Pet care experience

Dog loving family, fenced backyard

My husband and I both grew up with dogs. We adopted our first dog the week after we got married. We had our beloved goldendoodle Dexter for 12 wonderful years. He passed away in January 2024. We are not ready to own another dog ourselves, but we would love to care for other's dogs! We miss having a fury friend in our home. We have 2 young boys who grew up around our dog Dexter and are used to other family member's dogs too. Our kids have been taught to be respectful dog lovers. Our house is set up for a dog, we have dishes and toys, we also have a large fenced in backyard for your dog to run in.

Katie & Samuel are top tier pet sitters. Riley was so excited to see them which makes my heart happy. They take excellent care of my Riley while I am away.

Katie, Samuel, and their family always take such good care of our Jarvis! They send frequent updates and always make sure that he has everything he needs to be comfortable while there. We know we can always trust them. We look forward to our next booking with them :)

Katie and Sam always do a great job watching my dog, Moose! They give updates, when appropriate. And they also were graciously flexible when my flight got cancelled. Highly recommend!

No complaints at all — we had a wonderful experience! Katie was incredibly welcoming and made me feel completely at ease leaving Moose in her care. I knew he was in great hands and would happily book again

Schedule

I currently work part-time from home, so will have plenty of time to walk and care for your dog. We occasionally have a kids sports event in the evenings that would have us out of the house for 1-2 hours in the evening. But other than being out for a few hours here and there we are home during the week and on weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a large fenced in backyard for your dog to run and play in. We also have a med/large dog crate we can use, if you dog needs to be crated if we are gone for a couple hours. We can take your dog on daily walks and play fetch in our backyard. Our 2 boys love dogs and will have lots of fun playing with them too!

We can do daily walks, running in our fenced backyard, playing with our kids, fetch or tugging, snuggles on the couch, hanging out while we work from home during the day.
