My husband and I both work from home and our life pretty much revolves around our pets: three dogs and a cat. We understand how important it is to have a pet sitter who loves and cares for animals and we'll treat every dog as if they are our own. We have a positive energy in our home which I believe makes it easier for new dogs to settle in. I enjoy cuddling with the dogs and petting them so they feel welcomed. It is important to be notified if the dog is a barker since we both work from home. My husband takes calls on a regular basis and I occasionally have conference calls. And if the dog is a barker, a crate provided so that I can take a call in another room. If the dog is not a barker but has anxiety issues, I will keep the dog at my side during a call or have my husband stay with the dog if I need to be extra focused. Weekends starting from Friday after 2pm thru Monday morning at 9am are available for overnight boarding. We are happy during this time period to be as flexible with dogs that need extra care such as elderly dogs that need to go out frequently for potty breaks or need extra attention whether it's cuddling up on the sofa or hanging out on our back deck in the summer. We will dog sit for a week or longer if it is a dog we've had in our home on a regular basis. We want to make sure that the dog is happy and comfortable being in our home and that we know that we can provide the best care for it especially for a long stay.
