5-Star Care For Your Pup

I’m an experienced and caring dog owner and understand leaving your fur baby can be stressful. Rest assured, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter and send frequent updates via texts and photos. I’ve been an animal lover since I was a child and grew up with multiple dogs of different sizes, demeanors, and energy levels. My dog, Ziggy, loves to make new furry friends, and so do I.

Ruby had a wonderful time staying the night and cuddling with Ziggy. Dale was responsive and flexible. We would absolutely book again.

We appreciated all of Dale’s updates while he watched our dog for us, and his regular communication made us feel so comfortable while on our trip. And, our dog loved the trips he took to the dog park with Ziggy. We would definitely recommend Dale!

Dale was a great sitter for my husky! He gave him puzzles/games and took him to dog park and let him play with his own dog! Dale was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I have access to two dog parks on-site with my apartment building and plenty of safe green space for long walks. The area that I live in is quiet with low traffic.

Pets

A typical day

I love to play fetch, tug of war, hide and seek, and training exercises with dogs. Depending on your dog’s personality, we could also go to a dog park. I have plenty of toys and puzzles to keep them entertained as well. When it comes to walks, I’ll always make sure to tailor the route to the dog’s needs and energy levels. I’ll always prioritize the safety and comfort of the dog while ensuring they have a fun and enriching experience.
