A home away from home for your dog!

Pet care experience

Hello! We are a family in a quiet neighborhood in Oakley,Ca. We have 2 dogs of our own who are great companions and social with all dogs. We have a German Sheperd Poodle Mix named Hershel, and a yorkie named Bruno who are super dog friendly and love to play. We also have 6 aquariums with Tropical Freshwater fish. Safe to say we LOVE animals and would make your dog feel at home and loved while you are away. I have worked for a local Hotel for many years so I am accustomed to delivering great hospitality and will impliment that in my dog sitting! I bake special fresh doggie treats and we live right by The Big Break Marina for easy walk access for the dogs. We also have a large backyard for the dogs to play in as well. Your dog will also never go unsupervised, my husband works from home so one of us is always home! I insure your dog will enjoy their stay with us and have a fun filled time. We accept all sizes, breeds and special needs! Feel free to contact with any questions and I will get back to you within the hour. Why I love dog sitting My husband and I have both had a passion for animals in general from a young age and have kept many pets such as hamsters, reptiles, etc. Dogs are really our main passion. We love being outdoors with them and learning about all the different breeds. The love we get back from the dogs we sit and the trust our clients have in us is absolutely rewarding. Meet my pets A puppy named Hershel, a Siberian Husky named Ace and 6 aquariums with tropical fish. About my yard We have a very large backyard that is fenced in for the dogs to play in!We usually take our dogs outside to play fetch and run around everyday for several hours. My experience administering medication Yes we are, we have done this several times.

Ariann and Niles are great! They are true dog lovers and really seem to love our dogs. Our dogs always seem eager to go with them. We really appreciate how accommodating they are and are definitely our go- to doggie sitters. Snoopy and Peanut say Hi!

Ariann and Niles are awesome dog sitters! They seem like real dogs lovers. They are personable and accommodating and have booked them as our pup sitters ever since we moved to San Jose. My two pups always seem to be happy to go with them and seem happy when we get them home. I can tell they spoil our dogs. :) I completely trust them to take good care of our pups, especially on extended vacations.

If you want someone that will treat your dog like family this is your dog sitter! Ariann and Niles are absolutely amazing and they love my dog like one of their own.

We never ask anyone else to watch our babies. Ariann and Niles are the best!! We’ve hired them several times and they always exceed expectations, they’re the best!

Information ari d. would like to know about your pet

We don't have any breed preferences. We love all dogs, big and small! Before Sitting we would like to know it's diet and any disablilites, as well as activity level. We usually take 1 hour to 1.5 hour hikes at the Los Gatos Creek trail. If your dog cannot do much physical activity or needs a shorter walk, just let us know and we are more than happy to accomodate! Last, we would like to know how social your dog is! If your pup doesn't play well with others we will not force them to mingle and would give them their own time and space if needed.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We will take your dog on walks around my neighborhood and through the Los Gatos Creek trail to the dog park. The scenery is great and your pup will have a blast sniffing all the new smells! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep in our bedroom :) It helps with any anxiety the dog may have. We want them to feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. Time I'll spend with your dog My husband and I both work but have opposite schedules so your loved ones will NEVER be left unsupervised and will always get the attention they deserve! We take the pups outside in the morning to get some playtime and end up at the Los Gatos Creek Trail for a nice long hike. (unless dog is unable) We always stop halfways for treats, rest and water! The dogs absolutely love and enjoy all the smells and stuff to explore on the trail.
