My husband and I thought it would be fun and a kindness to invite in dogs to care for. My husband works from home, and I work a hybrid schedule, so typically one of us will always be home.

Pet care experience

Both my husband and I have had dogs our entire adult lives. Our older dog passed away last July so we are ready to welcome dogs to care for. We will provide regular walks and there is ongoing access to the back yard. We are quite experienced caring for unneutered male dogs. Depending on their personality and the situation, we may charge an additional premium should it make sense to host them solo. In general, we like to schedule a meet and greet the first time we are caring for a new dog. Thank you!

Nicole & Ted are so great!! We left both of our dogs with them for a week and they were wonderful! They are very flexible, we ended up giving them our 2nd dog with only two days notice. They were very communicative and giving us updates often. We will definitely be using them again!

What wonderful pet sitters ❤️❤️ Nicole and Ted were just the best - so communicative and made us feel like our little senior schnauzer was on vacation. They truly care for your pet as though it's their own. Thank you so much, we will certainly be in touch next time we're in the area!!

I couldn’t ask for better sitters for Lia. I had to book a sitter some what last minute due to a change in my plans for the holidays and I’m so grateful I found Nicole and Ted. They are communicative and I could tell they really took care of my dog like she was their own. I also had some travel issues with my return flight and they never made me feel like it was a burden to keep Lia longer than anticipated. I look forward to working with them again in the future!!

We know our dog, Moose, had such a great time with Nicole and Ted! They provided regular photos, updates, and were extremely communicative. We had a few days to find a last minute sitter and they were great about helping to make it all work out before we left for vacation. Our dog is a large, energetic Golden Retriever, so we know we need someone who understands large breeds that are forever puppies. Thanks so much, Nicole and Ted!
