Paws-itively Animal Obsessed!
** FOR BOARDING IN MY HOME: DOGS MUST BE GOOD WITH CATS! ** Hi! We are Darren and Nicole and we’ve been pet sitting for over 20 years. We are parents to 1 big dog and 5 cuddly cats (as well as two humans.) We treat all pets as if they are our own, and give them all the love and attention that they want during their stay. Our dog, Lincoln, is a big, mellow boy. He’s a giant couch potato and prefers low-to-mid energy friends. He does like to play, but he tends to hide from our more hyper and high-energy doggie friends. BOARDING OF DOGS: While our cats are used to dog visitors, they don't like being chased nor do we want to worry about them being hurt. Similarly, we don't want your pup to be hurt if one of our cats has to defend itself. If it turns out to be an issue during your dog’s stay, he/she will have to be crated when we are unable to supervise (such as at night or if we have to run out). Otherwise, doggie guests are allowed the full run of the house as long as they are house trained (fully potty trained, non-destructive, etc). Please feel free to bring their dog bed, toys, etc. so your dog has a bit of home with him/her, and please bring your own dog food. STAYS IN YOUR HOME: My calendar is only open by default on Friday and Saturday nights, but if you have a different date in mind please feel free to reach out and I can see if I can accommodate your dates. I also do not charge for additional dogs or cats. My rate is the same regardless of if you have 2 dogs, 2 cats, one cat and one dog, etc. If the rates look different when you go to make your reservation, let me know. Some settings may need to be adjusted manually as there is a limit to the customization on the sitter side.

Nicole was great. She responded quickly to my last minute request and was very accommodating. We were able to coordinate a pick-up so I could make it to an appointment on time.

Schedule
Fortunately, Darren works from home full time so someone is home a majority of the time to give potty breaks, provide treats and get in some cuddle and play time. Nicole works in education M-F and is home by late afternoon to spend quality time with your furbaby.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We do accept daycare dogs from different homes on the same day, but we always confirm with the first booked client that it won't be an issue before accepting the second booking. We look forwarding to spending time with your furbaby!

A typical day
We love to play fetch, give belly rubs & back scratches, and relax in our fenced backyard (as well as squirrel watch, of course!), when weather permits.
Prices include all fees.
