Your dog's home away from home!

Pet care experience

We offer discounts on stays longer than 4 days. Your dog will be loved and cared for as if it were my own dog Tiramisu! They will have all of the ear scratches and belly rubs it could ever want. Ours is an all girl home so if your dog has a fear of men then the fur baby would be content here. We do have cats so your dog being cat savvy is a must. Our animals are welcome to sleep with us in our beds and yours would be too if that is something they are used to. We are also not fans of kennels and do not use them with our own animals, but can if you prefer your dog to be in one. We are willing to go above and beyond for your fur baby to make them feel right at home while you are away. Also know that the prices are not fixed. If your dog is under a year and is house trained it gets the adult price. About this sitter: I am willing to watch your dog in your home to make your time away from your animal easier on him/ her. Keeping your dog in it's natural environment can ease the strain on your dog(s) and prevent stress caused by separation. I hope to help your dog(s) feel comfortable and happy while you are away. They will be loved like they were my own fur babies. I am also completely open to having my dog come to play with your dog if you would like. We could even arrange play dates if they get along swimmingly. I am more than willing to do anything to make your animals happy. Also know that your dog will be walked once for free each day I watch it. Dog walking prices are for overly active dogs and for people who JUST want their dog walked not dog-sat. I have been pet sitting for 8+ years Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs my whole life. I grew up with a golden retriever, a black lab, and a mutt for 8 years. Then I spent 3 years of my life with a Pomeranian named Molly who is my god father's dog. I currently have one wonderful dog named Teramisu who I rescued from the shelter and have had since she was 9 months old. I love her very much. I have spent a lot of time dog sitting both full grown dogs and puppies as well. Meet my pets 3 cats About my yard I sadly do not have one right now. Or rather I have no personal yard. I live in a complex with a lot of green space and walking trials. I also live down the street from a really nice dog park as well.

Took excellent care of our dog and kept us constantly updated on how he was doing. Will definitely recommend.

Sterling and Misty took great care of our kitty and getting our mail while we were gone for 10 days. She kept me updated regularly and responded quickly when I'd text her. One day when Matilda was feeling a little bit lonely she stayed with her for a long time playing and petting and loving her. We had a great vacation and didn't have to worry about our home or our kitty, knowing that they were being taken care of.

Kodi had a great stay. Sterling was very accommodating to my last minute travel plans. If she'd have him, I'd have no problems letting Kodi come for another visit sometime.

Information Sterling M. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference but would like to know if it has treat or resource guarding issues and weather or not it is/ they are good with cats. Being good with cats is a must to stay at my home. I would also like to know if it has any places it does not like to be touched. The quirks that make your dog different that need to be addressed to make it a happy stay.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Either in the large back field or down nearby streets. I don't trust dog parks because of how many horrible incidences I have heard about lately. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Either in it's kennel (you bring) or in a doggy bed or on my bed. It is up to you. Where ever it would normally sleep at your house is where it would be in mine. Time I'll spend with your dog All day and all night. There are 4 people in my house including me. The dog would never be alone. I will be with him/ her the whole time. Time I'll spend with your dog As much as possible
