Hi there! We’re so excited you’re considering us to be your pup’s home-away-from-home while you’re traveling! As proud dog parents to two long-haired dachshunds who are more like kids than pets, we completely understand how stressful it can be to leave your fur-baby with someone new. That’s why we go above and beyond to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and right at home while they’re with us. We have a fenced-in yard for playtime (always supervised!) and a spacious, cozy home for lounging. Both my partner and I work remotely, so we’re home all day and able to give your dog plenty of attention. It’s worth mentioning that our home is generally pretty calm, thanks to our laid-back dachshunds. If your pup has very high energy or requires a more fast-paced environment, we are probably not the best fit—but we’re always happy to chat and see if it could work! We generally only host one dog at a time unless both pups are regulars and we know that they will all get along well - fit and fun are more important to us than crowding our home with bonus dogs to make a few bucks! About Me: I’ve been dog-sitting through Rover and DogVacay for over 15 years, and I absolutely love it. Our dogs enjoy having new friends to play with, and we love building connections with fellow dog lovers. Before booking, I ask new clients to complete a “Getting to Know You” questionnaire and schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone’s a good fit. Our Approach: We typically only take one dog at a time, unless the second is a repeat guest doggo that we know and trust. While we truly love dogs, we’re mindful not to create a zoo-like environment—our focus is on providing a calm and happy experience for your pup. If you’re concerned about other dogs staying with us during your booking, just let me know so we can discuss details and ensure your dog’s comfort and safety. I follow your care routine, whether that’s daily walks, snuggles, or a mix of both! Our typical schedule includes morning sniff breaks, downtime while we work, and afternoon/evening walks or yard time. If your dog needs frequent high-energy play sessions or long adventures, we might not be the best match—but I’m always happy to discuss your dog’s needs in detail. A Home Away From Home: Our house is completely dog-friendly. Pups are welcome (and encouraged!) to hang out on the couch if that’s something they’re allowed to do at home. We keep things tidy and dog-proofed, with plenty of toys and beds available—because your dog deserves to feel as comfortable as they do at home. If you’re looking for a calm, loving environment where your pup can relax, play, and feel at home, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet-and-greet—we can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member!
