Pet care experience

Their home away from home

We have both had pets ever since we were kids and love having them around. We lost our dog of 11 years a little over a year ago, and have found how much we enjoy getting to meet and love on and take care of other peoples dogs. We treat them like family, but of course will adhere to your personal rules for how you would like them to behave, whether they are allowed on the furniture etc. In our house it’s OK :-) We live in a very walkable neighborhood, and enjoy being outside and walking the dog as well. We live in a townhouse, and have our own courtyard where they are welcome to relax and enjoy in addition to regular walks. Since we do allow more than one dog in our home at once, we only request that your dog gets along with other dogs in the event we have another guest staying at the same time.

Valerie and her husband are amazing with Bali—I never have to worry when they’re watching her.

Amazing as usual! Tucker has the best time when he’s there and I get updates every day. Valerie and Shannon make sure to always ask questions and keep his routine the same.

Valerie and Shannon always take such great care of Tucker! They are extremely responsive and send updates everyday. Tucker always gets so much love when he stays with them and never wants to leave. I never have to worry when I’m on vacation and love that they follow his normal routine. I will definitely continue having Tucker stay with them when I travel.

Valerie and her husband took such great care of Tucker and made me feel very comfortable leaving him for a week. They were very flexible with pick up/drop off and sent pictures/updates every day. Will definitely reach out for them to watch him in the future.

Schedule

My husband and I are a team doing this, so they get double the love! I work for myself as a professional photographer… So bonus you’ll get lots of snapshots :-) My husband is a physical therapist and works M-Th, which makes for lots of extra attention on the weekends.
