Safety, trust & environment

We have a huge, secure, fenced backyard and two dogs of our own. Your pup will be well exercised here and will come home exhausted (and maybe a little dirty). We also love cuddling with our fur babies, and will welcome any (reasonably sized) dogs onto our bed if that is where they feel comfortable, or we have room for a crate or any dog bed you want to bring. We feed our pooches 3x a day. But we find that most guests have a 2x per day routine, and will continue to hold your home routine. We also give oral medication to one of our pups, once a day.

Information Cynthia & Nikolas D. would like to know about your pet

Please share any special needs your fur baby may have and I will do my best to accommodate. If your dog is on a special diet, please clearly communicate how I can nourish them.

A typical day

With a huge backyard and a dog park down the block, we have plenty of play opportunities. I love going on walks, throwing a ball just as much as love snuggling on a couch.

Pets

Fur babies are our soft spot

Pet care experience

Since being on my own, I have had some fur baby in my life. Both puppies and elders will be well loved here. We have a deep relationship with our own animals. All are fully vaccinated and attend their annual health checks. We also love on them when they ask us to, meeting their mental health needs as well.

Cynthia, Nikolas & fam are our go-to for Mae now ☺️ between a medical emergency our dog had that they handled so well, their whole family loving on her, and their general flexibility when we don’t have exact pickup times sometimes until day of (we do a lot of road trips) we are so glad we found them!

Thanks for taking good care of my pup! Cynthia and Nikolas responded quickly anytime I checked in and were flexible when my flight back into town got delayed.
