Availability

As a stay-at-home mom of three, I’m available to offer morning, afternoon, and evening drop-in services. I’m also home most of the time to care for our overnight guests. My husband, a fellow animal lover, works from home half the week and is often present as well. We live with our three kids, ages 10, 9, and 7, who are just as excited to welcome your furry family member!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide an extra-large, fully fenced backyard to ensure your dog’s safety and comfort. Your pup will have unlimited access to our home (and couches!), which they’ll share with our two elderly dogs and cat. If you prefer, I can crate your dog when I leave. I also have gates to separate your pet from ours, in the rare instance that no one is home. As a walking and drop-in provider, I will ensure your pet is always leashed and secured. I will promptly pick up and dispose of their waste, provide constant access to fresh water, and feed them according to their specific needs. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities!

Information Cerita & Saeid A. would like to know about your pet

I have years of experience with geriatric dogs. We have owned dogs in heart failure, kidney failure, and diabetes, which required twice daily insulin injections. I set alarms and calendar updates for medication’s.

A typical day

I am available for frequent walks. We have a large, fully fenced backyard that allows for plenty of space to explore and play fetch. The kids enjoy throwing the ball for all of the fetch enthusiasts.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets! I’ve fostered countless dogs and cats through rescue work and have 3 of my own—2 dogs and a cat who made her way here all the way over from Kuwait of all places. Your pet will get a safe and secure, fully fenced, large backyard to play in with someone who is always present. My 3 animal-obsessed kids are eager shower your fur babies with endless love, snuggles, and playtime. Whether it’s a belly rub on the couch, a game of fetch in the yard, or a cozy nap, your pet will truly feel like part of our family. Our experience fostering animals with past trauma has taught us the importance of honoring each pet’s boundaries, respecting their unique physical and emotional needs, and creating a safe and nurturing environment. This is a labor of love! Involving the kids teaches them responsibility and small business skills. Proceeds are split evenly, with 80% going to their savings and 20% for spending after covering expenses like treats and supplies. A little financial motivation is a great way to sharpen their math skills! We’d be honored to care for your furry family member and look forward to meeting you soon! 🐾

Cerita & Saeid were wonderful with our pet! They were kind, reliable, and took great care of them for a few hours. We'd happily book with them again.
