Monica took wonderful care of Chewy! She was communicative, flexible, and very accommodating. Would 100% recommend her and would like to have her watch Chewy again when we are in the area.

Schedule

I work full-time mon-fri, bank hours, but I am always home after 5 and on weekends. I have two dogs at home who love to go on walks and play in the yard. Your fur baby would be a welcome addition.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard with lots of room to sniff. I keep it clean and maintained. My dogs would love the company of more! Myself, my husband, and my 17 yr old son are all dog lovers so your pet will get plenty of love.

Pets

A typical day

We get up before 6:00 to start our day. We spend a little time outside before having breakfast. We then spend a little more time outside to make sure everyone gets a chance to do their business. I work 8am to 5pm and then when I get home we go out to play a little before dinner. My son is home during the day so there's rarely a time when the dogs are home alone and they get lots of chances to go outside. If it's not too hot we'll go for a walk or play some fetch after work or dinner. If it's hot we wait until later in the evening to walk. Our dogs sleep in our bed and your dog is welcome. We love to play and snuggle!

Is your pet leash trained? How is their off leash response? Have you noticed any resource guarding behaviors? Are they kennel trained or free roaming? Will they be ok left home for up to 4 hours? Do they have any unique behavior quirks or something I should be aware of ahead of time?
