Information Sophia D. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any special needs? Are they good with dogs/senior dogs? We have an adult dog who is very well-socialized and would love to host your dog. We will need to meet your pup and/or have a discussion beforehand to make sure they are compatible with our household.

A typical day

fetch, Frisbee catching, find the toy, tug, puzzles, sniffle mats, neighborhood off leashed and fenced in dog park, walks on the sidewalk, exploring our neighborhood, exploring the nearby trails. For our senior buddies, we do sloooooow walks, plenty of time to sniff, potty breaks, snuggles, comfy orthopedic beds, elevated food bowls, and warm sunny spots indoors and outdoors.

Pet care experience

We are an active couple who love dogs and spending time with dogs. We spend a lot of time outdoors and love to go on hikes, explore parks and neighborhoods. We both work at home. We will spend time outside exploring our neighborhood or visiting the local dog park and trails. We love playing fetch, teaching and practicing new and old tricks. We have a senior border collie/cattle dog who is social and playful and respectful. We are experienced with (and have a soft spot) for senior dogs. Please introduce yourself and see if we are the right place for your pooch's home away from home. We both work full-time at home so are flexible with drop off and pick up times and will be home if your pup needs anything. We have a fenced in back-yard and a sunny balcony that is a favorite place for the dogs to lounge and watch the world go by.

Sophia is absolutely wonderful. My dog has never been so relaxed and happy at pick-up. Sophia was great with administering medicine, and handling her health quirks. She was very communicative. I did not feel worry at all. My dog was very well looked after.
