About Us We love pets and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. We work together as a team to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to your pet's needs. Growing up with dogs, we've had two of our own as adults. One of them, Barney, has special needs — he was rescued from Slaughterhouse Survivors. He's a distemper survivor with issues in his hind legs and experiences seizures. He is very calm, chill, and nonchalant about other dogs. Because of him, we have ample experience working with dogs who need extra care. We are experienced in walking, feeding, bathing, grooming, and playing with dogs of all kinds. We're both athletic and love running, so if your dog needs to burn some energy, we're happy to help! While we specialize in working with anxious, unsocial, or special-needs dogs, we welcome all temperaments and personalities — from shy couch potatoes to energetic social butterflies. Our calm, structured environment benefits every type of pup, and we tailor our care to fit your dog's unique needs and routines. Whether your dog thrives on routine or just needs a cozy home away from home, we're here to provide safe, reliable, and loving care. Our Approach: Personalized Care for a Close-Knit Community We intentionally keep our client circle small so we can truly get to know your pet — their quirks, routines, favorite spots on the couch, and the little things that make them feel at home. By focusing on a smaller pool of consistent, repeat clients, we're able to offer more individualized attention, better continuity of care, and a familiar, trusted face your pet will come to know and love. Notable Dog Experience Separation Anxiety Tendy is a COVID dog with severe separation anxiety. His parents shared that he would stop eating, cry constantly, and was prone to running away. Since October 2023, we've worked with him on daily walks to help him adjust to time away from his parents. In April 2024, we successfully completed a week of house-sitting with no issues, and we've continued working with him ever since. Senior Dog Care Toto is a 14-year-old Samoyed who can hardly walk a block but still loves his strolls. In spring 2023, while his family was on a week-and-a-half vacation, we had the pleasure of caring for him — assisting with walks and meals, providing high-nutrition treats, and brushing his beautiful white coat. Dante is another senior dog with luxating patella. He has trouble walking, needs help with stairs, and requires medication for pain management. He also suffers from urinary incontinence and needs his bladder expressed — a task we've handled while caring for him during a family wedding, and he's been a repeat client year after year. Long, Won, and Lacy are three senior dogs (18, 9, and 14 years old) in one household, each with different needs based on their personalities and disabilities. We care for them by being detail-oriented about each one's preferences — for example, Long is a slow eater and needs extra time. They've been consistent clients every year. Medication Needs Bijan, a rescue from South Korea, suffers from severe seizures and requires four different medications twice daily. We cared for him during the 2023 holidays and he's been a repeat client ever since. Anxious and Unsocial Dogs Maki is a rescue from South Korea with extreme anxiety — she's even afraid to eat from a bowl, so we scatter her kibble on the floor. She's fearful of most objects and outdoor walks. We've been working on gradual exposure therapy, and so far it's been very effective. Reactive Dogs Beau, a rescue pitbull found tied to a dumpster in California, has reactive tendencies toward other dogs. While we're not personal dog trainers, we helped reinforce his training during our walks. Ara is another rescue pitbull displaced during a recent major flood. Like Beau, she has reactive tendencies with other dogs but is sweet with humans. Multiple Dogs Luke (Husky/Malamute), Leah (Labradoodle), and Keiko (German Shepherd) are siblings we love walking. They're energetic, playful, and well-behaved — an absolute pleasure to care for. Dogs with Anxious Parents If this is you, don't worry — we totally get it. We feel the same way about our own dog and only want the best for our fur baby too. You're in the right place. We've worked with many detail-oriented families and do our best to meet the high expectations they place in us. Our intake process is thorough, making sure we capture all the important things you do for your loved one — and we carry that care into everything we do. If anything is unclear or worth discussing, we'll always reach out. Best of all, we're in this because we genuinely love animals, and we're committed to providing a safe, loving, and enjoyable environment for your pet so you can have peace of mind while you're away. We are members of, and insured by, the Pet Sitters Association.
