We are both home so are able to be with your dog most of the time. We may need to pick up the kids or go for a soccer match so the dog should be able to stay on their own 3-4 hours. Our pick up and drop off windows are within 8am-8pm and a booking is 24hrs so if you drop off at 9am, pick up is by 9am too. After that day care is charged. Day care is between 8am-6pm.

Pet care experience

I've grown up with multiple dogs from Great Danes to Cocker Spaniels to Boxers and many animals. My two boys, my husband and I enjoy caring for dogs. We would be happy to care for your dogs as our own, while you are away, and provide a warm and loving family environment to stay. We are both home most of the time so between us, your dog will have a lot of companionship. And the kids love, love, love dogs as do we, so your baby will be well loved. Our boys and us will take the dogs for walks along Shoreline, to a park to play or on a hike so they have their own little holiday while you are away:). The kids will also play fetch with the dog in our big, fenced yard. We do ask that the dog is: house trained Gets along well with kids Gets along with other dogs can be left home alone for 2-3 hours. As we do have kids in the house, we will not take pit bulls or any pit bull mixes, Rottweilers or Staffordshire terriers.

Michelle and Mandar are incredible! Do you want your pup to come back happy and tired? They are your best option! Blink (our golden) absolutely loves them, and the volume of pictures and video leaves you with nothing to worry about!

Obi, our 5 yo Corgi had a great time. He chased lots of balls and enjoyed playing with the boys. He came home tired, which was good since we had a long way to drive. We appreciate the many pictures sent during the day

Michelle and Mandar are kind, friendly and experienced hosts. My elderly dog has stayed with them multiple times, sometimes on short notice, and he loves being there. I can relax knowing he’s in great hands and appreciate all the cute photos they send. I’ll definitely be booking with Michelle and Mandar again.

They were wonderful - they took our golden (Blink, a hyper dude) on short notice, sent TONS of pics and videos to make us feel safe and he came back very tired and happy!
