Two humans who LOVE helping dogs!
Pet care experience
Angela is a life long animal lover turned professional in 2010 with loads of animal husbandry, training, and rescue experience. She has worked in a high admissions shelter as well as a small senior dog rescue. Administering medications, providing enrichment, games and extras snuggles are all things that she can provide while watching your pets. Angela also has years of experience with small animals and exotics. Joshua has 5 years of pet sitting under his belt and many more caring for his own family animals. He enjoys finding new activities for the dogs and discovering ways to help accommodate different dogs' needs. Joshua will always keep an eye on your pup and make sure that they have everything they need while you are away. Angela has her dog training certification through Animal Behavior College and also trained non-releasable California Sea Lions for 3 years in College. She loves to bring out the best in pets through positive reinforcement and lots of playtime!
Reviews
Our dog loves her vacations with Joshua and Angela. They take such good care of her and we never have to worry while we are away!!
Our dog stayed for 6 days and 5 nights. Stay has been great and no issues. No safety and no health concerns during the stay. Very pleased overall and will certainly rebook.
Very friendly, communicated wonderfully and clearly with me, and sent plenty of pictures and updates which I loved. Angela was just a lovely person who I absolutely will use again.
My pup had a great time here, and I could tell that she was in great hands. Angela was so helpful and professional with everything. Will definitely return!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
With 3 dogs of our own we know how to handle multiple dogs at the same time while monitoring behavior and keeping the peace in the pack. We have a fenced in yard with lots of space to provide playtime, sunbathing, and exploring! We always make sure that each guardian gets ample “proof of life” photos/videos and provide them with peace of mind knowing that their pets are well cared for. Our home is filled with lots of dog toys to choose ranging from beanie babies and stuffed toys, to tough/indestructible big pup toys.
Home
Information Angela & Joshua P. would like to know about your pet
We require that dogs are fully house trained, but do understand if a dog has an accident adjusting to a new place. They must be friendly with other dogs of all sizes with little to no resource guarding issues when it comes to food and toys. Due to our schedule we are not able to walk dogs in our care. If you’re dog is high energy and/or requires walks on a regular basis our home my not be the best option.
A typical day
Toys are a plenty in our home. With a large yard and dog door (for smaller pups) there is lots of room for activities. Snuggling on the couch is also important and there is enough room for multiple pups to join in on the cuddle puddle. If the weather permits, our guests have open access to our backyard for sun bathing, sniffing around, potty breaks, or play time! Your pup will have plenty of comfy spots to choose from, with multiple crib mattresses turned dog beds, daybed with trundle, couches, and our king size bed, so there is always a spot available for a quick nap.

We are not able to give dogs walks but instead utilize our spacious backyard for lots of zoomies, chase, catch, and sun bathing!
