Safety, trust & environment

We are big dog lovers; we make sure that every dog gets personalized attention. Cuddle sessions, playing with toys, long walks, we do it all to make sure each pup feels loved while away from their humans. We also make sure that their environment is dog-friendly and pet-proofed; we have cozy sleep areas with blankets and low volume environments so dogs aren't overwhelmed. While we don't have a yard, we live close to multiple parks ensuring the pups get good walk time, have a safe place to use the facilities, as well as have opportunities to socialize (if that's what they need). Overall, we very experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages and know that they would have the best time in our cares.

Natalie & Zac were great, they took good care of our dog and provided several photos and a report back when they finished.

Natalie and Zac were great! We did a meet and greet beforehand so Rosa felt comfortable at their place. She’s a bit of an anxious dog and seemed to warm up to them quickly! They also took her on a hike one of the days which was super nice to see her having a great time. Would book again!

Natalie and Zac did a wonderful job of taking care of my senior pup (required multiple supplements, meds) last minute while we were out of town for a wedding. They were very responsive and accommodating, sent photos every day, and most importantly she seemed very happy and loved when we picked her up! I really appreciated them offering a meet and greet beforehand to see exactly where my dog would be (beautiful cozy space) providing me with a sense of security. Notably, my pup who is a bit shy at first was giving them full blown cuddles by the end of her stay, which she does not always do! I would highly recommend Natalie and Zac to anyone looking for dog sitting and I plan to rebook with them again.

Natalie and Zac were so great when watching Reuben! They were very attentive to instructions, and gave Reuben so much love and attention. They gave great regular updates with amazing photos. I always felt like I knew what was going on and knew that he was being well taken care of. I would definitely recommend them to anybody who wants a great caretaker for their pet.

Natalie and Zac were so helpful in taking care of our pup! Our previous petsitter cancelled on us and we only had a few days’ notice - Natalie and Zac were super flexible with working with us last minute. They were also very communicative and sent photos throughout our pups’ stay. Highly recommend!! Thank you again, Natalie and Zac!
