Not only did Ted accommodate my last minute request, he also took care of him a couple hours extra because of an emergency. He sent periodic updates and pictures. Thank you again!

He was great! I didn’t worry at all. He sent updates and pictures daily. My dog was treated like part of the family. Highly recommend.

Ted accommodated my last minute request, asked all the right questions at drop off and kept me updated with pictures of my goofball. At pick up Ollie didn’t seem to want to leave so I know he had a great time. I will definitely re-book!!

Sophie really enjoyed her stay with Ted, We were so worried because we rarely Send her to pet sitters & she is so used to being with just our family & not around any other animals so we were not sure how she would do but based on the pictures & messages that Ted sent she did well & had a good time.. It always gives myself & my husband a bit of anxiety when dropping Sophie off to a new sitter but from the moment we met Ted & his wife we felt at ease & knew Sophie was in good hands..Sophie will definitely hang out with Ted & his Family again..

Ted does a great job of caring for dogs and cats. He is kind person with a good heart. Animals sense his good nature and respond positively to him. He is great at keeping the dogs active with lots of daily walks and also runs (only if the dog is up for it!). When I am out of town he does a fantastic job caring for my pooch!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard but prefer to keep pets inside with my dog and cat. They can all play and rest together. I walk my dog two or three times a day, so I would take your dog with us. I also enjoy running and would love to run your dog if they are up to it.

Pets

A typical day

I love to get the dogs outside in my neighborhood for long walks and/ or runs. I prefer to take them out early in the morning, late in afternoon, and then one last walk at sunset. Exercise is good for everyone! Sometimes we stop at the park to sniff and play. I also play fetch with dogs in my backyard. We have treats after each walk. In between the walks the dogs rest in my living room alongside my dog in a doggie bed. I provide a blanket if they like to burrow ( my dog does!). After dinner and the last walk we all stay inside and relax together. Your dog will hang out with me and my pets and my family in the living room. At bedtime the dogs all sleep in the living room in doggie beds alongside my dog.

I need to know if your dog is leash trained, potty trained, and used to other dogs and can tolerate cats. I need to make sure your dog behaves properly when we are out walking if they see other dogs and people. I live in a family oriented neighborhood where dogs and kids are outside all the time.
