In the past, as certified AARCS fosters, we've opened our home to a diverse bunch of dogs - tiny to giant, young to old, and every breed in between - each with their own unique personalities, health, and training needs.

Anna and Rob we're so great with out doggo! Really attentive and caring. She has some separation anxiety from the pandemic and they made her feel completely at ease! We're so lucky our girl was able to stay with them.

Rob gave me good vibes since the first time I drop Larch with him. I'm sure that my puppy had a good time with Rob & Anna. Rob share some photos and videos during the day. And, he took his time to explain me what they did for playing, and his thoughts about Larch's behave. I recommend them 100%.

Information Anna & Rob J. would like to know about your pet

We appreciate knowing how the dog reacts to other dogs/children, what their recall is for offleash parks, what their leash skills are like, and if they any food sensitivities.

A typical day

There is a fenced off-leash dog park two blocks from our house (if the dog is good off-leash). We love hiking on weekends and/or going for long romantic walks at Sandy Beach dog park. We are also happy to tailor our activities to meet the needs of your pup(s).

Our Schedule: Rob is a full-time work-from-home professional, while Anna enjoys a hybrid schedule, allowing one or both of us to be at home throughout the day, every day. We love to kick off our mornings and wind down our evenings with refreshing walks, and when the weather is nice and the dog is comfortable, we especially enjoy visiting off-leash parks. Your pup will have plenty of company, exercise, and fresh air during their stay with us!
