Your pup will feel at home!
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs in the family my entire life, and can’t imagine going day to day without a fur-baby around! I’ve been dog sitting family and friends’ dogs for most of my life. They tend to leave me happy, well-loved, and sometimes even knowing a new trick! I’ve cared for dogs from puppies to seniors, and I have experience caring for seniors with special needs as well. My priority is to make your dog feel loved and safe, and for them to have a great time! My partner, Marco, and I have our own sweet fur-baby, Sonnet. She is a small curly fluff with a big personality. She loves birds, fetch, and reserving some “me time” when she wants a good nap. I trained her as a puppy (basics and tricks). We have a good amount of space in our house, a small enclosed outdoor deck, and a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run and play! Your pup will have a fun and stimulating stay here! There are great neighborhood walks in the area, a fully fenced backyard to play in, and a toy basket filled with goodies. I’m also happy to practice training with your pup while they’re here if you’d like - just let me know!
Reviews
Tosca was wonderful with our dog. I will definitely use her again!
Great communication and responsiveness. Thank you for caring for her and giving her a safe and long walk.
Tosca did an amazing job taking care of our puppy. Our puppy developed a medical issue while we were away, and Tosca handled it so well- contacting our Vet and administering medication. She sent daily updates and pictures. It was so nice to be able to relax on our trip knowing our puppy was in great hands.
Tosca is amazing! We are SO grateful Tikka got to know her! Tosca responded to our initial booking request very quickly and was incredibly understanding and accommodating when we needed to extend our stay for another night. She sent us daily updates on how things were going— including lots of cute photos and videos and seemed to truly love our pup, Tikka, is sweet but can also be willful and anxious. and Tosca wasn't phased by any of it. Tikka seemed really happy and well cared for and got lots of walks, and playtime. And, she made do when I completely forgot to pack Tikka's food and water dish (So Sorry!) If she's up for it, we'd love to have Tosca take care of Tikka again in the future!
