Your Dog’s Second Home 🐶

Your dog is home with us 🐾 Hi! We’re Alder and Kathy, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of our lives. We’ve both grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities, so we’re comfortable providing a safe, loving environment for every pup—big or small. When your dog stays with us, they’re treated like family. Our home is fully pet-friendly, and our dog is friendly and social, always ready to welcome a new companion for playtime and company. Whether your pup loves to stay active or just relax, they’ll feel right at home here. Our goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Alder and Kathy were very responsive and easy to work with. They sent us plenty of photos and videos of how our dog was doing. Our energetic girl came home happy and seemed to have a great time.

Dallas always loves staying with Alder's family! They take care of him like he's their own- super highly recommended.

Alder & Kathy make leaving my boy so much easier when I have to make arrangements. They are extremely responsive and always provides updates during his stay. They are my go-to sitter as my very shy-guy gets along famously with their dog and warms up to them. They treat him like he’s theirs. Happy to know he’s with them and I love rebooking with them 🫶🏽🐾

Alder and Kathy were great sitters to my Onxy. They kept me updated with pictures and videos and followed my pups feeding and waking schedule. Thank you again!

Dallas always loves staying with Alder and family. Mackie is his best friend, so he never feels like he's missing out on mom when he's with them. Highly recommend.

I am so happy I booked with Alder and Kathy!!!! They took such good care of my senior dog, Miley. From the moment I walked into their home, I knew Miley would be in good hands while I was away. They also sent videos and pics. I will definitely be booking with Alder and Kathy again!

Schedule

My fiance and I work hybrid and our schedules are flexible. When I work at home, I can watch your dog full time, the same way I watch my own dog. We can always discuss what works best!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhouse with my fiance. We have a 5yo Fixed Male Australian Shepherd. He’s sociable and will have lots of energy to play with your dog. We can easily crate them if needed and they also have a safe place to play. We’re nearby a park to take them for walks or play outdoors.

Pets

A typical day

There’s a park near my house where we can go for long walks and outdoor play. We have long leashes so they can play freely but still be safe. If owner allows, we can also take them to a nearby dog park.
