Full-Time Puppy Snuggler 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi! We would love to watch your pups! My husband and I are both 30 years old living in a gorgeous house in the redwoods! We have a huge fenced in backyard which can be seen in the photos and lots of space inside. I’ve had dogs my entire life. In college, I would walk dogs and I always watch my friends’ dogs when they go away on vacation. I also worked at a boarding kennel/doggie daycare as an animal care technician and worked at Petsmart for 2 years as an animal care tech as well. I also work on a Whale Watching Boat and volunteer at the Marine Mammal Center, so feel free to ask any questions about the local wildlife. I have a very animal friendly home. We have two golden retrievers and a long haired 8 year old cat! I like to treat your pups like they’re our own pets, meaning they can basically do whatever they want haha. They’ll never feel more loved and cuddled than while they’re here, I promise you. 😂 We allow them on all furniture and beds unless requested not to. If they’re used to sleeping in a crate I’d say bring it :) I like to keep it like how it is at home so they’re comfortable. If they have a favorite bed or blanket also feel free to bring that! If you pup has anxiety, I also have a relaxing meditation sound machine that can play to promote calm energy :) I have a ton of experience with geriatric pets as well as giving medication. My dog growing up was diabetic and as a kid I administered shots often. All our treats are very healthy and we do not give rawhide or any splintering bones. We also sometimes prepare homemade chicken bone broth for the pups who are apprehensive about eating or picky eaters.

We used Taylor and Max to watch our dog this past weekend, and they were great! They stayed in touch, sent photos and made the whole process super easy! Will definitely use them again for future dates, and highly recommend!

Taylor and max were great! They gave me updates all the time and they responded super quick to all my inquiries. I really appreciate their help and I’m sure Tito was super happy during his stay at their house. I highly recommend them. Thanks again!

Yukon had a terrific stay with Taylor and Max. They were accommodating, Yukon was happy when I picked him up, and I got photos from his stay. Couldn’t ask for more!

Taylor and Max took great care of "our boys" Travis and Jameson! They sent pictures and we could see that the dogs were well cared for!

Policies: PLEASE READ BEFORE YOUR STAY. ♥️ Daycare: Each night the rate is $50 per day and must be picked up by no later than 7pm unless otherwise discussed. For later stays, a fee may be assessed to compensate extra care time and extended work hours. Boarding: The total boarding rate is $65.. Anytime after 5:30 pm pickup 5:30pm until 8pm pickup, I will be charging 50% of the stay rate in addition, so an extra $32.50 on top of the daily stay. (this can be situational so If you have any questions feel free to reach out). Anytime after 8 pm, that will count as an extra daily rate, or 100% of the stay, so double the rate, so $130. if you’re confused or have questions/concerns reach out and we’ll come to an understanding. All dogs must be potty trained, fully vaccinated with proof, and non- aggressive. If your dog doesn’t do well with cats, please let me know and I’ll put my cat in the back area of the house. Please have all animals vaccinated, including rabies, and flea medicine. I will accept puppies who are not neutered/spayed but cannot accept dogs who mark or are in heat. If you know your dog marks on new things please let me know. Due to the expanse of the business, I often have another dog or two at the time of your pups stay so please let me know if they need to be separate. To accommodate this, I have a kitchen area blocked by a baby gate and a door :) it’s a large area. I also have the backyard they can hang out in.
