Fun, Safe, Active Doggy Care!

Our four-legged animals are not just friends...they are family! I cannot remember a time without a dog by my sides. I currently have one wonderful border collie, Addie Girl, and welcome other furry friends for a visit or an extended stay. Since birth, my son has been taught to treat dogs and other animals with the utmost respect, and he loves them dearly! We are an active family who goes on frequent walks, runs, and adventures to the park to play ball/frisbee. We would love to include your dog in our daily activities. Additionally, we have a fenced yard so pups can have more frequent potty breaks and lounge outside. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have! ***Note: I have a young son, so pups must be safe around kids. Additionally, I have one well-behaved dog, so pups must also be safe around other dogs.

We are so thankful that Tavia accepted our request at the last minute! She is an awesome person and was great with our dog. He got lots of attention and exercise while in her care. He was exhausted when we picked him up which is always a good sign that he had tons of fun. We will definitely be seeing Tavia again and you should too!

Tavia deserves more than 5 stars! She took amazing care of my senior dog while we were out of town. I was nervous because it had been several years since I had left my old girl with someone, but as soon as we met Tavia we knew there was nothing to be nervous about. At 17 years old, my dog has to have very frequent potty breaks and also can’t do stairs any longer. Tavia was more than comfortable letting her out frequently, and even walked her down her backyard steps every single time. I am incredibly thankful and grateful I found her. Not many people would take on such an elderly and high needs dog, but she didn’t even hesitate. I got pictures, videos, and updates daily. I had zero concern while we were away. I knew my sweet old girl was in amazing hands with Tavia!!!

Tavia has kept our girl for multiple extended periods and takes excellent care of her. We feel so reassured when she’s with Tavia and family and know she has so much fun while there! Tavia herself is just wonderful, we are so appreciative of everything

Tavia was great! Highly communicative and had a really nice space for my 2 year old Labrador to call home for the holidays. He came back nice and tired, which is the dream!

Tavia was so great! This was our first time leaving Murphy with a sitter and she sent us daily updates and pictures that put us at ease. Would 100% recommend Tavia!

Schedule

I work from home every day and take daily runs and walks, so there is plenty of time to give dogs potty breaks and let them be active if that is part of their current schedule. Even if your dog enjoys lounging all day my work space has plenty of room for him/her to 'hang out'. I am happy to work with you on your ideal schedule for potty breaks, feeding, etc.
