Engage in the N-L-U Difference: Trusted Care, Healthy & Happy Pets, Peace of Mind

At N-L-U Petsitting LLC, every visit is built around your dog’s physical health, emotional balance, and enrichment—so your pup stays calm, confident, and content while you’re away.

What we do for your dog:

  • Exercise tailored to energy level: brisk walks, controlled runs, or gentle strolls to burn energy and reduce anxiety.

  • Mental enrichment: interactive play, puzzle toys, scent games, and training refreshers to stimulate their mind.

  • Emotional care: calm, consistent interaction to reduce stress and reinforce positive behavior.

  • Consistent routines: feeding, potty breaks, medications, and bedtime habits followed exactly as you prefer.

  • Socialization and boundaries: safe, supervised play and practice with cues to keep manners strong.

Health & safety you can trust:

  • Trained, insured, and background-checked caregivers

  • Real-time updates with photos and notes after every visit

  • Emergency protocols and local vet coordination

  • Clean, hazard-free equipment and sanitation practices

Why it matters A balanced dog is a happier companion. Regular exercise, mental challenges, and predictable routines prevent boredom, destructive behavior, and separation anxiety—so you come home to a pup that’s relaxed, well-mannered, and eager to greet you.

Book a meet-and-greet to see how we tailor care to your dog’s personality and needs. Your peace of mind and your dog’s wellbeing are our top priority.

Meet & Greet Structured Daily Doggy Daycare

We conduct a thorough full day evaluation to determine whether your dog is a good fit for our daycare program and to identify growth or training opportunities. The assessment covers health, behavior, social interaction, and readiness to safely and happily comingle with our other daycare dogs.

Behavioral Assessment

Temperament: One-on-one evaluation of confidence, reactivity, fear, energy, and handling tolerance.

Resource Guarding: Check guarding of food, toys, treats, and resting areas. Strong guarding needs training before group placement. (We partner with Barking Bubz Dog Training in house to help mitigate these behaviors before they become unmanageable.)

Human Interaction: Assess comfort with strangers, response to basic cues (sit, down, recall, place), and tolerance of leash/collar/harness handling.

Social Interaction & Play Style

Controlled Meet-and-Greet: Introduce to a single or small group under supervision; observe initial reactions, greetings, play signals, and calm-down. Play style matching.

Structured Daily Doggy Daycare

Our daycare blends routine and variety to meet dogs’ physical, mental, and emotional needs with scheduled rest, play, enrichment, and safe social time.

Safety & effectiveness

  • Temperament grouping by size, energy, and social style

  • Trained staff certified in behavior, group management, and pet first aid/CPR

  • Continuous supervision with immediate intervention

  • Secure indoor/outdoor spaces, non-slip floors, climate control, and sanitized toys/surfaces

  • Customized care and one-on-one attention for seniors, medical needs, anxiety, or training

Why it works

  • Predictable routines lower anxiety and improve behavior

  • Alternating activity and rest prevents overstimulation and injury

  • Targeted enrichment meets mental needs beyond exercise

  • Structured socialization builds confidence and polite play

Owner benefits

  • Daily reports on activity, meals, enrichment, behavior, and health

  • Faster training when daycare reinforces impulse control and enrichment

  • Peace of mind knowing dogs are safe, professional, and engaged

Meet & Greet Pet Sitting

N-L-U Petsitting provides top-notch dog sitting services that ensure your pup is getting the best care while you are away. Our Meet & Greet, lasting 30-45 minutes, is a vital step in establishing effective communication and connection between our skilled handlers, you, and your furry companions. These in-person meetings are the perfect opportunity to address any questions and get to know our team better. Check your email for further details on the N-L-U Petsitting Meet & Greet process. The Meet & Greet is a 15 minute to an hour introduction to me, you, and your pups! I prefer to come to your home so you can show me feeding, medications, where you prefer I sleep, TV/home specifics, etc. and give your pup time to get acquainted with me in a safe place. No matter which option you choose for boarding, I prefer to meet in your home where your pup is most comfortable. You are welcome to come to me and tour my home as well, to ease your mind. We should do at least 3 of these introductions before I dog-sit in any capacity, just to ensure you and your pup are comfortable and happy with me before you go! If you are a special case referred by Vanessa, we can and should meet with Vanessa present to help ensure that I follow training guidelines, and that I will be a good fit for your pup!


