Specialized in under 25 lbs 🐶

Pet care experience

Experienced, Mature, Reliable, Settled adults happiest at home with the pack. 🐾 We were quarantined before quarantine was cool. 😎 This is our only job. We are professionals gained from years of experience taking guests into our home. We are a married couple working from our apartment in Palms. All dogs have human and K9 companionship continuously. We are mature adults who maintain a calm, low-energy household. We have 2 small rescues Lilly & Leo both experienced at welcoming new members and old friends. From experience, smaller works better for us. We only accept guests up to 25 lbs. We have had dogs in our lives all our lives. Caring for dogs makes us better people. Patience learned in loving animals makes us happy. :) We walk our pack 4x daily for exercise & potty possibilities. Pack led exercise leaves the most anxious more relaxed. We dial back walks for any that require less activity. We have hosted many with special needs and adjust ourselves accordingly. Dogs are pack animals. Walking in a pack over time brings us into harmony. The pack moves together. This is physical and mental exercise for all involved, ourselves in particular. Dogs are teachers of consideration. ;) When a new guest arrives, we first go for a walk 1 on 1. This begins our bond and helps release angst your pup may be feeling. Then it’s into our home for introductions. Easy peasy.🤙 Our focus is to board only a few guests @ a time thereby optimizing attention to your pets needs. WE OFFER DAY CARE, a 12 hr time window. WE OFFER BOARDING (overnight stays), a 24 hr time window. **We are not strict on drop off & pick up times, but Please Be Considerate to time frame of your pets stay. An extra hr ok, but beyond we must charge more according to time spent over the 12 & 24 hr time periods. Our hours 7am - 9pm **IMPORTANT NOTE - as Rover specifies a medium breed as 16 - 40 lbs, we can accept only up to 25 lbs. We enjoy updating you with photos & videos. :) Note 100% of clients receive photo updates & see our client update photo stream via our photo album. Woof! Woof! (Thank you ;) Tim & Andrea 🐾 * * additional background... My wife Andrea and I moved from NYC to Palms LA in 2010. We have been walking dogs in this same neighborhood since, and we’ve been taking guests into our home for a number of years. We have seen LOTS! We live in a very dog friendly building of which the manager is a dear friend. We do not have free range outdoor spaces for dogs to roam off leash. All guests walk as a pack member on a leash at least 4 x a day. Pack mentality, go with the flow, is what I consider pack mentality. Our flow is smooth. Our walks are peaceful and are within our immediate neighborhood. We do not visit dog parks. If anything bad were to happen with a group of unfamiliar dogs off leash, we’d be sick over it. So it’s leashed walks close to home. We have been told on more than one occasion that guests have gone home a little easier to handle on leash. I attribute this to what I’ve observed over years, like a flock of birds or a school of fish, dogs instinctively want to follow. A pack leader shows the way. I’m not a dog whisperer by any means, but I do have a natural disposition suitable for caring and leading dogs. Practicing and learning more always. Patience is a virtue. I (Tim) have taken a lesson personally from Cesar Millan (see photo album). The elephant in the room, the Tattoo on Tim’s head. Yes, it is a tattoo. It is something unexplainable unless you believe in destiny. Firstly, it came to me in a dream. Second, upon completion of my head tattoo I met my wife. The rest is history. That was in 2007. The tattoo has challenged me to be a better man. My face is a welcome sign. You are welcome to react as you will. My peace is understanding. We understand being away from our loved ones. We know it helps to show all is well with photos and videos. We enjoy updating. Being creative and thoughtful while doing so inspires the artists in us. We are grateful to have this business and that you read this far, Thank you. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your dog(s) :-) Tim 🐾

Tim and Andrea take great care of Marty and treat him like one of their own! I hate leaving him behind when I travel, but knowing he is safe with them makes it a little easier.

My dog Bonnie had a good day with Andrea and Tim. They sent pictures and videos of her throughout the day. She came home happy and tired. We’ll be back!
