Home Away From Home Dog Sitting

Pet care experience

Your Dogs Home Away From Home! ALL breed Professional Dog Sitting and Training since 2001. Licensed and Insured since 2001. Owners: Julie and Steven S. With 18 years of dog sitting experience, we are able to take care of your dogs needs while you are away from home. We are not just dog sitters; we are dog parents and dog lovers. Our home is completely set up just for dogs. We have an entirely fenced front and back yard, dog beds in every room and a 2 story home with plenty of space for all! We are able to accommodate the needs of shy or older dogs nicely with a multi-story home, giving them a space that is quiet and secluded away from the more active dogs. More active dogs get plenty of attention and exercise as well throughout the course of the day. We are experienced and able to accommodate dogs with special physical as well as behavioral needs with ease. With our multiple outside dog yards, all dogs will get the their time outside to enjoy fun in the sun and get their potty needs taken care of. Your dog will also enjoy one one on attention with us, group dog play (with your permission), walks, supervised play time outdoors and indoors as well as time to just hang out and relax. All we do is dog care is our primary focus and we love it. Because your dog is our primary focus they will always be cared for in a timely manner and never left alone for more than a few hours at a time. We welcome and encourage a home visit and meet and greet with you and your dog. We are happy to show you around our home. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I addition to many years of dog sitting experience, Julie also has over 18 years experience as a professional dog trainer. Julie is certified as a professional pet dog trainer thru the CCPDT and a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). Julie is also Pet First Aid and CPR certified to ensure the safety of your dog at all times. We have also been involved in dog rescue for many years, and welcome any and all breeds! Once you see our set up you will be more than confident that your dog will be loved, cared for, safe and tired when they go home! Schedule your meet n greet today! By appointment ONLY!

Our doggie loved staying at Julie’s place, he had plenty of balls to run around with and play and we loved getting pics of Gunner while we were gone. ?

Information Julie A S. would like to know about your pet

There is comfort in routine! At your meet and greet we make a special attempt to get to know you and your dog. From learning their daily routines, favorite activities, dietary needs, special accommodations and more. We make every attempt to learn and maintain a routine for your dog while they are with us. We respect your home rules and will enforce those while your dog stays with us (like no couch privileges, feeding schedule, potty schedules and more). From young puppies who need to learn good potty habits and good manners, to older dogs who cannot manage the stairs and need a calm quiet place to relax. We can do it. Just tell us what your dog needs, we are more than happy to accommodate them. The more we learn about your dog at their meet and greet the better they will be set them up for a successful happy stay with us. Please bring your dogs bed or blanket with you, or anything else that your dog finds special and comforting. Dogs DO use their items from home! Are they spayed/ neutered? What do they eat and when? Allergies/ special diets? Picky eater? eats anything in sight? Where do they sleep at night? Please bring a bed or blanket with you. Dogs DO use their items from home! Where do they stay when you are not at home? are they destructive or eat things they shouldn't? What is your dogs favorite activity? What training cues does your dog know? Are you working on teaching them something new? Anything else you would like to share is welcome too! I have worked with a Pit Bull rescue since 2008. Although I love ALL breeds, i have a special place in my heart for Pit Bulls, Cattle Dogs and Mastiffs!

A typical day

Your dogs stay will be full of fun activities! From Group dog play in our large fenced in yards (or in the house too), Tug games, play retrieve and snuggle time on the couch. We will also take walks around the neighborhood to make sure each and every dog gets the one on one attention they so deserve. During the course of each day we will spend one on one time with each dog doing their favorite activity. Each dog is an individual and should be treated as such. Some dogs just want to snuggle on the couch, while others enjoy a rousing game of tug, and yet another prefers a walk. We start each and every day off with snuggle time, and end each and every day with snuggle time. Nap time is a quiet time of day mid day. A brief period for every one to relax with a good bone to chew. Dogs are separated from each other at night, any time we have to be away from the home (those pesky appointments or errands!) and at meal times for their safety. We make every attempt to exercise the dogs very well before and after we might have to be away from home and are rarely gone more than 2 hours at a time. Steve is often home with the dogs if i have to be away, works out great for the dogs, not so much for us! We do have another wonderful professional pet sitter to fill in in emergencies, who we trust completely with our dogs and our home.
