Full-time WFH & Personalized Care

Hi! I work from home full time, which means your pup will get plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I share my studio with my 11 year old Doberman mix, who is a sweet senior guy that spends most of his time napping and relaxing. Because of his age, he does best with low to moderate energy dogs who are comfortable giving him space to nap when needed. When I have a pup staying with me, I make sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment tailored to their energy level. I have access to two nearby dog parks, along with great walking routes in the neighborhood. If your dog enjoys relaxing outdoors, I also have a large patio where they can safely lounge and soak up some fresh air.

Craila was awesome! She was patient and flexible with watching my dog during my two week vacation. She sent photos everyday and updates. 10/10 communication. I’d use her again. I’m

Craila really came through for me and gigi with a last minute booking due to our normal sitter being unavailable. I can tell that gigi had an easygoing and fun stay with Craila. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the near future!

Craila is our go to dog watcher. We have a high energy dog and he is definitely tired out and content after his vacations with Craila. She does a great job watching him and keeps us updated on how he’s doing which puts us at ease!

Schedule

I’m able to provide consistent supervision and companionship through out the day and evening. I guarantee a minimum of 3 walks daily, including morning, midday, and evening. I can also accommodate additional walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and any other routine care needs to help you’re pet stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning outing, often a visit to one of our nearby dogs parks, followed by breakfast and any medications your pet may need. Around midday, we’ll head out for a neighborhood walk and fresh air before settling back in for naps or playtime. In the evening, we’ll enjoy another walk to unwind and then a bathroom break before bed.

How does your pup handle being left alone if I need to run a quick errand? Do they have any allergies or medical conditions I should know about? How is their recall and are there any commands they know?
