For boarding, drop offs and picks up must occur between 9am until 9pm. For house-sittings, we can offer a variety of set ups including most day or overnight. Note that your pups should be ok with being alone for 2-4 hours in case errands must be run. For drop-ins, we can do drop ins as early as 7 am or as late as 8 pm. --- Daily Schedule --- We are usually up between 6am and 7am and like starting the day with a nice walk! Then we have breakfast and spend time playing with the pups in our yard. Afterwards we get ready and start our work day. Your pups are more than welcome to spend their time in our office space and joining our work meetings but they may feel more comfortable being in the living room and resting. Right before lunch we play fetch in the yard and build up an appetite for lunch. We have lunch together and spend some time resting or playing. If it's not too hot or cold outside, we go on a short walk around the block. In the evening we go on another walk, play out in the yard, and have dinner together. We usually go to bed at around 11pm (or later). We try to have the babies sleep earlier than that. ----

For our first time leaving our 2 year old rescue with a sitter we could not be happier with Norma and her family. Her updates with pictures put us at ease. We knew he was in good hands. We would be happy to leave Samson with them in the future.

Norma and Gerard were wonderful! I was nervous leaving my very anxious dog for several nights but she did great. They met with me ahead and made sure they had all the details, and sent regular updates while I was away. Will definitely be back again.

We are repeat customers and are grateful we found Norma & Gerard to care for our babies while we are away. We have a new puppy and this was the first time we left her. We knew it would be hard on her. We're thankful Norma & Gerard were patient with her until she was comfortable. Highly recommend them!
