Couple working from home loves dogs

Pet care experience

We've had multiple dogs, mostly large breed, for the last 38 years. We are a middle aged couple and have one dog, Maxwell, who is great with dogs as well. I work from home and my husband is home 3-4 days of the week. Your dog will go on at least two walks per day. We're happy to take to vet visits if needed. We're just a fun couple who loves dogs and would like to help out those who need pet sitting but don't want their pets home alone all day/night and don't want to put them in a kennel. I work from home and my husband is home 3-4 days of the week. We like to walk our dog daily, sometimes twice a day. We have one dog, Maxwell, who is great with other dogs. He will keep your pets company. We don't have a fenced in yard but we can walk your dog multiple times a day or let them out in the front yard on a leash. We live in a nice, peaceful neighborhood.

Maria and Ian were great! They were super responsive throughout Apollo's whole stay and I could tell he had a great time. I would use them again to watch Apollo in a heartbeat.

Great Communication! Pics of my dog were really nice. Maria and Ian provided a very clean and loving environment for my dog. Will definitely use them again.

Maria and Ian were a dream. They loved on our dogs as much as we do and sent is continuous pictures and videos of them playing. They were extremely attentive, and were definitely more than we could have bargained for. Our dogs got along great with their dog, Max, and even played together the whole week they stayed! There was even part of their stay where Jax and Otis were afraid of the thunder, and they made sure they both felt safe and content in the storm. They live in a great neighborhood with plenty of wildlife for our dogs to enjoy watching during the day. We will definitely be leaving our dogs with them again!

Maria and Ian are wonderful dog sitters! Our dog, Scout, has been there multiple times. She is always so excited when she gets to their house and loves their sweet dog. Maria is fast at communicating and takes good care Scout's needs. We don't worry a bit when she is there!

Information Maria & Ian B. would like to know about your pet

Any/all medical issues would need to be addressed ahead of time. While I do have a lot of experience with senior dogs and administering oral/topical medications, I don't have any experience in administering shots. However, I'm competent and willing to learn if this is needed. Any type of anxieties would also be helpful to know. For example, my dog gets really anxious when phone sounds go off.

A typical day

We love to walk in our neighborhood. It's tucked away and safe/low traffic. We play fetch and hide/seek with our dog and he loves it!
