Pet care experience

Let us be your pets' second home

I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. My family growing up always had at least 2 dogs at home and my neighbors and friends always relied on me to take care of their dogs while they traveled. As an adult, I have owned several of my own dogs and I have fostered close to 100 rescue dogs and cats in my home. I have interacted with many different breeds, sizes, and personalities.

Juniper had a wonderful time at Marilee's house. The kids loved on her for the entire time she was there and she came home completely exhausted. I know she would love to go back there next time we need a sitter and I know she will be well cared for.

They kept me updated throughout the day and my dogs came back very happy and tired, 10/10 sitters!

Piper seemed really happy with Marilee, and her kids were so cute with Piper. I loved seeing the happy pictures of Piper running around in the yard, and I believe Piper had a great time with kids and other dogs. She was flexible and helpful, and I would definitely consider having her watch Piper again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 3 friendly dogs and a handful of kids to help keep your pet entertained. We have a fenced yard in a quite neighborhood for play time. Our neighborhood has sidewalks for safe walks. We have crates of all styles and sizes if you prefer to not bring your own. We will use crates if your pet is going to be unsupervised to ensure the safety of all animals at our house, including yours. This includes at night. Please work with them on comfort in a crate before their stay if it has been a while since they used it last.

Pets

A typical day

We play at home in the morning and early afternoon, both inside and out. In the evening we like to go check out the smells around the neighborhood and stop by the park by my house for extra play!
