Highlights
Pet care experience
Huge Fenced Yard + Work From Home
I've been sitting and walking dogs in the neighborhood for three years now. I have experience with dogs of all different sizes, breeds, and ages. As a pet owner myself, I know that your dog is a part of the family. I treat every dog as if it were my own. My house is not a kennel. When your dog is here, they become a part of my home and my routine: watching movies on the couch with me, chilling outside in the backyard, even hanging out with my friends. I like to build relationships with the dogs I host in my house.

Ratings and reviews
My grand-dog Bruno had a wonderful experience with Travis and Guille. They have a very clean home and a yard with a tall fence for dogs to play. They are very helpful with crates, special food and keeping in touch. Importantly, they work from home often so the dogs are not often left alone. I highly recommend them. Bruno is a 90 pound, playful fellow. They were up for the task and I think Bruno was sad to leave them. 5 Stars!!!!!!!!!!
Travis and Carlos are truly Daisy’s favorite sitters! Every time she sees Travis, her tail goes wild and she gets so excited and hyper knowing she's spending the weekend with them. They are incredibly gentle with her, playful, and attentive—Daisy always comes home happy, well-exercised, and full of cuddles. It’s clear she feels safe and loved in their care. We trust Travis completely and feel so lucky to have him as Daisy’s go-to sitter. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver!
Our dog loves Travis, and he’s always taken excellent care of her. We really appreciate knowing that she’s in good hands when we leave her with him, knowing that she’s safe and happy gives us peace of mind d when we’re away.

Schedule
I work from home which means your dog will have round-the-clock attention and care. I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet's routine. I wake up early and love to take long walks in the morning with the dogs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a huge fenced yard with plenty of space for your dog to roam and play off-leash. I live right next to the Croydon Nature Center / Glenview Mansion / Rock Creek area, which is where I like to take the dogs on walks on the hiking trails in the woods, alongside the river. At home, dogs are treated like family. They are allowed on the couch and have free reign of the downstairs. We keep them separated from our two cats which stay mostly upstairs. My house is a safe place for dogs of all ages, unfortunately I do not accept puppies under 2 years old. I review dog requests carefully to make sure all dogs will get along in the house. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medication. Unfortunately, I am unable to handle aggressive dogs or dogs that don't get along with other animals at this time.

A typical day
I usually start my day with coffee and a long walk with the dogs. While I’m working from home, dogs have plenty of time to play in the backyard outside. I provide end of day walks after dinner.
