In-Home Dog Sitting
Your dog stays in our family home in Aurora — sleeping on the couch, lounging in the sun, getting belly rubs whenever they wander over. No cages, no concrete runs, no shift-change strangers.
A real home, not a kennel.
Overview
In-home dog sitting is the heart of what we do. Your dog lives with our family for the length of their stay — the same way they live at your house. They follow our household rhythm, sleep on soft surfaces, and have a person nearby whenever they want one.
Because we cap how many dogs are with us at once, every guest gets real one-on-one time. No rotating staff, no kennel walls, no time-block schedules — just attentive home care from people who have done this for years.

How it works
- 1. Free consultation
We meet you and your dog in our home for about 30 minutes. You walk the space, see the yard, ask questions, and we watch how your dog settles in.
- 2. Reserve your dates
Once we've confirmed it's a fit, we hold your dates with a small deposit and send over a simple intake form covering food, meds, vet info, and routine.
- 3. Drop-off
Bring your dog, their food, and anything that smells like home. We'll do a final routine review and you're free to go — no long goodbyes needed.
- 4. Daily updates
Photo and text updates every day. Reach out anytime; we're happy to send more if you want them.
- 5. Pickup
Pick up a happy, exercised dog — or use our pickup & delivery service and we'll bring them home to you.

How many dogs do you take at once?
We deliberately keep numbers low so every dog gets attention. Most stays we have 2–4 dogs total including our own.
Do you require a meet-and-greet?
Yes — every new client gets a free, no-pressure consultation. It's the only way for us (and your dog) to know it's the right fit.
Are you insured and bonded?
Yes. We carry pet-care liability insurance and are happy to share details at your consultation.
What if my dog needs medication?
Oral meds, eye drops, ear drops, and most injectables are included at no extra charge. Just bring the meds with clear instructions.
Do you take intact dogs?
Intact females are welcome outside heat cycles. Intact males are evaluated on a case-by-case basis at the consultation.