In Home Care

One of the primary challenges associated with commercial pet boarding is the stress and anxiety pets often experience when confined to small spaces with only a few familiar items from home. They must adapt to the facility's schedule, new smells, different dogs, being alone overnight, and unfamiliar humans, which can be overwhelming. 

In-Home Care service involves staying in your home to care for your pets. Since our focus is on maintaining positive relationship-based approaches to dog care, we prefer in-home pet care.  Caring for your pet in the space they are most familiar in minimizes stress for your furry companions. They can enjoy the comfort of home by allowing them to remain in their familiar environment. We can easily adapt to the schedule that your pets are accustomed to, making every effort to maintain their daily routine as closely as possible. Your pet may have initial anxiety since our Pet Sitters may be new to your pup; we strongly recommend many Meet & Greets to help your pup feel comfortable and confident.

Don't worry while you are away, our pet sitter, Katie, is committed to being respectful and considerate of your home, leaving the space as though we had never been there. Ultimately, the goal of in-home dog sitting is to provide a comfortable and enriching experience for your pets, offering new exposures as permitted while ensuring they remain happy, healthy, and cared for at all times, just as you would.

Ask our resident dog sitter Katie about participating in doggy daycare, hiking, paddle boarding, or endless socialization with her own pups.

Service Dog Pre-K

Introducing the N-L-U Pet Sitting & Barking Bubz Service Dog Raising Program! We know that training a service dog is a significant commitment, and we're here to simplify that journey for you. Our program offers your new puppy a nurturing environment in our pet sitter's home, where they'll receive essential training in boundaries, kennel training, potty training, obedience, and service dog level socialization. While also avoiding and immediately managing any problem behaviors.

In this program, the puppy will receive multiple months of one-on-one focus with our pet sitter, setting basic manners in the home (around cats, other dogs, multiple people). Meanwhile, our professional dog trainer will take your puppy on outings to facilitate controlled socialization and establish the foundational skills for service dogs. Throughout the program, we want you, the new service dog handler, to participate in weekly sessions. This will help immediately bond you to your new dog, get them used to their new home environment, and keep you from the annoying naughty puppy behaviors like keep away, counter surfing, and burnout.

This program generally runs until the puppy reaches 8 months of age so that the puppy has well established manners. Then the puppy will go home with its forever family to begin its task training (medical alert training will start prior) and continue any further training the puppy will need to become a well-developed service dog. Note, most service dogs take about two years to train to completion and even then, service dog training never stops, continuous work on tasking and any behaviors that pop up. You would still be responsible for veterinary fees, feeding, toys, and any additional supplies.

Perks of our program:

  • You are the trainer which creates an immediate bond

  • You pick the tasks that you need

  • Your puppy is raised in a home setting, as well as training in your home setting

  • You are a consistent participant in the raising of your puppy

  • Less chance of burnout for you and the dog

We recommend having our trainer help pick the right puppy through rigorous testing. We love working with rescues (up to 6 months of age for this program) and are happy to help you find a well-bred puppy with early neurological stimulation and proper socialization for its age. 

Cost breakdown:      $2,500 pet sitting with N-L-U Petsitting

 $1,000 training with Barking Bubz

Total: $3,500/month

Let us do the work! During our Barking Bubz School for Dogs program we will teach your dog to place around other dogs in daycare (if the dog is safe), manage the dog for appropriate play, ensure they have control around other dogs, kennel train, and mitigate any new behaviors that appear. Your dog will receive one-on-one training on any behaviors ranging from obedience, leash manners, reactivity, and structured socialization with people and dogs. This is a great option to socialize your dog while getting in some training. Instead of one big training session, your pup will receive training in increments throughout the day or whenever a problem behavior appears for immediate mitigation. We recommend participating in our School to Home package to ensure all the behaviors taught to your pooch generalize to you. Served only here at the N-L-U home. Please note that the cost related to this service is addition to any service from N-L-U Petsitting. Turning routine into results!
