Your small dog's second home 🏡 💕

Pet care experience

❤ I work from home, so your dog is never alone. ❤ My partner and I are dog lovers and doting parents to a small rescue pup with separation anxiety (and lots of nervous quirks), so we know what it’s like to search for the right people to keep him safe and happy while we’re away! That’s why we're offering our quiet, safe, and cozy home for your small doggo (max 25lbs) to hang out with us and our small dog (Billy) while you’re at work, away on vacation, or just need some time for yourself. Is your small dog... 👍 Good with (or uninterested in) other dogs? 👍 Over 1.5 years old? 👍 Low to medium energy? 👍 Spade or neutered? 👍 Not an English bulldog or French bulldog (Sorry - Billy just doesn't get along with these breeds 😔)? 👍 A maximum of 25 lbs? Yes? Then we're a GREAT fit. On the other hand, if your dog is regularly reactive to other dogs (lunging/barking/fighting), we're unfortunately not a good fit. When you leave your small dog with us, your little furbaby will be loved and cared for as part of our family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog will have 24/7 care (we will never leave your dog alone - my partner or I will always be home). I can accommodate your dog's needs as they emerge during the day - potty walks every two to four hours; cuddles, attention, and play; LOTS of downtime and naps, and a safe, comfortable space for your dog to relax and feel at home. As an owner of a quirky rescue dog, I have lots of experience managing nervousness and shyness using positive-only reinforcement and reading doggy behavioural cues. I'm very attentive when it comes to making sure your dog happily consents to pets, playing, and contact with our family. If your dog needs time to warm up to new people, no problem. We'll put the time in and give your dog what they need to build trust with us. Every dog is different, and we love to learn about their funny little personalities and meet their unique needs. 🐶 About Billy 🐶 With most dogs, Billy either minds his own business, gives them lots of space, or just wants to play! Billy is very respectful of other dogs who don't want to play and he gives up easily if they're not into his shinnanegans. For the most part, Billy actually likes his space and he snoozes most of the day, so we're always excited to have another dog around that we can give our love to!

I would absolutely recommend Amy and Caleb! It is so apparent that they are caring, responsible and truly love dogs. Daily updates were very much appreciated. Thank you for everything Amy and Caleb! I know my dog Olive felt right at home, and I hope she gets to spend more time with you in the future.

They sincerely care about the animals they’re sitting. Great communication to boot.

My pup is always so well looked after when she’s with Amy and Caleb. She pulls on her leash to get to them when we arrive, that’s a real testament to how much she loves it! .

Amy and Caleb are absolutely stellar caregivers for my small dog Orla Bean. They lavish her with attention, walks, care, and treats. She gets a chance to play with their dog Billy and I can go away content that Orla is in safe hands.

For overnight stays, your dog can sleep in our king-sized bed with us or on a dog bed closeby - wherever they feel most safe and comfortable! Your pup is welcome to choose from one of our many comfy dog beds (in every room), human beds, or couches at any time. Every room has fresh water for your dog to hydrate and several jars of tiny, delicious (owner-approved) treats always within my reach 😆 We can't wait to meet your pup! Please reach out to set up a meet & greet with me and my dog Billy, so we can see if we're good fit. We'll have our first meet & greet in a neutral, open space that you and I can choose together.

⏰ A typical schedule in our home ⏰ A typical schedule in our house includes a 20-45 min walk between 8am and 11am, plus short sniffy walks around the neighbourhood every two to four hours after that (including one right before bedtime). The rest of the time, your pup will relax with me and Billy in my office while I work, but I take lots of work breaks to cuddle, play, and give attention to your dog when they need it 🥰 Sometimes we'll go on a car ride to one of our favourite parks or trails for a walk, especially if your doggo has extra beans to get out.
