We are full-time walkers & sitters. We do not offer boarding. Nikki past: I grew up with a cat and a Shetland sheepdog (puppy - 12 years old). I learned how to take care of a dog at a young age and have continued loving caring for animals. I take care of my parents' current 9-year-old dog, Tony, when they need it. He has been diagnosed with cancer and I have learned to care for senior & ailing dogs.

Information Nicole & Keiran D. would like to know about your pet

Are they leash-reactive, reactive, do they have triggers (birds, other animals, cats, cars backfiring, etc.), if they are okay and permitted to go to the dog park. Do they have any medications, any quirks (afraid of thunderstorms, afraid of balloons), do they have any allergies.

A typical day

We have tons of supervised play. Our dog loves playing with other dogs - fetch, wrestle, tug of war, etc. We have many toys. We also have a partial backyard/alley where dogs can play fetch. We are near several dog parks and trails. We make sure they get regular walks and pets, and to play with them as well.

Nicole & Kieran did a great job of caring for our pup. They communicated well, and were attentive to environmental concerns in the house with the changing seasons.
