A Loving Home Away From Home

Dogs have been part of my family for my entire life, and I have experience caring for many different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I truly love dogs and understand that every dog has their own routine, comfort level, and needs. I work from home, so your dogs receive plenty of attention and are not left alone for long periods. We also have two friendly dachshunds of our own and are very comfortable caring for multiple dogs. Our home has a large, secure, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. We also have a doggy door, allowing dogs to go outside when they need to, as long as they are comfortable using it. I also have a great local park nearby where dogs can enjoy walks, fresh air, and playtime. Because of the Texas heat, all walks and park visits will be scheduled early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler and safer. I treat every dog like part of the family and do my best to make them feel safe, loved, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away.

Michael and his daughters are amazing with dogs. They treat my dog like one of their own, giving him so much love and attention. His own dogs are incredibly friendly and great with other dogs. Highlight of my dog's day is when he hears Michael and his daughters coming to pick him up whether it's for a walk or for over night stay.

I highly recommend Ayva and Keira as dog sitters. They are responsible, dependable, and genuinely love animals. I trust them to provide excellent care, and any pet would be in great hands with them. They're kind, attentive, and will treat your pets as if they were their own. Don't hesitate to give them a shot!

Schedule

I work from home, so caring for dogs fits naturally into our daily routine. I have a secure, fully fenced backyard with trees for shade, and the gate stays locked for safety. I also have a doggy door, so dogs who are comfortable using it can go outside whenever they need to. I enjoy taking dogs on walks in the morning and later in the evening when the temperature is cooler. Because of the Texas heat, we avoid walking during the hottest parts of the day. Inside, there are plenty of toys, treats, and comfortable places to relax. I also have two small dogs of our own who enjoy having friendly dogs to play with.

Safety, trust & environment

In our home, dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a large two-story house with plenty of room for dogs to play, relax, and find a comfortable space of their own. Our backyard is fully fenced and has a secure locked gate, giving dogs a safe place for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. I also have a nearby park where we can take dogs for walks and playtime when the weather is cool enough. My two daughters love spending time with dogs and enjoy giving them attention and gentle play. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special care needs. Our goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are with us.
