We are a fun, vibrant family who love pets. And pet sitting on a schedule we approve was perfect to add more pet personalities into our lives! We have a large house with plenty of rooms and moveable gates if your baby needs some private time. We lost our sweet Golden Retriever, Willow in July 2023. But we adopted a puppy in November 2024. Luna, our black lab, is 7 months old now (March 2024). She is good with our guest dogs but she is high energy and a puppy. Over the past 5 months, we have worked on training her to listen when we tell her stop, we give her time outs if a guest has had too much Luna love. And she is getting better all the time at doggie communication. So as long as your dog is not aggressively reactionary, they will be comfortable here. We also have 2 cats -one black bombay cat-Ninja (4 years old-2024) - and Maine Coon (1 year old-2024)- both have always lived with a dog sibling. Maine Coons are known for their playful and easy nature, and this guy has no fear of the dog guests. He will speak to them about how to treat him, but only swats if they try to chase. And black cats - well - they are as cool as they look. He can take care of himself but will not be mean. He will be curious and can escape as he needs. We have 2 younger kids who grew up with pets all their lives. They are taught to respect and read a pets cues, to take care of their needs and how to gently love them. We have a large-ish fenced in back yard. And can provide temporary extra fencing at the front gate which has larger gaps to accommodate our smaller visitors. We both work full time but we work about 8-10 minutes from home, so we can come home to play, walk and check in on our puppy guests at lunch. Peter works from home 3-4 days a week, and I get to work from home 1 day, so there is usually only one potential day a week that we both have to go into the office. Weekends of course are open for family, our pets and our sweet guest pets :) We rarely have full day weekend commitments and will block our calendar if we feel all of us will be out of the house too long to make a guest safe and comfortable. Unfortunately, we do not have a schedule that can suit regular dog walking clients, but we are happy to sub for your regular dog walker if they need to go on vacation. Come and play with us!
