A Home Away From Home For Your Dog!

I have been around dogs my whole life and love being around them. As does the other love of my life my husband Nestor. He is the other person who would be sharing in the dog experience of caring for their needs. I am a professional baker and my husband is a dog handler. We both love the responsibility of taking care of all types of dogs. As long as they are friendly with people and none aggressive we feel 100% comfortable caring for any breed. We truly value the entire experience of having a dog, from walking them, cuddling with them, and all the wonderful experiences one has with these sweet pups. We love being out doors and taking a friendly soul along with us. For us it's an easy transition bringing a new dog into our lives, and a wonderful experience giving and receiving their energy and love. My schedule is flexible during the week, and my husband Nestor's Schedule is even more flexible. We live in an apartment complex so no backyard. We can offer the doggy park for fetch play, and only use the doggy park when no other dogs are in it if you prefer. We have tons of doggy toys so playing inside is also fun, or if the pups are older we can juts let them relax and lounge at their own speed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! It was obvious from the start that they genuinely cared about my pup and paid close attention to her individual needs and routine. I loved receiving so many pictures and thoughtful updates—they gave me so much peace of mind and made it clear she was happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. Communication was wonderful throughout the stay, and I truly felt like my dog was in caring, capable hands. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pup like family.

Marissa and Nestor are the best with little June! We love how many pictures and video they send. It is such a gift to not have to worry about June when we’re away because we know she is so well taken care of.

Safety, trust & environment

I don't care for more than one dog at a time. if your dog is crate trained great. If they are not its fine as long as they are not destructive and house trained. We suggests meet and greets to put anxious dogs and dog parents at ease:)

A typical day

Good morning kisses, followed by morning walk around 5-6AM, then pup is welcomed to chill on the couch or dog bed after they've had their breakfast. Playtime is a beautiful energy in our home, so there will be plenty of that, followed with sweet picture updates!:) Afternoon I will take your dog on a long walk either on a trail walk or Dog Park (if your pup is friendly and social with other dogs) located nicely within our apartment complex. It’s a great time to socialize with other dogs, get some exercise, and fresh air (mindful of heat) plenty of H2O for the pups during walks. I also like taking dogs with me on the weekends anywhere dogs are allowed such as bars/restaurants/shops. Lastly, the evening walk would be 10:00pm. All dogs love to sleep on our comfy couch; they are welcome to sleep on the couch or on our dog bed. I take into consideration any dietary needs, health issues, or any special requirements your dog may have. We provide: small/large dog bowls, doggy poop bags, doggy blankets, large dog bed, toys (balls etc.), and lots of LOVE!:)

I would appreciate it if the client informed me of any medical issues with their dog before booking. Also if the dog is house trained and more or less if the dog is on a specific schedule as far as how many times a day he/she is walked. Does the dog bark a lot if left home for a few hrs.? And lastly, does the dog get along with other dogs and is he a protective dog or friendly around kids and other adults?
