Doggy's Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

As a pet owner myself, I know firsthand how important it is to find a trustworthy and reliable person to watch over our fur babies. My priority is to keep your pup comfortable, happy and safe. I absolutely love dogs and will take care of your dog like my own. I've also trained my pup to be a AKC Canine Good Citizen, so I'm happy to help reinforce your existing training program. As a pet parent, I truly recognize the importance of ongoing communication both for peace of mind and because we will miss them oh so much! Pet parents will receive regular updates throughout your stay and any cute photos that I may capture. You can also follow us along on Instagram (@phoebesfables)

Christine and Vincent were the best! Super frequent updates on our fur baby and they made our separation anxiety at ease — they really took care of our little one (he was a puppy). Phoebe was so gentle with him and it helped him with his separation anxiety. Highly, highly recommend! We will be using them again, too!

It is hard to put into words how much we appreciate the job that Christine and Vincent did in taking care of our dog. They are obviously

I'm so grateful for Christine and Vincent's wonderful care for Tenzin. Also the clear communication and updates on Tenzin throughout his stay help ease the nervousness of leaving him. I highly recommend them and will work with them again. Oh and their dog, Phoebe is the sweetest.

Safety, trust & environment

As a fellow dog owner, my apartment will be kept dog-friendly and has been a doggy playground for puppy playdates. I am currently a dog parent to my 2-year old pup, Phoebe, who has never met a human or dog that she didn't absolutely love. She is very friendly and does a great job at keeping pups company (or give space as needed). We can also crate your dog, if needed, but we are fine with dogs lounging on our couch in the living room to make your dog feel at home. We only board one dog at a time and pets are always fed separately to avoid any issues with resource guarding. We also live in a dog-friendly neighborhood and are able to take them on as many walks as needed.

Information Christine & Vincent Y. would like to know about your pet

- Any allergies - Any dietary restrictions (for treats) - How your dog interacts with other dogs (For boarding and daycare, I have a dog, Phoebe, and we will need to assess during the meet & greet whether our pets get along) - Any triggers (for reactivity) that I should be aware of (e.g., other dogs, bikes) - If your dog has separation anxiety - Please update your dog's profile with as much detail as possible, including feeding / potty schedule, emergency contacts, etc. - let us know if you would prefer for your pup not to be on Instagram Please note that Doggy Day Care Rate is per day, with drop-offs as early as 8 AM and pick-ups by 6 PM. For Daycare - if your drop off or pickup time is beyond 8 AM - 6 PM, you will be charged an additional fee to cover the cost of extended care. Daycare pickups after 8 PM will be charged at the boarding rate. A meet and greet is required for new clients to ensure that we are the right fit. I will bring my pup for meet and greets for daycare and boarding to confirm that our pups get along. My priority is the safety and comfort of your pup and mine.

A typical day

I would take care of your dog like my own. We will go on walks so that they can sniff all the smells in the neighborhood. We will also play in my living room, which has many toys for your dog to enjoy. I will also take them outside for potty breaks as needed, but also have indoor potty pads if you would prefer. If the weather permits and pending owner approval, we may take the pups to the trails on Forest Park for an enrichment hike / walk.
