Tell your dog I say hi!

Pet care experience

I've owned and cared for dogs for over 8 years. I've always treated them with love and respect. I figure if my dog is happy, then I'm happy. Life is just better with a dog! One of my favorite things to do is walk through the woods with a dog. I'd love to meet your dog and walk with them too! I have a flexible schedule and am sometimes available on a short notice. I can take care of your furry friend while you are out of town or just at work during the day. I have a very friendly labradoodle who makes best friends wherever he goes. If you'd like our dogs to meet, just let me know!

Ruty & Ivy were excellent pet sitters! Took our dog on walks, hikes, and to the beach. We loved seeing pics of what he was up to and we knew he was in good hands. Highly recommend these kind and active dog lovers!

Rutherford and Ivy are amazing doggy hosts. We got lots of pictures and knew that our pet was in good hands. Their own doggy was super happy and friendly. Thanks to both of them for a great stay!

We are so grateful for Rudy, Ivy, and Jasper who graciously welcomed our dog into their home. They sent frequent updates and pictures which put our minds at ease. Best of all, when we picked up our dog she was healthy and happy!

Amazing. Never felt so comfortable leaving my kids with someone I didn’t know. They went over and beyond.

Information Rutherford G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know important information about your dog, including any medication, special dietary restrictions, known stressors, if they become aggressive in certain situations, and what their favorite thing to do is!

A typical day

I can guarantee that any dog I am taking care of will get: 1) a morning walk about 1/2 a mile in length, 2) an adventure in the middle of the day (e.g. dog park, state park hike), and 3) an evening walk about 1/2 a mile in length. Of course, this depends on the dog's energy level and weather conditions. I love bringing dogs to the dog park and letting them socialize and sniff away to their heart's content.
