Full-time Dog Mom/Marathon Runner

Pet care experience

My grandpa changed my life when he gave me my first puppy (a Vizla) for my fourth birthday. Since that day, I have yet to find anything that I love more than caring for my dogs. I have two decades of experience caring for an owning high energy dog breeds. Currently, my partner and I have a 10 month old German Shorthaired Pointer named Finn who has never met a dog he didn't like. If you suffer from a bit of separation anxiety from your fur baby like we do, I can promise they will be looked after like they are part of the family. Both my partner and I work from home. We are both marathon runners so we are very active. We love to take our pup for long walks and trips to the local dog parks. We are always available unless we are traveling to race somewhere around the country. We have one dog; a 10 month old GSP. He is not crate trained and sleeps in bed with us. Dogs are welcome on furniture and have free rein in the house. We have a fenced in pack yard, but prefer to go on long walks and to the dog park so that Finn can really run and play. We are happy to accommodate any needs for your pet.

Sydney and Andrew took such great care of our dog and were patient with all of his puppy behaviors! He had so much fun playing with their two dogs in the backyard, and the updates they sent gave us peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely get in touch the next time we are out of town!

Sydney & Ariane were amazing! Our Ziggy, also a GSP, had such a fun, active weekend with Finn and Ranger. We would recommend them to anyone! Thank you again!

Sydney and Ariane were AMAZING. They provided the best care for our doggo and fulfilled his dreams by spending the whole day outside by their side, playing with their puppers. Would book again.

Information Sydney D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior issues that you may be working on so that I can help reinforce any training you may be doing at home.

A typical day

Most days start with a 3-4 mile walk around our Ferndale neighborhood followed by breakfast and then some play time. In the early afternoons, we go for a shorter walk depending on weather. Around dinner time, we usually go for another 3 mile walk around the neighborhood. Our GSP loves to play pretty much every waking minute and so we hope that your doggo and our crazy boy will enjoy chasing each other around the yard or playing with one of his thousands of toys.
