Dog Lover❤️CFO-WFH🤩Park on block!

Dogs of every size have been apart of our family for 25 years. Golden’s, Doodles, Labs, Mini Dachshund. Work from home. Kids are in high school & college, so house is quiet for chunks of day and then super active for some of the day. Your furry baby plugs right into our family life while you enjoy a trip with no worries because your dog is on vacay too! 😍. Dogs bring joy to our day.

Tammy takes incredible care of our girl, Layla. We feel so comfortable leaving her there. The communication is top notch, and it’s clear that she has a wonderful time while there.

Another great stay for Roisin with Tammy. She is exhausted but in good form and Tammy updated me with pictures from the weekend. Roisin was nervous at first but warmed up once she knew she recognized the house. Thanks so much for taking good care of my baby!

Tammy is the absolute best with Atlas. I have such a relief when he’s in her home because I know he’s getting the best care.

Schedule

I work remote from my home office. I have total flexibility to take them out as often as needed. All my furry babies were 8 weeks old til dog heaven, so I am comfortable with all ages and sizes. Dogs are part of our tribe. We have Kong massager brush, therapy blankets, peanut butter puzzle pads, comfy dog beds, and most of all AFFECTION. We value and return their unconditional ❤️.

Safety, trust & environment

I have large single family home with pet turf out back and big park on corner. I have large SUV for trips to beach. 3 large dog beds, food bowls, tons of toys, fenced turf backyard. We are thoughtful in the mix of dogs we accept to ensure peaceful calm environment. Balance of small, medium, large dogs.

A typical day

Active family life, coming and going from house. Bring the dogs with if they luv ears flapping in the wind. Walks to park on the block, nap on the balcony while I grill and water flowers. Nap in my home office while I’m on virtual meetings. Light play with other dogs who I sit. Happy to share more when we chat.

Open to all dogs as long as they are house trained, well behaved. Our home is best for medium energy dogs who are friendly with other dogs. They do have 4000sft indoor space to spread out, as well outdoor space and park on the block. Son hangs on lower level, daughter hangs on main level, I’m in my office on top level. Can easily have 3 dogs per level since so much space. Dog gates incase anyone wants their space. All the sweet pups usually do like to sleep in my large suite 😂. They bring such joy to our life. Highest number of dogs is on days when pups are being dropped off and picked up, so I have my total number set higher. Often have pair of pups from same family and repeat clients whose pups are super comfortable and familiar; which makes it peaceful for new dog being acclimated with little stress.
