Small–Mid Dogs Who Love Kids

Pet care experience

Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cared for them well into adulthood. Our last family dog was a French Bulldog who passed away five years ago, just a month before my second daughter was born. While we haven’t adopted another dog since, our home has never really been without dogs. Over the past several years, we’ve regularly cared for friends’ dogs and have also helped rescue and relocate two dogs in the past two years. Dog sitting has naturally become part of our family life. This is very much a family-based experience. My daughters love helping care for the dogs, playing with them, and giving them attention. For us, this is a fun way to teach responsibility, kindness, and entrepreneurship — and for the dogs, it means extra love and playtime. That said, I am always the primary caregiver. I work from home, spend the most time with the dogs, handle all walks, feeding, and daily routines, and make sure every dog gets proper attention. To keep things calm and personal, we care for a maximum of two dogs at a time. This allows us to give each dog plenty of one-on-one attention and maintain a peaceful home environment. The Type of Dogs We’re Best For We’re a great fit for small to mid-size, family-friendly dogs who enjoy a calm, loving home environment. We do best with dogs who are:    •   Comfortable around children    •   Generally calm and well-mannered    •   Not excessive barkers (occasional alert barking is totally fine)    •   Preferably low-shedding    •   Trained not to go on furniture Our goal is to create a safe, relaxed, and happy experience for both the dogs and our family. If your dog enjoys human company, gentle play, and a structured but loving environment, they’ll feel right at home with us 🐾

AMAZING STAY! From the very first meet & greet, I knew Oreo was in great hands with Alan and Vanesa. They were kind, patient, and truly caring, which made me feel at ease right away. They treated Oreo like family, their daughters were so sweet and gave her lots of love and playtime. I also really appreciated the updates. Oreo came back happy and relaxed. I highly recommend them and would definitely book with them again.

Amazing dog sitters!!! We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! Alan and Vanesa are attentive, reliable, and they truly treated Yeyo like their own dog .We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such loving hands. Highly recommend!

Alan and his family are amazing with dogs! They took care of our French bulldog a few times, and our pup absolutely loved him. They are super trustworthy, caring, and easy to work with. I always knew my dog was in good hands!

Alan has been a LIFE SAVIOR for my toy aussie, literally. He once had to take her to the vet while I was away since a weird ball appear on her skin. He took charge of the entire process to cure her, which involved a few visits to the vet and some home care to make sure she healed properly. Thank you for being our hero Alan! He also has a lovely family and they all adore animals, so my dog feels loved and has lots of fun when she's with them. I'm get kind of jealous sometimes ;) Super recommend Alan and his family to take care of your dog, I've had many dog sitters and there's no comparison!
