If Sitting in MY Home What to expect when your pup stays with me: My home is a 'paws-first' environment. I start every stay by slowly introducing your dog to the space so they can sniff around and feel at home. Routine: I stick to your feeding and medication schedule. Safety: My home is dog-proofed, and I never leave pets unattended on balconies or in yards. I always supervise interactions with our golden doodle, Winston. While I do not have a fenced yard, we have a very walkable neighborhood and have a lead in the front yard (with supervision) if your pup prefers roaming time. Comfort: Your pup is welcome on the furniture for snuggles, but I’m happy to enforce "paws on the floor" if that’s what you prefer! They’ll have a dedicated quiet spot for naps and plenty of fresh water at all times. Communication: You'll get daily updates and photos so you can see how much fun we’re having! If Sitting in the YOUR Home How I care for your pet (and your home): I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. My goal is for you to come back to a happy dog and a house that looks exactly how you left it. Personalized Care: I follow your dog's "neighborhood routine"—their favorite walking paths, the specific tree they like to sniff, and their usual 'bedtime' rituals. Home Security: I am extremely diligent about locking doors, arming alarms, and bringing in mail or packages so the house looks occupied and secure. Cleanliness: I believe in 'leave no trace.' I’ll keep the kitchen tidy, handle any pet messes immediately with pet-safe cleaners, and ensure water bowls are scrubbed daily. I follow the “Paw Wipe" Policy: I always wipe paws after rainy walks to keep your floors clean. Communication: You'll get daily updates and photos so you can see how much fun we’re having!
