Love, Growth, Respect and Freedom

Pet care experience

[Missy was the furry one in our little family. She passed away a couple of months ago so taking care of your friends might help us cope with her loss. More than ever, we will treat your furry friends like part of the family and we'll make sure that they feel like home because we understand now what it really feels to miss someone so much.] Although we miss her painfully, we are very proud of what she’s taught us and think it would be good to share, the 4 ingredients: love, growth, respect and freedom. All four of them are essential in order to have a loving, fulfilling and sane relationship with animals (or anyone, really). This is our key to constant, positive energy, happiness and fulfillment. The Home we created, the three of us, was based on this four "ingredients" that worked better than we would have ever expected. This is what we know, how we work and this is what we want to share with the furry one(s) in your family. WHO WILL BE TAKING CARE OF YOUR PET | Carla and Jose, both full time. We are animal lovers (I guess everyone in here is, too) and have grown up with animals around for our whole lives: dogs, cats, rabbits and birds. There is a four-year old in the house and also a 4 months old kitty. Although we could keep them separated from Kenechi, it’s a MUST that they get along with children. CONTACT | Updates will be provided with the frequency you choose, photos & videos. We will ask for an emergency contact so that we have someone to get in touch with in case we could not contact you. FOOD | Due to the safety of your pet's health, we need you to bring their food on their stays. Every dog needs the best food for their needs and we cannot provide that to every one of them. It's important that you let us know any allergies or specific requirements for their health. STAY OVER | We have a patio in the house. Dogs will sleep inside. We won't keep any dog in a crate. If this is a must for you, we are not your match.

Carla was the perfect dog sitter. She took care of our whippet, Ian for a few nights in October and we couldn't have asked for a better host. Carla sent us updates on how Ian was doing with photos of their walks and playtime. He can be nervous and skittish and was cared after wonderfully. We wouldn't hesitate to book again, and Ian very much agrees! 10/10 Thank you very much Carla. x

Are they taking medication? Do they have any allergies? Are they NOT neutered? Is there anything they love/can't stand? (Food, toys, activities...)

A typical day

WALKS | We usually take them to the fields near our house where they can play with other dogs and/or by themselves. Depending on your pet's needs we will adapt the frequency of the walks, the duration and activities. We are also interested in training (games, cuddles & food rewards) although we are still on the process of learning. ** Do they play with other dogs? Would they rather play alone? Do they like long, energy-consuming walks?
