Let our dog help keep your dog happy while you're away! We are a family of three with one dog, both about 7 years old. He loves meeting new friends and playing with other dogs. We have a large backyard (for the city) with a 6 foot privacy fence, clear spaces to run and play, and plenty of shade for napping in the fresh air. We have had dogs since we were small children and so know how to cater to your dog's needs, be it play time, love, or just a comfortable place to cuddle. We both work full-time during the week, so for non-weekend days, we ask that for your dog's safety and comfort you bring a kennel and any bedding he/she typically sleeps on. We can host 2 small/medium sized dogs, but only one large sized dog. PS- If you've previously stayed with us at a lower rate, that is the rate we'll use for any future stays Why I love dog sitting Joseph has been around dogs almost his entire life, helping his parents raise several doberman pinschers from puppies while growing up. Marguerite has owned dogs off and on for the past 15 years. Currently we share our home with a rescue pup, Homer. He is a pure-bred mutt we adopted 4 years ago who absolutely loves doggy-play dates and will provide hours of excitement and fun for your pup. About my yard Approximately 3500 sq ft fenced and gated back yard. VERY secure 6' tall fence. Flat yard, but steps to get down to it. We have several shady trees and a garden. My experience administering medication Oral and topical medications. Sorry, we will not trim toenails or otherwise groom your dog, unless they get dirty in our backyard.
