Play, Rest, Repeat

🐾 Play | Rest | Repeat 🐾 I’ve always had an easy, natural relationship with dogs. I genuinely enjoy being around them — whether that means a long walk, time at the park, playing until they’re happily worn out, or just letting them relax and do their thing. There’s something very satisfying about a dog who’s had a full day especially when the zoomies are done, the sniffing is complete, and they settle onto the couch like they accomplished something important. That’s the vibe here. My goal is simple: your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away and goes home happy. 🐾 Meet Cooper 🐾 We have an Australian Shepherd named Cooper or “Coopie,” as I call him. He’s good with kids, dogs, and cats. He’s energetic and enjoys playing, but he’s just as happy lounging on the couch or doing his own thing. He’s well socialized and not aggressive. Like any dog, he adjusts his energy depending on who he’s interacting with; some become play buddies, others just coexist peacefully. I always supervise introductions and make sure everyone is comfortable. We do walk Coopie off leash when appropriate, but that does not mean your dog has to be. Every dog’s comfort level and training is different, and I respect that. A Few Things to Know • Boarding is based on a 24-hour window (example: drop-off at 10am, pick-up by 10am). • Communication matters, so if you need specific timing or accommodations, just let me know in advance. • Meet & greets are strongly preferred so everyone feels comfortable before booking. Our Schedule I’m home during the day and handle the majority of care and supervision. Lawrence works in-office, so your pup will primarily be with me. They’ll be part of the normal daily routine here which includes breaks, play, and downtime included. I may run short errands occasionally, but long stretches alone aren’t common. We welcome any questions or if you want to talk through your dog’s routine, feel free to message me before booking! 🩷

Macie had such a great time. She loved playing with Cooper and Quintessa sent lots of updates. We absolutely recommend her and we will be booking again.

Quintessa was the best sitter to Orzo. She made sure my dog had lots of exercise and entertainment! She also provided pictures daily!

I can’t thank enough Tessa and Matthew for taking such a great care of Duke. They are attentive, responsive and trying to engage Duke as much as they can. This was the fifth (or more) stay for Duke with them, and I believe the third long (10 days) stay, and everything was amazing as usual. I highly recommend Tessa for your pup, it will be a peace of mind for you and a lot of fun for your dog!

Quintessa is an incredible dog sitter! She took such good care of our dog Pearl and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy during her entire stay. Quintessa is great with communication, sending updates, providing so much love to dogs and such a sweetheart! We will definitely be booking with her again!

Quintessa and her boyfriend were wonderful hosts to our dog. Throughout the stay I received updates and photos about her well being. I never felt concerned if she was being cared for. They have a fenced in backyard which I'm sure my dog loved when it was sunny outside. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Schedule

I do work full-time and my boyfriend helps me out with the pups. His schedule is much more flexible than mine. On average you can expect for you pup to be left alone for no more than 4 hours. We can try our best to make accommodations if needed.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in backyard that pups can have outside freedom. We will always be outside with them and never leave them to fend for themselves against the squirrels.

Pets

A typical day

We map all the walks that we take with our pups. There are several dog parks in the area, so we wouldn't mind at all taking a stroll to meet some new friends. If your dog isn't much of a social butterfly, then we could always go for walks around the neighborhood, play in my fenced in yard, or interactive games. If your dog can guess the number of treats in my treat bowl, your dog can have them ALL!
