Our Story

 

It all began because we needed a safe, clean, and nourishing place for our dogs to stay in. A home away from home.  Somewhere our dogs could have their own staycation while we went about errands, attended to emergencies, or took a trip, worry-free.

​

Not a lot of these places exist. And even at home or in public spaces, dogs can often run into trouble if they are raised with an 'always on, always excited' mindset. 

 

We created Sit and Stay with an intention to make a lasting impact. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to help pets and their owners build healthier and clearer relationships. More than being a safe place for your pet to stay, we want to be a place where humans can start seeing the world from the perspective of their pets (or more accurately, smell the world through their noses). A place where businesses, brands, and individuals who dream of a world with responsible pet ownership can come together.

​

That is why we chose the words 'Sit' and (implied) 'Stay,' which are widely used in the training world. Training is the first step to achieving a better relationship with our pets. It allows us to understand them and communicate with them in their own language.

​

Training also saves lives! If humans learned how to understand and communicate properly with their dogs, we could reduce the number of dogs in shelters and enjoy public spaces peacefully. Issues like leash pulling, excessive barking, marking, humping, reactivity, and more could become a thing of the past.

​

Because we interact with our dogs daily, we believe that training is an ongoing process. Every day and every moment is an opportunity to shape good behavior. All of our enrichment and training programs are designed with these principles in mind.

​

So, if you're looking for a safe, clean, and fun place for your pet to stay while also learning about good behavior, Sit and Stay is the place for you.
