Information Toby & Ellen S. would like to know about your pet

All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations. We require a meet and greet before accepting any new dog. This helps us make sure everyone is a good fit, including Bella and Reggie. 🐾 Dogs must be at least 6 months old. 🐾 Please let us know about any behavior concerns, medical needs, or special requirements ahead of time. No surprises means better care for your pup. 🐾 We strongly recommend dogs be on a flea and tick preventative. Guajome Park, where we occasionally walk, is known to have ticks in the area. 🐾 We do have cats inside. If your dog is known to be unfriendly with cats please let us know ahead of time. If you are unsure, that is something we can discuss at the meet and greet. 🐾 If you have a preferred emergency vet please share their contact. If not we have one we trust and will use if ever needed. 🐾 If you would like your dog fed during the day please provide food and feeding instructions and we will follow your routine.

A typical day

Your dog will spend the day in our large fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, explore, and play. When it's time to rest, there is a shaded pergola with raised dog cots and fresh water always available. 🐾 During the day, your dog will enjoy walks and playtime, either around the neighborhood or at nearby Guajome Park. Since I work from home full-time, your dog will have supervision, companionship, and plenty of attention throughout the day. 🐾 Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment where your dog feels right at home.

Pet care experience

As a USMC veteran and lifelong dog owner, dogs have always been a big part of my life. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. 🐾 I am a dog adoption coach and volunteer dog handler with Labs and More Rescue in San Diego. Through my rescue work, I've gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. 🐾 My wife, Ellen, is a former Humane Law Enforcement Officer and lifelong animal lover. She has extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats and shares my passion for animal welfare. 🐾 Over the years, we've cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. We currently share our home with two rescue dogs and three indoor cats. 🐾 We know that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pet feels at home while you're away.
