Your dog will feel "at home".

Pet care experience

If your dog enjoys being around people (including two young children) then this is the home for your pup to stay in while his/her family is away. We are a fun-loving young family who adores dogs and loves to spend time with them in and outdoors. We have one friendly cockapoo who loves to share his toys with other dogs who are friendly.Lots of attention, cuddling and love. Walks outdoors and lots of playtime. I do work for 6 hours a day outside the home, so if your dog is ok "napping" for that long, then it will work just fine! Weekends I am home. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog-lover all of my life! From my first childhood dog at age four to now! I have a real "soft spot" for dogs and cats and animals of all kinds! About my yard We have a large unfenced yard. Dogs go out on leashes. Also happy to take them for hikes in the woods or walks in the neighborhood.

Hope was wonderful and we plan on using her again whenever we go away. She kept us posted and texted photos which made us feel so very comfortable leaving our new puppy in her care. I would highly recommend her!

Hope was great. She sent me so many pictures of Scooby's stay. She was was able to accommodate my very difficult schedule, and took great care of Scooby!

Hope and her family are the next best "family" for my dog Kira, when we are out of town. I know she will love her as we do, take her for walks, give her special attention! Hope has the most loving and kind, caring personality which shines through and is felt by all the dogs she takes care of! Our dog Kira loves her kids too!!!

Does he/ she like kids ? Other dogs/ animals? Anything that scares them? And of course, their daily habits and routines.

A typical day

Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever they set comfortable-some guests sleep in crates if that's what they do at home or they can sleep on their doggie beds either in our family room, kitchen or even bedroom. The only place I don't allow them to sleep is on my bed! Time I'll spend with your dog M-Friday I work outside the home for 6 hours. Weekends I am home to care for dogs (with an occasional short errand run.) If this arrangement works for your dog, then he/she will be happy at our home!
