Absolutely Paw-sitive Experience!

Pet care experience

Dog boarding rate is per night, up to 24 hours. If drop off/pick up times are not the same, there may be a price adjustment, however, I am flexible with this policy if you booked a long stay. My children and I are avid dog lovers. We lead a healthy & active lifestyle, & dog sitting is a whole family affair for us. Unless you requests a separate dog bed, your dog will most likely sleep in our bedroom or in one of my children's beds. We are caring & empathetic & will treat your special pet as our own to ease his/her time away from you. We work hard to provide quality care as we believe animals deserve nothing less. By quality we mean regular exercise, play time & snuggles. We will decline a dog stay that we perceive as not safe or disruptive for the other animals in our care. Caring for your dog is a privilege, & we eagerly await every dog stay. Satisfied pet parents & dogs is our biggest reward! A meet and greet is preferred for each dog & every guest needs to be well mannered and socialized. High strung, high energy, hyper-active dogs, dogs chewing on furniture, dogs that not house broken & dogs not sleeping through the night will not be a good fit here since it's too stressful for our family & other dogs we are hosting. There're usually no more than 2 dog guests at a time to ensure that everyone gets the attention they deserve. We believe in quality over quantity. Once in awhile, there can be "spillover" where we have an extra dog or two for 24-48 hours, especially around holiday times. Our rates are flexible to customize your experience. Please let us know if you need a special arrangement.

Lena was so amazing! We received many pictures and videos that assured us the ladies were being well taken care of. She was communicative and flexible with our travel schedule. We will absolutely use her services in the future!

I would like to thank Lena for her amazing service! This is the first time we left our puppy Bailey with a dog sitter. Lena has been super responsive, sending us updates and pictures every day, and we got a very happy puppy when we came back. I highly recommend Lena for anyone who needs a wonderful home and care for their pets! Thank you, Lena! ❤️🐶

Lena was great with Mia and took wonderful care of her while I was on a week long vacation over the holidays...communication was great, photos on a frequent basis of day to day activities, and Mia seemed really relaxed and comfortable with Lena and her family. I'd definitely recommend Lena and will be asking her to watch Mia again!

Lena was easily the best dog sitter we have had to date. She took such great care of our baby and sent us pictures every day. While he missed us very much, he came back doing surprisingly well emotionally and physically. Can't say enough about our experience! Thanks Lena!

Information Lena B. would like to know about your pet

Are they able to walk well on a leash or do they pull? How are they around other dogs? Do they like to have food out all the time or eat on a schedule? What do they like to do for play time? How are they with children? How do you discipline your dog? Do they need to be put in a kennel if I leave the house or at night? Does your dog have anxiety when separated or have any anxiety manifesting behaviors (howling, digging, barking, licking, aggression)? Do they sleep with you or in their own bed? Any allergies?

A typical day

Animals who are comfortable with car rides & well behaved are fully included in my daily activities, from meeting friends at a coffee shop to going to a Farmer's market to driving out of town for a hike. Ultimately, what we do depends on the dog's comfort zone & your preference. I believe high energy dogs need regular exercise to be happy & make it a priority. Also, photography is my hobby & I enjoy discovering beautiful places to photograph your pet.
