Availability
I have a very flexible schedule at the moment and am home most of the day. I'll stick to whatever schedule your pet is used to so there won't be any confusion when they return to you. Our neighborhood is pretty large and also has a walking trail, so walks can be as short or long as you'd like. There's a dog friendly space downstairs with plenty of room to run around and play with toys, or if they prefer to chill, there's plenty of pet beds and blankets in the living room.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a very chill and friendly Shiba Inu and Husky/Shepherd mix at home that can keep your dog company. I do have a cat that has their own room and can be separated if your dog doesn't get along with cats. I also have a large crate and two pens available if that's something you're used to doing. Baby gates are set up between each floor, but are usually left open for my dog. There are cameras on each floor so that I can keep an eye on the pets if I'm leaving the home or on a different floor.
Home
Information Calvin & Vanessa C. would like to know about your pet
Health & Medical Needs: Any medications, allergies, or ongoing health concerns? Routine & Preferences: Feeding schedules, Potty Schedules (especially poop schedules), favorite toys, or activities they enjoy? Behavioral Traits: Are they shy, playful, or nervous around strangers? Do they have any quirks or habits I should be aware of? House Rules: Any areas they aren’t allowed, specific care instructions, or routines you’d like me to maintain? I do wipe dogs' feet and butt after taking them outside. Please let me know if your dog doesn't like either area to be touched.
A typical day
There are plenty of dog toys and treat puzzles to keep them entertained. The dogs have free roam of the first and second floors and there are plenty of pet blankets and beds for them. Outside, we'll go for walks around the neighborhood, can go down the walking trail, or go to the dog park. If they're not as active, there's plenty of spaces to be couch potatoes together.

Here for your furry friend!
Pet care experience
I'm excited to have your furry friend over and will give them all the TLC they deserve while sticking to their regular schedules. I've been obsessed with dogs since I was a kid and have taken care of our family dog, Lucky, since he was a puppy up until he passed away due to old age at 17 years. I now have a 6 year old Shiba Inu, Sumi, and a 10 year old cat, Ellie. Sumi was a rescue mill mama and was extremely fearful. With patience and love, she's finally come out of her shell. I've managed to teach both the dog and the cat tricks and work on training with them daily.
Reviews
Calvin and Vanessa were great! This was the first time my pup slept away from home so I was very worried but they not only put my mind at ease but loved on my dog and made her feel at home! Definitely recommend!
Calvin and Vanessa were wonderful caretakers for our dog, Snickers, during our vacation. They sent us pictures of Snickers throughout his time boarding at their home. We would highly recommend Calvin and Vanessa!
Calvin & Vanessa took wonderful care of our boy during his 9-day stay. He came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you!
We had such a wonderful experience with Calvin and Vanessa! They took amazing care of our Shiba for over two weeks, and she got along so well with their two friendly dogs. We really appreciated their quick responses and frequent photo updates — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Before the longer stay, we did a one-night trial, which went well and made us feel confident about leaving our Shiba in their care. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!
