Pet care experience

Fur baby vacation home by dog dads!

We have welcomed both young puppies and senior dogs into our family over the past couple of years and are well-versed in dog care of all ages, including medication, potty/leash/crate training, etc. We own a brand new condo in a gated, dog-friendly community. We look forward to welcoming your fur baby into our safe space. I work predominantly at home and my husband works full-time from home so there will always be a guardian to take care of your pets needs. We care for our own dogs with patience, kindness, and attention; we will do the same for any dog entering our home. We do not believe in negative reinforcement or punishment. We train with positive reinforcement, repetition, and treats.

Michael and VJ are great. Top line communication. Very amenable to the needs of my dog and inherently professional. They kept me informed of what was up with my boy and went above and beyond to keep him safe and healthy. Big thumbs up from us.

Mat and VJ were amazing. They accommodated a last minute request and were even willing to meet on short notice. They sent videos and photos throughout the stay and helped us feel very confident that Wiley was loved and well taken care of. Would book them again!

Matthew and Van Joseph were absolutely exceptional from start to finish! We could not have asked for better dog sitters. Communication was outstanding: quick, clear and thoughtful. We always knew how our dog was doing and never had to wonder whether everything was okay. Our flight was unfortunately delayed, but they were incredibly accommodating and flexible, which made an already stressful travel situation so much easier. 10 out of 10!

Pets

A typical day

Our gated community is a whole city block so we have many areas for dogs to sniff, relieve themselves, and play. Since we live in a very dog friendly community, we often see other dogs out on walks. All the dogs in the community are well behaved, socialized, and trained. It's an on-leash community, so for off-leash adventures, we have a dog park 5 mins away from our house. We love engaging with dogs we watch with toys, brain games, and treats.
