Pet care experience

Newlywed dog lovers!

I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Sorin and I adopted two rescues since being together and they are our whole world. We treat our dogs like they are our children and cuddle and spoil them as much as possible. We got engaged in 2021 were looking for a fun way to earn extra income for our big day and decided the perfect way would be taking care of sweet pups. We have since gotten married and became totally obsessed with meeting all the new dogs that we have and decided we wanted to continue dog watching after the wedding. Sorin works from home full time and can let the dogs out whenever they need. Our dogs can be very playful or very mellow - they will feed of your dogs energy. We can take them on walks before, or after work or on lunch. We have a fenced in, open backyard for ample play space. We have dog beds, couches and beds that the dogs are welcome to cuddle with us on or be in their own space. We have a bin of toys for the dogs to play with and pull out as they please. We are happy to accommodate most requests so please feel free to ask!

Nicki and Sorin were super helpful stepping in very last minute. Very communicative. Gave me piece of mind while I was away.

Always a pleasure to have Sorin and Nicki taking care of our cats while we are away. The cats have really warmed up to them and seem happy to see them when they stop by. We were gone for 3 weeks and Sorin took out our bins on trash day unprompted when he saw the neighbors' bins out. He also was willing to water my houseplants and move one of the visit times to line up with a package delivery that we couldn't be there for. Thanks again for taking care of our cats!

Nikki and Sorin were great! They completed daily drop-ins while we were on vacation over the holidays for our cats. The visit times were consistent and they often stayed a little bit longer than the 30 minute check-ins. We got regular updates on the cats and pictures every day to see how things were going. Will them definitely book for future check-ins!

Sasha fitted in very well with Nicki and Sorin's household. Everyday I was happy to see she was well taken care of from the pictures and sometimes videos. Sasha was more attached to Nicki and Sorin than to their dogs. I highly recommend their service.

Nicki & Sorin are the best pup sitters ever! They provide multiple updates a day and we know that our pup is in good hands when he stays with them.

Schedule

There will be at least one of us with your pup during the stay. There may be a point when we both need to leave but that usually isn’t the case and generally wouldn’t be over an hour or two. We have crates or if they free roam at your house without any issues we would put our dogs in other rooms. If you’d like us to keep up with any training we can do this as well.
