Pet care experience

Big yard, friendly dogs- come hang!

We’re a pack of four - two dogs and two humans - and we’re always excited to welcome canine guests! Our 80 lb supermutt, Loki, and 60 lb pitty, Ginny, love visitors of all kinds (though so far, only humans and canines have been officially approved 😉). Our home is very dog-friendly, with plenty of toys and space to play including a fenced yard in the back. Your dog will be comfortable here, and we’re happy to accommodate any special needs to make their stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We offer overnight stays and only accept dogs who are house-trained. For everyone’s safety, guest dogs must be spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and friendly with other dogs. We can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾

House Sitting • Dec 27, 2025

Melika was a fantastic sitter for our very opinionated elder beagle. She played age appropriate games with him, carried him up the stairs and kept him company on the couch. She was also very communicative which helped soothe my nerves about leaving our doggo for several days. She also took care of our house, which was cleaner than we left it. 100% would recommend her.

Melika was great with my somewhat difficult fur babies. She even crocheted my Rat Terrier a sweater!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a large fenced yard that is accessible from the deck/kitchen, locked and unless your dog is a real athlete that can jump a 6ft fence, very safe for them to hang. The finished basement level is also available for dog play in a pack or individually. Also comes in handy to separate any nervous dogs, as needed.

Pets

A typical day

Ginny likes to play tug and will run around the yard. Loki has gotten a bit old now so he mostly just begs for treats and sleeps. Loves long walks so I take them to blooms park on weekends for a long walk.

I would like to know if your dog is vaccinated. If he/she has any special needs. Feeding schedule. Any reactions or quirks I should know about? How he/she likes to play, what care to provide them and what expectations you have from the stay.
