Puppy Pfun

My partner and I have been caring for dogs for over 15 years and love to spend time with all pups of different shapes and sizes. Our home offers tons of space for your pup to play while you're away! Not only can they play inside and in the backyard, our home is in a calm and quiet neighborhood perfect for walks/runs and there's a dog park nearby! We are always looking for new places to take pups, so if you know of one, I'd love to know! Whether your dog likes sleeping in a crate, on the couch, or the bed, we can accommodate! Treats and toys are always a good thing to bring along for them, to make them feel at home. We have experience with dogs of all sizes, shapes, and medical conditions including administering oral medication and caring for dogs with limited mobility. We have 2 miniature dachshunds, so we are used to lots of hilarious and silly behaviors- barking, digging, sneakiness, stubbornness- we've seen/heard it all! As long as your pup gets along with small dogs there is nothing we can't handle. Please note: We do not provide housesitting over the Halloween or the Christmas Holiday. Same day sitting requests typically aren’t able to be accommodated, but you are welcome to check! Please note: As of 7/24/21 we have a 12 year old very friendly miniature dachshund foster.

Francesca is amazing. She made my Sami and Sassy feel at home and they enjoyed going on walks with Benny and Jerry, Francesca two fur babies. I contacted her on a short notice as the one I had lined up went MIA. I was in a panic and Francesca reassured me that all was fine. I dropped them off and she was the sweetest friendliest person ever. Francesca will be used again in the future.

Bluebell was definitely sad to leave. She loved hanging out with Ben, Jerry and other friends! Thanks so much to Francesca and crew for communicating frequently, taking great care of Bluebell and for being extra attentive when her food got weird. Above and beyond!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a completely fenced back yard and a very dog friendly home. In general, our house if pretty quiet with not a ton of visitors. I use dog gates to block off the stairs as needed. Resident dogs are crated when we aren’t home and guest dogs can be separated as needed to ensure safety and comfort.

Pets

A typical day

We both are at home most if not all day so typically there is always someone around. It’s pretty quiet so days would really just be whatever the pup needs. We will do daily walks or weekend trips to hike or the dog park. Otherwise, we can snuggle on the couch!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I need to be aware of. Especially if the they are food/toy aggressive, are destructive when left alone, have any fears, etc. This will help me decide if we are a good fit.
