Safety, trust & environment

We have a fully fenced yard. Our dog, Ginger, is a {former} escape artist, so our back yard is very well secured. There is plenty of space for the pups to run, play, and potty. We have lots of space in the dogs to hangout and play. Pups are allowed on furniture and we have multiple dog beds around the house to relax on. We prioritize keeping our home clean and safe, but we have hardwood floors throughout in case of any accidents! Dogs are separated (in crates or by baby gate) when unsupervised in order to ensure that dogs are monitored together at all times.

Information Emily & Pedro V. would like to know about your pet

We ask that all of our stays fill out our Google form questionnaire prior to their stay! This helps us to ensure that we are familiar with all of your pets needs and mannerisms! https://forms.gle/7NseNvArVU4AyfQB8 Additionally, we do ask that you please be honest about your pet as much as possible. If your dog is not potty trained, crate trained, or is in heat, please let us know. We do accept dogs in those circumstances on certain occasions, but cannot always do so. We also recognize that sometimes pets behaviors change when nervous. We request that you please be conscious that we are hosting your pet in our home with our pets and appreciate the courtesy of honesty.

A typical day

To keep the dogs we watch active, we have lots of playtime in the backyard. We practice the training their pawrents are working on. Also, we love to get out peanut butter mats and kong toys to keep the dogs mentally stimulated. Tug toys are a favorite at our house. Sedona especially loves play tug with visiting dogs.

Pet care experience

Anytime our friends or family are headed out of town, we are the go to dog sitters for all of them. Everyone knows their pups are safe at our house and they’re guaranteed to receive tons of pictures and updates on their pup while vacationing. My husband, Pedro, is the other half of your pet care team. Together, we make sure the pup dogs at our house are rarely home alone or crated. My husband and I volunteer as foster pawrents for many dogs. We have been vetted and trusted with foster pups from more than one Dog Rescue. I am a nurse and my husband works in finance. Although we both work full time, my husband and I have flexible schedules and work from home frequently. Because of that, our pups are rarely home alone and almost never home alone for more than 4 hours. Because of our flexibility, if your pup needs to be let out more often we are happy to adjust our schedule accordingly. We have a fully fenced back yard with lots of green space. We have three adult dogs all under 30lbs who do great with other pups. They are accustomed to new dogs visiting frequently because of how often we dogsit and foster. Any dog staying at our house gets lots of excercise and play. Our dogs tend to be lower energy and love to lay on the couch and watch a movie with us. For higher energy visitors, we pull out a tug rope, peanut butter mats, kongs, and tennis balls to make sure no one is bored. For safety purposes, we crate all of the dogs when we are not at home. While the dogs are playing we monitor for signs that dogs may not be getting along or tolerating play well and separate the dogs or give them breaks as necessary.

Emily and Pedro have watched our pup multiple times. They are always so wonderful with communication, send the cutest photos and videos, and treat our boy like a king. I would recommend them over and over again! They are wonderful!

Emily and Pedro. Thank you so much for taking care of my girls while I was away with my grandson. They definitely came home happy and content. I’m so grateful I found you. Leaving the girls with you two I didnt have to worry about how them. Such a wonderful feeling to know they were safe and cared for. Thanks again. Kb

Grady and Margot were in great hands with Emily and Pedro! I’m extremely grateful for the many updates and pictures while we were away. I truly felt our dogs were safe and happy. From introductions to their dogs to pick up I was pleased with the entire process. Will definitely be using their services again!

Emily and Pedro are the best! We really feel good about leaving our dog with them. This time they were also able to drop him back at our house at the end of his stay which was very helpful. They do a great job. We highly recommend them.
