Hello,  
We are a Vietnamese-American couple that live in a corner house with a large backyard. Our Peanut is a mixed rescue dog from Spain that we adopted at 5 month old, he used to live with us here for 3 years; however due to major changes in our life circumstances, from summer 2024 Peanut is temporarily in the great care of Romano’s mom in the US.  

We have decided to do dog-sitting at our place,
because as pet-owners ourselves, we understand so well the struggle to look for a dog sitter when going on holiday. Therefore we want to be part of the solution for other dog owners.  

I am working half of the week at home, while Romano follows an online bachelor program. Therefore, your dog would rarely be left at home alone without one of us for more than 1-2 hours (we also have a pet camera at home). By now, we have hosted hundred of dogs of different breeds. In principle, for new dogs, we only accept dogs above 1 year old, female dogs not in heat and neutered male dogs.

The house has two levels, Peanut used to not be allowed upstair and he sleeped quietly throughout the night by himself downstair. We will let your buddy sleep downstair as well, so it s important that they re able to sleep by themself through the night. We have a large garden where we trained Peanut to poop and pee in the same spot; we always train new dogs to use the same spot.  
We normally walked Peanut 2-3 times a day: 8am, 3pm, and 10pm, and feed him after the walk at 8.30am and at 5pm. Hence we would like to stick to the same routine for your buddy. Since we have areas where dogs can be off leash, we always encourage the dogs to release all their energy outside (either by playing with each other or fetch with us), and inside it should be quiet time for all dogs. We also have indoor foldable fences that we can put up to separate the dogs if one is too eager to play inside while the other just wants to rest. And certainly, we would for sure send you a lot photos of them playing and hopefully cuddling in bed.

We hope to help you out and find Peanut a play
buddy!
