I grew up in a military family, which meant a lot of moving, and a lot of practice loving pets through the anxiety of leaving them behind. Later, jobs that required constant travel deepened that experience that much further. What I figured out over the years was how to find sitters I could truly trust, and what made those relationships work. Now that I'm on the other side of the leash, I pour all of that understanding into every dog (or cat) I host. I work from home and am here most of the day, so your dog is never just waiting around with nothing to do. They're hanging out with me and we're buddies. I keep a strict maximum of 2 dogs at a time. That's not a limitation because I found that's the best balance for my wife and I. Your dog gets real attention from us, not a rotation. We're only one block from a local dog park at Villages at Domain, I have doggy companions on standby for playtime, and walks through North Austin are part of our regular routine. I have a soft spot for rescue and shelter pups, though every dog is welcome here regardless of the breed or size. There's something special about a dog who's finally found their people and I absolutely love being part of that.
