throughout my trip and my dogs always looked so happy. We will definitely book again!
