Dog loving family, home all day!
Pet care experience
Our family of four can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend. We are a family of dog lovers: mom, dad, and two daughters ages 11 and 15. We will treat your dog like part of our family while you're away! We can only accept dogs who have experience with cats. Your dog will be the only dog in our home, and will have the run of our house, just as if s/he were our own family pet. (The only exception would be a dog who is behaving aggressively toward our cats and needs to be separated from them, having many indoor accidents, etc.) We work from home, so your doggo will have company all day. While we don’t have a yard, there are many parks within a few blocks of our house, so there are plenty of places to play or stroll in the sunshine. Out of respect for our senior cats, we are only able to host dogs who have spent time in a home with a cat before and are known to be good with cats. Sorry, we are not able to board dogs who go *only* on pee pads. Also, our homeowners' insurance prohibits us from accepting these breeds: akitas, chows, pit bulls, presa canarios, rottweilers, sharpeis, Staffordshire terriers, American bulldogs, or wolf hybrids (sorry -- we know there are lovely dogs of all those breeds!).

About Dorian & Marshall S.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a three-story house -- lots of stairs! For senior dogs or those with mobility challenges, we are happy to carry small dogs up and down as needed. The stairs have carpet so they're not slippery. Our home may not be the right fit for a large dog who has trouble with stairs. Both parents grew up with dogs, and Dorian has over a decade of experience volunteering in animal shelters.
Home
Information Dorian & Marshall S. would like to know about your pet
We’ll want to know how your dog is with cats and kids, how often your dog is accustomed to going out, what treats are ok, and your dog‘s favorite toys and activities.
A typical day
We enjoy taking dogs for walks around our friendly neighborhood and exploring parks around the region. We love dogs who like to snuggle (though if yours isn’t a snuggler, that’s OK, too)! Our kids love it when a dog chooses to sleep with them at night. We have fun playing games with playful dog guests, and just hanging out with mellower ones.
Services
Dorian & Marshall can host
Availability
We try to match the walk schedule your dog is accustomed to at home as best we can -- and often throw in an extra walk or two, or bring a dog with us when our kids go out to roller skate etc. We'll want to know your dog's routine -- what and when they usually eat, where they usually sleep, any allergies or medications, etc. We'll follow your guidelines about table food or not, crate or not, etc.
