Pet care experience

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 wonderful and made us feel at ease to have Cane in their care. Quick communicators, sent cute pics and treated our girl great :) looking forward to booking with them again soon.

Chachi had a nice time and felt safe and comfy with plenty of beds and blankets. It was good weather and he had a long walk with a lot of pees, poops and sniffs.

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!
