Pet care experience
Fenced Yard, Parks, Great Care
There's no place like home but if you can't be there, your pets should be here. I take the responsibility very seriously of providing outstanding care and ensuring the safety of your pets during their stay. **I understand how to reduce the separation anxiety that many animals experience when away from their owners helping them to be comfortable. Whether you’re going on vacation, buisness trip or just need a hand, I'm available and dedicated to making sure you won't need to worry about them at all. Pets aren't left alone in the yard or otherwise and doors are always secured. My top priorities are the exact same as yours: the safety, comfort and happiness of your friends during their stay, When they're here, they're family. I have extra dog beds, bowls and plenty of toys around for them. When we're out walking, I pay special attention to the surroundings to watch out for other dogs that are off of their leashes roaming, bike riders etc... You can let me know if there are activities they especially enjoy...walks, playing catch, afternoon naps etc...and I'll take care of the rest. If your pet has some reactivity issues during walking or other activities, I'll keep an eye out for it so there are no problems. Many pets who visit are endlessly entertained by all of the action at the park directly across the street. They'll spend time sitting at the front window watching everything that passes by, There's no need for your pup to be crate or cage trained but it's fine if they are. One of the absolute great features here are the various ramps we have leading inside and outside for pets that are older or have mobility issues. I've had many dogs, cats and others at all different energy and age levels throughout my life including beagles, pitbulls, poodles, cats and many others. I'll care for yours the same as if they were my own, giving them the attention they deserve so they don't experience any anxiety. They'll be allowed to hang out pretty much all over the house, including sitting on the couch if you allow it. If your pup loves walks, parks, creeks, playing catch and fenced yards, this is the right place for them. I currently don’t have any pets of my own and I'd be happy to care for yours. If you've been searching for the right place, you've found it. I'm always available to schedule a meet and greet for introductions. If you have a chance, please check out the photo gallery to see some of our buddies enjoying their time in the house, the parks and surroundings etc... If you would like any other information or have any questions, please feel free to get in touch anytime. Thank you again for your time and consideration. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Ratings and reviews
Great communicator and tired out our doggo!
Todd took great care of both dogs for the week. He shared plenty of pictures of them on walks and inspecting his fenced yard. Particularly appreciated him overseeing the dogs eating since we were working on one not grazing the other’s food. Todd was quick to respond to my questions. Pups were healthy and happy when picked up; wonderful time together.
Risotto knows when his buddy Todd is coming by to walk him. :) Todd was especially understanding of the fact that Risotto had just had surgery and was very careful with him. Risotto sometimes barks at people walking past the house, but now does not bark at all when Todd comes by to take him for a walk...that's the level of consistency and steadfastness that ALL dogs need, so if you need someone who will take really good care of your pup, Todd is fantastic! Thank you!
I am very careful about who watches, walks or stays with my dogs. Todd was very communicative at the last minute for me when I found myself in a challenging situation with my pet sitting needs. I have a highly energetic, but well-behaved Beagle/Shepherd mix puppy who is not neutered yet, so finding care for him is a little challenging. Todd was prompt, knowledgable and my puppy responded very positively to him. Todd is consistent and clearly loves dogs the way that dogs need to be loved: consistency, calmness and commitment. I would highly recommend him if you're looking for a great partner in caring for your doggos!
Todd is wonderful for boarding our dogs. Although Pepper, the male dog, is scared of everything due to his trauma of being a street dog in Oman, Pepper became comfortable with Todd in less than 10 minutes. Todd took our dogs for a walk to the park next to his house almost every day and our dogs were having a good time walking in the forest. Our dogs love to go out in the backyard. Todd's fenced backyard gave a nice playground for our dogs. Thank you, Todd !!
Todd took great care of Sunny. He has a comfortable home and it was an exiting time for Sunny to meet new human friends and doggie friends. Todd made the effort to take Sunny on long walks in the park. I’m sure that made Sunny happy. I would highly recommend Todd as a sitter!

Schedule
I always take the time to make sure that all pets receive the attention they deserve. I know there are many options when it comes to having your pet cared for while you're away. That's why I always make my best effort to provide a great atmosphere and experience when they visit. I'm usually around and available most of the time and do my best to be flexible with schedules. You don't have to worry about being early or late with drop-offs and pick- ups, we can always ar keep everything as convenient as possible. My main goals are to always keep your pets safe, happy and comfortable at all times.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Now you can finally take the trip you've been waiting to take. There's nothing better than spending time away without the anxiety of worrying about your pet’s safety and happiness. That's my focus. I try to keep them occupied with various activities during the day and evening. They have a fenced yard to explore and play in, a park right across the street where we take long walks, extended trails with a creek area to explore, and more. If your dog occasionally acts uncomfortable or anxious around other dogs or people, I'll make sure to walk them in isolated-unpopulated areas. I've had a few dogs just like this so I understand how to work with these situations. I always keep things safe as my first priority. If pets don't seem to get along that well, they can remain separated as necessary. There's plenty of room here and I make sure everything is dog proof, including making sure there's nothing they can get into on the counters or floors.( I know some dogs are like magicians and are very good at reaching things anywhere) If you have any questions or would like any other information please let me know anytime. I do my very best to make any stay for pets enjoyable and safe.
A typical day
I like to begin the day with a good long walk to let them stretch their legs and get a little energy out. They might run around the yard or play catch for a bit after that. A rest after that and then we hang out. I'll follow your instructions exactly for feeding etc. We also have many comfortable, safe spots in our house that your pet can explore . If your pet needs extra exercise, no need to worry, we'll go for another walk at a park later.

- " Dogs may not be our whole life, but they make our life whole " Is your pet especially sensitive to thunder storms etc...Are there special needs or any specific medication protocol? Is your pet is basically friendly and generally good natured ( I understand that most dogs can be anxious and slightly nervous around other animals so I'm very careful and cautious) **We do have front and back ramps for easy access that makes it especially helpful for geriatric pets or ones that have mobility issues that make it difficult to use stairs. It helps pets get around very easily, both in and out while creating less physical stress.
