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 full time at home and only host at most two dogs from the same family at the same time. This ensures that your pooch will be comfortable with us and have a lot of consistent interaction. 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 friendly adult border collie/cattle dog who is social and playful and used to living with an older dog. 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.
Reviews
Thanks Sophie for taking good care of our dog Hobbes! We had Sophie watch Hobbes while we attended a concert in Berkeley. We had drinks at a spot in Oakland beforehand and her place was a quick stop on the way to the venue. Hobbes seemed to have a blast playing while there. She shared some photos which was a nice touch. We will gladly reach out again if we need pet sitting in the area.
Sophia was great, and did a wonderful job caring for both Odo and Trixie. Trixie took some extra care, as she's a senior dog, and Sophia was very accommodating. Would definitely book with her again the future.
Fantastic care, as always!!! Ollie loves staying with you!
As always, absolute stellar love and care for our pup! We are so grateful 💚

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; however we also have a super senior dog who is low vision/low hearing and has mobility issues. Most likely 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.
