Highlights
Pet care experience
We ❤️ Dogs! Both WFH, Walk Tons
Tosa dog people without dogs! We both work from home, so our ability to care for your pups is fairly broad! Both my husband and I have owned and/or cared for dogs our whole lives. Not ready to take the pup ownership plunge ourselves again at this time (lots of work and personal travel!) but we pupsit and care for our friends and neighbors pups and pets - so why not yours? We will love them like they’re ours 🥰 Our kids are very gentle - they love and respect animals as much as we do, and we love to teach them how important it is to care for and observe the emotions and behavioral cues of dogs and pets. We live in an extremely walkable area, and we walk to and from school every weekday - so pup will be out and about every day! We live adjacent to a park and nature preserve and enjoy being active, hiking, and the outdoors.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I would highly recommend Katharine and Michael. They were very caring kind and knowledgeable.They sent a picture or video every day and walked my dog and cared for her. My dog thrived with them and their family. I would definitely rebook with them on our next trip.
Thank you for taking great care of Penny! You were always sending pics and updates! Definitely will rebook with you in the future!
Lillee had a great time with Katharine and Michael. She looked liked she had a blast with lots of snuggles, pics, and notes everyday of her stay. I appreciate the great care they took of her!
Heartfelt thank you to Katie and Mike and the boys for caring for our girl, Luna. They were so understanding of her anxiety and providing her with a gentle space while we were away.
Hazel had a wonderful stay, as always!
Katherine and Michael took such great care of our dog. We got lots of updates and could tell how happy she was. They truly made a home for her while we were gone and we love that she bonded with their fam so much!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
We both work from home, so have good flexibility to be present with and walk pups (they love to lay at my husbands feet while he’s in meetings!). We walk a ton, in any weather!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in yard, and take safety seriously. Any walks after dark will have lights/reflectors for pup (and human!) safety. Happy to crate your fur babes, if that’s within their experience and preference.
A typical day
We love to walk the kids to and from school every day and explore the sights and smells of our neighborhood. All of the shops around here keep dog treats on hand for our well behaved canine citizens! We will explore the park close to our house, which is also a nature preserve. Our pup friends love to bask in the sun - we have huge floor to ceiling windows in the front of our house, and an abundance of squirrel friends to watch in their shenanigans. Mike likes to play tug of war and catch with our fur friends if they’re feeling so inclined.
