Run, play, and cuddle the day away

Natalia and I both have had dogs for most of our lives and get tons of joy from being around dogs all the time. We even met each other with our dogs. Life with Pepper, our miniature dachshund, is full of laughs, strolling around the neighborhood, and endless cuddling. She is always making us laugh with her larger than life personality. We plan to get another dog, and in the meantime, we would be happy to hang out with yours if you need a sitter while you head out of town. Pepper loves dogs, and they will be running around and cuddling and playing most of the day. Pepper has lived with dogs before and likes to have friends over. We look forward to helping out with your pup! Update: Welcome to Lola, our new lab rescue! Update 2026: Sadly, Pepper crossed the rainbow bridge in 2024, and now we have a wonderful scruffy rescue, Tallulah! Stay tuned for added photos as we move along!

Natalia, Steve & Pepper were wonderful hosts! I personally get a bit anxious leaving our dog, Levi as he has some behavior quirks, but they put me at total ease this weekend! Him sleeping for about 10 hours straight when he got home leads me to believe he had a great time! Will definitely book again. Thank you Natalia & Steve!

Poe had a great time with Steve, Natalia and Pepper. He was really sad to leave Pepper! Natalia sent me a ton of pics, and videos of them playing. She even made a little bed next to Pepper for him. Poe will definitely be revisiting!

Steve is absolutely what Rover has been missing. Great with dogs and just a flat out great dude. He and his wife are awesome along with their dog Pepper.
