Experienced Work from Home Couple

Expertise in Senior & Special Needs Care: With over six years of experience and a history of five-star reviews on Rover, we specialize in providing tailored, compassionate care. Our dedication is deeply personal: we spent years caring for our own beloved Miniature Schnauzer, Nick, who was both blind and diabetic. This journey equipped us with the patience and technical skill to manage complex care needs, including insulin injections and strict medication schedules. We understand the level of trust it takes to leave a special-needs or senior pet in someone else’s hands, and we are here to provide that absolute peace of mind. Constant Supervision & Companionship: Your dog will never be lonely here. Our home operates with a "full-time care team" mentality. My husband and I work from home. This means your pet will have the benefit of two attentive caregivers present throughout the day. Family Engagement: With our adult children often visiting from college, there is almost always someone available to offer a lap to sit on, a backyard game of fetch, or a gentle ear scratch. A Stress-Free Sanctuary: Our goal is for your pup to feel like a member of our family, not a guest in a kennel. Our Commitment to You: After losing Nick, we chose to dedicate our home to pet-sitting rather than getting another dog of our own. This means your pet receives 100% of our focus and affection during their stay. Getting Started: We happily offer free meet-and-greets at our home so you and your pup can get a feel for the space. If you would prefer a meet-and-greet at your own residence, please let us know so we can coordinate an in-home visit. We look forward to welcoming your pup into our family!

Poogan was happy and relaxed when we picked him up from Pam. We enjoyed regular updates and cute photos. Pam and her husband were kind and were easy to communicate with. We highly recommend them for your doggies next stay and would happily rebook with them again.

Our dog stayed with Pam for 10 days and had a wonderful time! It was our first time leaving her at someone else’s home so we were anxious, but Pam sent frequent updates and pictures. When we picked her up she was happy and healthy and it was clear she was well taken care of. We definitely would book with Pam again!

Pam and Richard were great with our pup, I’m always a little apprehensive leaving him with new people for the first time but Pam quickly put my mind at rest that he was in safe hands and it looked like he had a lovely time. Thanks both!

Schedule

With both my husband and me now home full-time, your pup will enjoy 24/7 companionship and supervision. There is truly never a lonely moment in our house! Because we both operate from home, we can easily maintain your dog’s specific routine—whether that involves mid-day medication, frequent potty breaks, or just plenty of attention and belly rubs throughout the workday. We love the energy a wagging tail brings to our home and are fully available to provide the constant care and engagement your dog deserves.

Safety, trust & environment

A Secure, Monitored Outdoor Space: Your pet’s safety is our absolute priority. Our yard is fully and securely fenced, and as an extra layer of protection, we keep our side gates padlocked at all times to prevent any accidental openings or unauthorized access. Proactive Supervision: We believe in "eyes-on" care. To ensure total safety from local wildlife or environmental hazards, we have a strict policy of never allowing dogs outside alone during dusk or evening hours. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a game of fetch, we are right there with them. A Healthy, Stress-Free Home: Inside, our home is curated for comfort and safety: Medical Precision: We are experienced in managing delicate health needs and keeping medications securely stored but easily accessible for strict dosing schedules. Pet-First Layout: Our space is kept tidy and free of hazards, ensuring a smooth environment for all dogs, including those with limited mobility or vision. Trusted Environment: Because we do not have pets of our own, your dog doesn't have to worry about territorial stress—our home is entirely their sanctuary.

A typical day

Morning: A Gentle Start We are early risers here! Our day typically begins with a peaceful morning in the backyard. While we enjoy our morning coffee, your pup can explore the fresh air, stretch their legs, and enjoy some early morning sniffs and potty breaks under our watchful eyes. Mid-Day: Attentive Companionship Since we both work from home, the day is filled with consistent companionship. Whether your dog prefers to nap in a sunny spot near our desks or needs a mid-day leg stretch and a fresh bowl of water, we are here to provide it. This is also when we handle any specialized medical routines or scheduled medications with precision and care. Evening: Backyard Fun & "The Zoomies" Evenings are our favorite time of day. We love being outdoors, whether we are tending to the garden or relaxing by the pool. This is the perfect time for your pup to get their "zoomies" out! We are always happy to engage in a spirited game of fetch or offer some gentle playtime in our fully secured yard. Night: Wind-Down & Snuggles After the sun sets, we head inside for a cozy, secure evening. We ensure every guest feels entirely at home, loved, and settled in for a restful night’s sleep, ready to do it all again tomorrow.

Before Your Pup Arrives: Helping Us Provide the Best Care Every dog is unique, and we want to ensure their transition into our home is as seamless and joyful as possible. To help us prepare for a perfect visit, please share: Medical & Dietary Needs: Given our experience with diabetic and senior pets, we are very comfortable with strict schedules. Please detail any medication dosages, administration instructions (including injections), and specific dietary requirements or food sensitivities. Behavioral Quirks & Comfort: Does your dog have a "scary" sound like thunder or vacuum cleaners? Do they have a favorite way to be comforted? Knowing their "love language" helps us build trust quickly. Mobility & Vision: If your pet has limited sight or mobility issues, please let us know so we can ensure the home layout is optimized for their safety and confidence. The "Little Things": Whether it’s a specific potty command, a preference for where they sleep, or how they react to seeing a squirrel through the fence—no detail is too small! Our goal is to provide a comfortable, stress-free, and loving sanctuary for your furry friend. The more we know, the better we can make them feel right at home.
