Hello! We recently moved to north San Jose from New Jersey, where we ran a busy and successful dog-sitting business out of our home for 5 years. We both work full-time during the week so we are only available weekends, but we want to hang out with some fun new dogs! For this reason, Friday drop-offs need to be in the evening after work hours. When your pup comes to stay with us for boarding or daycare, they are the only dog in our home and get our full love and attention - they'll feel just like they're one of the family! Crates are welcome but not required. Dogs must not have any marking tendencies and must be fully housebroken, and should be comfortable on their own for up to 2-3 hours. We live in a bright, mostly carpeted 1-bedroom apartment (4th floor, elevator or stairs) with a small balcony overlooking a sunny pool area. There is a giant public park in the middle of our complex with shady sidewalks perfect for dog walks. For your dog's safety, they will never be off-leash! I know it can be stressful leaving your pet with someone new - I do everything I can to put everyone at ease! Nichole (& Skylar)
