Active and WFH near Hiking Trails

Pet care experience

❗️Update❗️We are unable to accept new boarding requests for the foreseeable future and will update our Rover calendar when we have more availability. We have two dogs that we love taking care of and we love that Rover allows us to expand our dog crew to care for other dogs too. Six years ago, we rescued a beagle and then adopted a husky puppy four years ago. We trained both dogs and they are friendly with other dogs. For years, friends have relied on us to walk, feed, and cuddle their dogs. We love all types of dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! My husband and I work from home full time and can let your dog out to potty in our fenced yard whenever needed. We can walk or run your dog at least 3 times per day in the morning, mid-day, and evening. We built our lives around our pets and will care for your pup like they are one of our own. We have a fenced yard and two friendly pups to keep your dog company! We live in a safe neighborhood right next to hiking trails and will happily take your dog hiking on-leash in the woods. We can crate your dog if needed. Dogs are family to us. They are always welcomed onto the furniture for cuddles.

Julia and Matt always take such great care of my dog. He has been with them twice now and I know he’s given so much love, attention and also the exercise he needs. I get regular updates from them and it really helps put my mind at ease while I’m away. I would use them again! They are great.

Fantastic. I highly recommend Matt & Julia - they really treat our Miss Daisy like their own puppr. Lots of photos, great updates & communication, and kind-hearted care for our dog.

Julia & Matt were fantastic. They are responsible and caring. I felt confident that our dog was well cared for and had a great time with his new buddies.

Julia and Matt took such good care of Abby and treated her like their own. They sent us many photos and updates so we knew Abby was having a lot of fun playing and cuddling with Winter & Sadie. We had to extend our booking because of a flight cancellation and they were incredibly flexible and understanding. We are lucky to have found them! Highly recommended to anyone looking for great dog sitters.

Information Julia & Matt S. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your dog has any special needs we should be aware of, such as dietary restrictions, anxieties, and fears. We have worked with puppies, elderly dogs, deaf dogs, separation anxiety, etc., and we are flexible to ensure your dog has a happy, safe stay with us.

A typical day

There is a park with miles of walking trails 100 feet from my house where I would love to walk or run with your dog. So many sniffs in the woods to keep them stimulated! At home, you’ll find us on the floor with the dogs playing games like fetch or tug. Our husky and beagle will join in the fun! They play friendly and listen if another dog does not want to play. We also give tons of cuddles and belly rubs.
