Hello! I am a 32yr old designer who works from home for myself. My husband and I live in a single family home in the Santa Monica area with a large, private, fenced, grassy, back yard. I specialize in doodles! We love them and have lots of experience with their temperaments. We have a very friendly, standard size goldendoodle, Gibson, who loves company and is very well trained. He is only 75 lbs but quite tall and fluffy. He is definitely a gentle giant though, loves to share and loves other dogs- big and small! He could play ball and tug of war all day! Gibson has never bit another dog or showed aggression at all. We require the same of your dog in our home. We are great with puppies but prefer not to have senior dogs. Unless your dog is puppy, please make sure they know the following basic commands- Responds to their name, Come, Sit, Stay, Lay down. I do require a short day care session (at a discounted rate) prior to booking new overnight stays. This way everyone has peace of mind that it is a good fit before leaving for several days. We have found this is best for pups, owners, and sitter. ;) Looking forward to meeting you and your fur child!
