Hi! We’re Sailing Dog House, a small crew on a tiny boat captained by our dogs chasing freedom and adventure at sea.
Our little floating home is called Dog House, which we thought was the perfect name since, well… we really do live with dogs! It’s both our boat and their house.
We started our blog as a way to keep our family and friends close, no matter where the tides take us. Sailing lifestyle can feel lonely at times, but it doesn’t have to mean losing connection. This blog is our way of sharing the same updates, stories, and moments we’d tell our loved ones if they were right here with us.
We’ll share stories from our sailing adventures, snippets of our daily life aboard, and plenty of dog tales. We hope our journey brings you a bit of peace, laughter, and inspiration to chase your own version of freedom, wherever that may be.
Welcome aboard!
