Safety, trust & environment

In my home, your pet will enjoy a warm, welcoming environment with plenty of love and attention. I have a friendly French Bulldog who gets along well with other pets, providing companionship for your fur baby during their stay. If your pet prefers their own space or needs crate training, I also have a crate available for them to use, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable. I offer a balance of freedom and structure, allowing pets to roam freely, play in the backyard, or relax in a quiet area if needed. Whether they need companionship or privacy, I tailor the care to suit your pet’s individual preferences and comfort level.

Information Calvin Z. would like to know about your pet

It's important to know a bit about the pets ahead of time to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. For example, I have a playful French Bulldog who loves to interact and play, so it’s key that the pets I watch get along well with other dogs. Understanding their personalities, habits, and any special care needs helps me provide the best experience for everyone involved!

A typical day

A typical day with the pets starts with a walk, followed by a game of fetch to burn off some energy. I keep them mentally stimulated with puzzle toys and treat hunts. Between play sessions, we enjoy snuggling and relaxation time. In the evening, another short walk winds things down, and we finish the day with some cozy time together. It’s a mix of fun, exercise, and love!

Pet care experience

Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my bed and furniture during their stay, ensuring they feel at home and comfortable. They enjoy daily walks, allowing them to explore the neighborhood and stay active. With a spacious backyard to run and play in, your dog will have plenty of room to burn off energy and enjoy their time here. I provide a relaxed and loving environment, so your dog can feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you're away.

Calvin was great with Floyd and helped him feel at home during his stay. Calvin was also great with providing updates, and Floyd looked like he was having a blast in the photos. I would definitely book again with Calvin in the future!

Calvin has taken my very energetic 5 month old puppy for a few half hour walks while my husband and I are at work. Calvin always makes sure to update us and send cute pics of their walk!

Calvin is great in reponding to my booking reservation request, sharing photos of my dogs regularly, and being flexible in terms of dropping off and picking up times. My dog enjoyed his stay with Calvin and his dog.
