We need to know about your pet?

​

Their feeding routines (how much/how often, any special quirks), if they get along with other dogs (we have two small dogs), where they like to sleep, any allergies, are they on flea treatment & up to date on shots, are they territorial, do they chew things, if so what?.....(please no chewing on furniture).....  If you are a new customer, we will send you an intake form requesting all of this info and more.

 

We don't have breed preferences, but would like to know if we should be aware of any behavior concerns, aggressiveness, or otherwise.

 

We've dog sat many different breeds and they all provide their own personality... With that being said, we do have the most experience sitting/caring for small/medium dogs.

 

We have two small dogs of our own, they are both dachshunds but mostly keep to themselves.  We also have a puppy, Gus Gus, and he loves to play with anyone who will play with him. Fabio and Ellie have taught him to leave them alone when they don't want to play.

​

We love dogs of all sizes as long as they get along with our dogs and kids.

​

We have a doggy-proof home- all tile flooring with rugs that we will pick up if your dog is not fully potty trained. Lots of doggy beds to share, a big comfy couch that dogs can relax on with us, and tons of toys and blankets, too.

 

We have a large, fully-fenced-in yard that dogs love to explore and play in. We also have a gate by our front door to prevent accidental escapes as we are entering/exiting our home.

When we watch your pet

 

Your dog will join our pack and be treated like family.  They are allowed on beds and couches (unless you don't want them to, in which case we will follow your rules).  We can take them on a walk, or let them run around and play in the backyard.  They typically like to sleep next to me while I'm working, but we go outside for frequent potty breaks.  In the evening they also like to curl up on the couch with us or hang outside when its cool.

​

Your dog's sleeping arrangement

That's up to you.

Some dogs sleep in our bed with us (or with our kids--they love having guest dogs sleep with them), some bring their dog beds over and sleep in those, others bring crates over and they sleep in there, or we have a couch available too.

 

We like our guests to sleep however they are used to sleeping and we want everyone to have a good night's sleep so we will let them sleep where they are most comfortable.

 

We know leaving your dog someplace new can be stressful for them so we try to keep their routines similar to what they'd have at home.

​

The time we spend with your dog

We plan on spending as much time as possible with them. When dogs stay with us they become part of our family, cuddle with us on the couch, play outside, eat, take naps, & go on walks with us.

 

My wife and I both love dogs and try to spend as much time as we can with them. I usually work from home M-F, although occasionally I do need to go into the office and/or maybe busy on zoom meetings off/on during the week.

 

My wife's schedule varies, but generally will be home a couple of days during the week and weekends. There may occasionally be times where the dogs would be left alone, indoors for a little while.

 

It would never be longer than a couple of hours, and we have a doggy door so the dogs are able to go in and out of the house as much as they like. If you prefer we can close the back door and leave them indoors only. You tell us and we will make it happen.
