Pet care experience

My doodle is looking for a friend!

I've had dogs for all my adult life, plus we always had dogs and cats growing up. My first dog crossed over last fall, so I have experience with old dog care. My current dog is a very friendly 3 year old doodle who is always ready to make a new friend.

My dog was very happy and well behaved when she came home. I could tell David and his dog did a great job taking care of her. David was responsible and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!

David was great! He was open to meeting ahead of booking to make sure our pets’ personalities meshed. Throughout the stay he was very communicative and sent updates, and flexible around drop off and pickup. I’d definitely book again! 👏

Took very good care of dax, kept us informed. His dog was a great companion to dax. Was flexible when our timeline changed during the day. A great sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced backyard along with one very friendly 3 year old dog and one older cat (who can hide in the basement when over stimulated). I'm half a block from a dog friendly park and we take lots of neighborhood walks during the day.

Pets

A typical day

Besides a backyard, we'll go on several walks in the neighborhood each day, plus walks in my local forested park. Plus, there will be lots of time to hang out with my dog!

Since I share my house with my own dog and cat, any pet needs to be generally friendly. I typically vibe best with herding dogs and herding dog mixes, but that isn't a requirement on my end!
