Taking care of your pups as our own
Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and wouldn’t have it any other way. My spouse and I absolutely love animals and taking care of furry pets that need a place to stay. We have two dogs of our own, Meringue (8 pounds, a Coton) and Moose (12 pounds, a Pekingese mix) We have taken care of dogs for friends, families, and have also fostered dogs. We believe and understand that dogs are family members and trusting them with others is a big decision. We treat our boarding experience the way we would like to receive it for our pups. We do this by providing consistent communication and updates to you (how are they’re acclimating, eating/drinking, playful, on their potty schedules, etc) and being responsive to questions. The ideal boarding situation would keeping your pups normal routines in place, just in a different setting so it doesn’t throw off their schedules completely. We strive for consistency for your furry family members in a happy, safe, and vacation like setting for them. *Note - we are accepting small to medium dogs only at this time. Max 30 pounds.
Reviews
I had a wonderful experience with Davis and Bryan who boarded Daisy for a few days. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, which made me feel reassured and happy. They also took great care of her, providing her with food, water, exercise and lots of affection. Daisy seemed very comfortable and relaxed with them. I am very grateful for their service and professionalism. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a reliable and caring dog sitting. I look forward to booking them again in future.
We felt so comfortable having our two dogs stay with David and Bryan for a long weekend. They were good about asking questions about our dogs to understand their needs and personalities. We will be using them again!
David and Bryan and are the absolute best! I can’t say enough about the care our furbaby received. To list a few things that set them apart were; 1. They only take a couple of small dogs at a time. 2. Their home is very clean and well kept. Very sanitary! 3. My dog was allowed the same privileges like sitting and sleeping on the couch and bed as well as sunbathing on the deck. 4. Detailed updates every morning about his prior day. 5. They used great judgement when my dog wasn’t eating his food. Overall, our dog came home very relaxed after 6 days which says a lot. He usually needs a day or two to sleep off his stress. Let’s just say, if you treat your dog like one of your own children, you definitely want their services. Bottom line, they are just great people that you and your dog will feel at ease the moment you meet them.
Excellent, very attentive dog sitters. We received daily updates and photos so we could tell our puppy was well cared for and having fun. Would highly recommend and will definitely use as our sitter in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
We take safety very seriously. We will not walk more than 2-3 dogs at a time. We have puppy gates and areas for them that are safe and can provide them room to roam and play. When they are outside we keep them on leash and have a watchful eye to ensure their safety.
Home
Information David & Bryan S. would like to know about your pet
Our dogs are very friendly and good around other small to medium size dogs. We ask that you let us know if your dog has any quirks (ex: scared of big dogs, needs their own space/alone time, likes to sleep in a covered space, etc. We also would love to know what habits you don’t allow your dogs to do. For example, not allowed to sleep in bed. Can only be in the crate at night, etc.
A typical day
Depending on time of day and weather, we’ll usually let the dogs out on our gated wrap around balcony to run around and get fresh air. We always go on multiple walks a day to ensure they get their exercise and potty breaks in.
