Pet care experience

Dog lovers, WFH

My partner and I have cared for two dogs in the past when their owners have gone out of town. We love giving dogs attention, taking them for walks, and playing with them. We both work from home so the dog(s) will have someone there all day. We would follow the dog's eating and/or activity schedule in order to keep the dog in its routine as much as possible. Walter is a runner and frequently runs down by the lake and around the neighborhood and he would love to be able to take your dog for a run. We have experience with administering oral medication and with senior dogs.

Sarah and Walter were so great with our pup, Milo. He’s leash reactive and they had no problem handling that. They also provided updates and pictures throughout his stay which we really appreciated. Looking forward to using them again soon!

Thanks Walter for doing a meet and greet with our husky mix, Comet. You handled his energy really well during a longer 6-hour stay. Appreciate you keeping him on his walk schedule and helping him stay calm - he was so mellow when we got home. I’d happily book again! 😊

Walter and Sarah provided such good care to our pup! They did a house sit for us and were incredibly responsive, provided good updates, and made our anxious dog feel very comfortable. Walter took Bluebell for runs, an activity she loves! And when they left, they left some calming jazz music on to keep her company. We would definitely work with Walter and Sarah again!
