My love for dogs began in childhood—I grew up surrounded by them, and they’ve been part of my life ever since. Over 20 years ago, I owned and ran my own kennel, and for the past 7 years I worked as a professional dog sitter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Today, looking after dogs is something our whole family enjoys. Our two teenage sons (15 and 16) have grown up with dogs since the day they were born. They love playing, cuddling, brushing, and spending time with every furry guest. My husband is also part of our little team, helping with walks, playtime, and making sure every dog feels safe, relaxed, and loved. Our own dog, Luna, is a friendly German Shepherd we adopted from a shelter. She has taught us even more about patience, understanding, and building trust. Because every dog is different, we always arrange a meet-and-greet before the first stay. I work from home most of the time, so your dog will rarely be left alone. They’ll enjoy plenty of company, affection, and supervision throughout the day. Our home has a secure, fully fenced backyard and a doggy door, so dogs can move freely between the house and the yard whenever they like. Our furry guests quickly become part of everyday family life. Whether we’re gardening, doing chores around the house, relaxing in the backyard, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon, there’s always time for cuddles, games, belly rubs, and plenty of attention. Inside, dogs are treated just like family. There are comfy beds throughout the house, and if you allow it, they’re welcome on the couch. If your dog normally sleeps in the bedroom with people, we’re happy to keep that routine too—we know how comforting familiar habits can be while you’re away. Every day includes walks, backyard play, and, with your permission, trips to beautiful dog-friendly beaches. We also have a fully fenced off-leash dog park just a few minutes away, perfect for safe play and exercise. My goal is simple: when you come to collect your best friend, you’ll be greeted by a happy, relaxed dog who has been loved as if they were one of our own.
