Your Dog's Family Away from Family

We’re a team of four – mom, dad, teen, and tween – all able to give your pup a temporary family (as well as care, cuddles and attention) when you’re away. We’re new to official dog sitting, but we’re experienced doggie parents and siblings – having raised two dogs from pups to old dudes over the past 17 years. We’re also well trained in pet meds and pet med-administering, specified diets, etc. We’re also happy to accommodate a range of walking and feeding schedules. We’re an ideal fit for a family pet who likes having kids around. Dogs are a big part of our lives, so please tell us about yours. We love hearing about what makes your dog special so we can make sure they feel like they’re at their home away from home.

Claire and Simon took great care of Remy for his week with them. I appreciated all the photos and updates about how he was doing. Remy truly looked like he was part of the family!

Claire and Simon were amazing with Luna! We felt like she was taken care of so well and it looked like it was her second home from how comfortable she was. Claire gave updates and pictures everyday to put our mind at ease that Luna was doing well. We will definitely be using them again with our next trip!
