Reiko
Livermore, CABreed: Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Weight: 25 lbs
Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Trixie
Livermore, CABreed: Doberman Pinscher
Weight: 70 lbs
Age: 4 years old
Gender: Female
We recently adopted Trixie, a loving 3 year old Doberman from the SPCA. She is super sweet - loves people - likes other dogs - she is almost perfect! She loves to go for walks and she loves to run and go to dog parks. Her only "issue" is that she does not like to be left home alone. :) She also really does not like to be crated. Perhaps this has something do with her past, of which we have no information. We love her to death, but we sometimes go out of town or leave the house for a day, and we need pet-sitting help. And that's why I am looking into WoofyClub! :)
Blaze & Lexi
Livermore, CABreed: Labrador Retriever
Weight: 70 lbs
Age: 4 years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Labrador Retriever
Weight: 80 lbs
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Female
We have two labs, one a couch potato and the other a more typical happy-go-lucky lab (crazy at times, but then a huge snuggle bug). We would be happy to host any lower key, dog-savvy, cat-friendly canines (we have three indoor only cats). Lexi had minimal dog exposure during the first year of her life (we adopted her around a year old) and can get intimidated around high intensity dogs, so if yours is fairly dominant or pushy, likes to play by getting into another dog's face, this will not be a good match. Lexi is better with smaller dogs and smaller groups, but often plays with a group of dog friends consisting of two other labs and a german shepherd. We also dogsit a mixed breed rescue dog (shep mix) at our house and she does great. If you have a pool, she WILL be in it. Blaze, our male (the black lab), is the BEST with all animals — he’s often been used as the trial/intro dog at camps and daycare. He can get rowdy if that's what your dog is into, or he'll take the hint and be very gentle and calm if your dog is more shy. He's a great buffer dog, and Lexi learns a lot and takes a lot of confidence from him. Our dogs are good in the house, not trash-pickers or counter-surfers. They typically sleep in crates at night but are loose during the day and when we are out of the house and are not destructive. Note that we do allow our dogs on the couches and beds. If your pets stay with us, we're happy to enforce your rules and I'm very comfortable giving medications as needed or making sure each pet gets their special diet (I'm a previous vet tech).

Tango
Livermore, CABreed: Labrador Retriever
Weight: 60 lbs
Age: 8 years old
Gender: Female
Tango, our spoiled 7 year old sweet laidback female black lab is a pampered pooch. She enjoys an automatic dog door, multiple beds around the house and within Dad's mancave a.k.a. garage woodworking shop. Not to mention sleeps with Dad on their own bed. Tango enjoys the company of two senior cats. Although she is scared of Mr. Pickles, our orange tabby that is the alpha pet of our house. Our family consists of myself and husband along with our 11 year old daughter. We're easy going and laidback just like our dog, Tango. The occasional trips to the beach, short hike, or walk around the neighborhood is pretty much what you can expect from us. If your dog is high energy and needs a lot of activity this house isn't for them. We have a fairly nice fenced in backyard with plenty of grass for Tango and any doggy guest to romp around on. Nothing dangerous other than a couple rose bushes. With free access to the backyard naturally Tango uses much of it as her bathroom. However, she's on a special diet and eats Royal Canine brand dog food. As my husband likes to joke, "You pay either going in or coming out." Meaning, since Tango has been eating "the good stuff" her poops are no larger than a cats. This from a 60lbs dog, I know hard to believe, huh, but true. In other words if you ever get to Tango sit for us you won't have to worry about huge poops to pick up.
