Reliable and Experienced Dog Lovers

We are responsible and experienced dog owners living on Capitol Hill who enjoy caring for dogs and providing them with a safe, comfortable home while their owners are away. We grew up with dogs and have always loved the companionship, energy, and personality they bring to a home. I understand how important it is to know your pet is well cared for, exercised, and treated with kindness. Our home is in a great dog-friendly neighborhood with several parks nearby for walks, playtime, and fresh air. We have a doggie door and a small outside area. We also have our own dog, Java, who is a friendly and an easygoing companion and enjoys having visiting dogs. We provide a calm, attentive environment where dogs can feel relaxed, safe, and part of the household. I look forward to welcoming your pet and giving them plenty of care, exercise, and affection while you’re away.

Julie and Ryan were great with Pearl for her multiple night stay! They provided updates with pictures daily. I will definitely be using them again when needed.

Julie & Ryan took great care of Jolene! They sent regular updates to keep me informed. I was worried she wouldn't want to leave them at the end!

I have known Julie and Ryan for over 15 years and can confidently say they are thoughtful, organized, and excellent communicators. They are attentive to details with any pet and take commitments seriously. Their dog Java is lovely — friendly, calm, and great with other dogs. They have watched our dog on several occasions and we have been exceptionally happy. They create a safe and welcoming environment, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog hosts.

I have known Julie and Ryan for over 8 years and can confidently say they are thoughtful, organized, and excellent communicators. They are attentive to details with any pet and take commitments seriously. Their dog Java is lovely — friendly, calm, and great with other dogs. They have watched our dog on several occasions and we have been more than happy. Our dog considers Julie, Ryan, and Java her second family, their house her home away from home. They are a wonderful family and always create a safe and welcoming environment. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog hosts.

Schedule

I'm currently looking for work and have loads of time to provide companionship, love, and loads of walks for your furry family member. Between my husband and I, someone is always home to give your furry child attention and engagement.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a two story house with a fenced in backyard and deck. We have several dog parks near bye. Our dog is medium sized, and very easy to get along with. We go on tons of walks ourselves so adding one more just makes it more fun.

Pets

A typical day

We will go on several walks and visit dog parks daily. If your furry friend gets along with other dogs, we will give them as much stimulation as we can. Plus, they have our dog to play with.
