Availability

I have a flexible schedule and enjoy providing a comfortable home-away-from-home experience for dogs visiting Sedona. My routine includes time at home, outdoor activities, and exploring the area, while making sure each dog’s needs and comfort level come first. I especially enjoy caring for dogs who are happy to relax in a home environment and enjoy being part of a calm daily routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced back patio and no pets of my own, which allows me to give each dog plenty of individual attention. I want every dog to feel comfortable and safe while staying in my home, so I take time to make sure each booking is a good fit. I am especially suited for dogs who are house trained, comfortable in a home environment, and able to settle into a normal daily routine. Please let me know about any special needs, anxiety, or behaviors that may affect your dog's stay so I can provide the best possible care.

Information Vlad B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dog's personality and routine before booking. A few things that are helpful to know: * Is your dog comfortable being left alone for short periods of time? * Has your dog stayed overnight somewhere other than home before? * Is your dog house trained and comfortable in a new environment? * Does your dog have any anxiety, excessive barking, or behaviors I should be aware of? * Does your dog get along well with other dogs and enjoy social settings? * Is your dog crate trained, and will you be providing a crate if needed? * Does your dog enjoy outdoor activities, walks, water, or other adventures?

A typical day

A typical day includes a mix of relaxing at home, walks, and enjoying the outdoors. I spend a lot of time exploring Sedona, including cooler areas around the canyon during the summer, and I enjoy giving dogs the opportunity to experience new sights and smells at a comfortable pace. For dogs who enjoy outings, I like visiting dog-friendly cafes and exploring the area. I always consider each dog's personality and comfort level—some dogs love adventures, while others are happiest relaxing at home with attention and companionship.

Pet care experience

I like poetry, sunsets, and long walks on the beach. None of which matters to your pet - except maybe the long walks on the beach. Which would be nice, if I lived near the beach. Note: I have found that every dog has a different personality and level of independence, so I like to make sure each stay is a good fit. I am especially well suited for dogs who are comfortable relaxing in a home environment, are house trained, and can handle a normal daily routine with some time on their own. I enjoy caring for dogs who are friendly, well-mannered, and enjoy being part of my daily activities. I have experience with dogs of many ages and sizes, including puppies, seniors, and multi-dog households. I always do my best to provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress experience while treating each dog as an individual. If your dog has special needs, separation anxiety, unusual behaviors, or requires extra supervision, please let me know before booking so we can make sure I can provide the best care possible.

Vlad was amazing with my little dog who can be stand-offish with new people ;), she really liked him and I felt very comfortable having him stay with her. 5+ stars!

Vlad did a great job dealing with my boys (sorry about the crazy Moose). Thanks again for covering on short notice.

Vlad was very accomodating. He showed up as agreed to let the dogs out and everything went fine.
