We offer a pretty chill home environment. I’m a wife/mother. My husband is a rockstar chef who travels. Our recently new-to-adulthood daughter still lives with us. She is an actress and college student who loves animals. Our resident dog Deli (lab mix) is gentle and enjoys overnight guests. We have been welcoming pets into our home since 2013. Everyone who stays here is part of the pack. • Our dog guests are free to roam our home and yard and make themselves comfortable, whether that be under my desk at my feet when I am on my computer, lounging on the furniture inside or outside, or finding a shady cool spot outdoors. • Can accommodate: Special Diets, Medication Administration, Exercise requirements • Dogs get at least two walks each day – morning (early before the heat of the day) and late evening. • Dogs have unlimited access to outdoor fenced yard through a doggie door. • Sleeping arrangements in my bedroom or with my daughter, depending on who your dog chooses as their go-to human • Outings – errands and park We have a house in Valley Village, CA with a large yard and a home that is welcoming to your pet. Our yard is comfortable and we spend a lot of time out there. My number one goal is to get your dog to a level of comfort right away. Bring your pet's bed, leash, dog food and favorite toy. We have organic, grain-free treats and lots of love and fun waiting for them. Most dogs will just hang close to us humans, following us around as part of our pack. If your dog is used to a schedule, please email me before the stay or provide written instructions I can put on my whiteboard. NOTE: If your dog is used to a crate in your own home, while I don’t normally crate our guests, I will ask that you please bring the crate. We can leave the crate open just in case your baby wants to go somewhere familiar. If you don’t normally use a crate, don’t bring it. We won’t use it. I have had dogs as part of my family for over 30 years. Deli is our third family pet and we rescued her 10 years ago. Before Deli, and the birth of my daughter, I had two wonderful rescues, California for 15 years and KC for 13 years. All our dogs have been Med-Large breeds. I do accept other dogs during your pet’s stay. If you believe your dog would not do well with other dogs, I will adjust the daily rate and close off my service to other guests. Rates are for a 24 hour period. Example: Drop off at 9am on Monday and pickup should be 9am on Wednesday. Please ask for a custom quote if you require a late pickup. Extended hourly charge is $3.25/hour. Second dog in the family gets a 15% discount. Ask for a custom quote. My Service In Your Home: If I come to your home, I usually spend about an hour with your dog and 30 minutes of it on a walk. We play, walk, rest and snuggle and I provide belly rubs, galore! Before I leave your place, I make sure your dog did it's business or we walk longer. If the business is handled quickly, there is more time for exercise and playtime, besides the walk. Leave a treat, and I'll make sure your little treasure gets it, plus I freshen the water and lock up. I offer KittyCare, too. Similar to my visit to your home for dogs, without the walk. I’ll spend about 30 minutes in your home. When I leave, if allowed, your cat will have receive love and attention. I talk to them the entire time I’m in the home – even if they are hiding, because I know they are listening. My visit will include cleaning the kitty litter, freshening the water and putting out food and treats. Yes – I will care for some other pets like birds, turtles and hamsters. Like Us on Facebook!
