It depends what your animal prefers! Dogs definitely get walks or hikes and your dog and we can play with toys or balls if they like. There are always snuggles available.

Pet care experience
We know what it feels like to try to find a good pet sitter and leave a fur baby in someone else's care. We live with two teens, and we are currently without a family pet, so look forward to loving yours! We have experience with senior dogs and cats (as well as chickens and rabbits) and with medicine administration to ill dogs. We will only ever book one household at a time (unless you have a special request), so there will never be other animals here unexpectedly. Mike grew up with dogs, Nicola grew up with cats, and we have had a family rabbit, chickens, and dog in recent years.
Reviews
Nicola and Michael were amazing! They took great care of our dog, Star, and were incredibly capable/caring in dealing with some unanticipated medical needs that came up for Star prior to us leaving on our trip. They were great communicators, and the daily updates were appreciated. It was so clear that Star had bonded with them and felt loved when she was there.
Nicola and Michael were wonderful with Jupiter. He has special needs since birth and gets tired easily. Jupiter came home happy and not over tired. Also, I received photos everyday, which was great. I am so appreciative..
Nicola and Mike are the best pet-sitters we could have ever hoped for. They are not only delightful people, but also took such amazing care of our cats and went above and beyond our expectations. They provide excellent communication, updates at every visit (with fun bonus pictures of the mess our cats made), and even cleaned up after our kitties which was not required but very appreciated. They took time to get to know our cats and their unique personalities , and bonded with them in a very short time. I can’t recommend them highly enough and will be booking with them in the future.
Nicola, Michael, and family did a wonderful job caring for Clio, our small dog, during a 10-day stay. They were great communicators and provided daily photos and updates. Most importantly, Clio was happy and healthy when we picked her up. She clearly enjoyed staying with her new best friends! We’d happily have Clio stay with them again.
