“Courtney & Kam were amazing! We had a super informative meet and greet in the beginning. They had my boy over Christmas and I got pictures every day. I could tell how happy he was there. When I picked him up, he was super happy to see me, but I could also tell he was kind of sad to leave them. They went on many hiking adventures and he came back just as clean. Courtney & Kam were super flexible with the time, especially when I had to extend my trip a couple days early. Overall, I would recommend them. I could tell they loved my pup with all their heart!! They were super professional and very kind. I also saw how well kept and nice their home was.”

“Maverick loves when we pull up to Nancy’s house. It’s his home away from home! He has an instant dog friend and a warm & cozy house to play and relax in. I love getting pictures of him playing with DeDe and other dog friends. I’m so thankful Nancy is very accommodating with our crazy drop off and pick up times!”

About: I have a small bichon who’s my first dog. I trained him alone and have been the sole provider for him. I even take him with me to college and have learned the ins and outs! I’ve even taken care of my friends dogs as well during their trips! I am available most times everyday. I’m home for the summer and have my own transportation. I can be there within minutes if it’s needed! The pets come first 100%. After everything’s taken care of I like to clean after them and make sure everything’s how it was before I even stepped inside!

“Walt kept our boy, Teddi, for four days. Teddi is a 3 yo intact English Shepherd who has never spent a night away from us. Teddi is a very well behaved and friendly boy but we were a bit anxious how this would go. Walt kept us well informed on how Teddi was doing. Walt gave Teddi great care and a lot of attention. When we returned to pick up Teddi, it was obvious that he and Teddy had bonded very well. We are very pleased with the care that Walt provided and will certainly use him again.”

Definitely recommend Hannah, she is so kind and flexible! I can tell she has a great love for animals and is attentive to their needs. While on a walk, she is on the lookout for other dogs, which I greatly appreciate because of my reactive dog. I feel safe and comfortable with her caring for my precious pup. she sent all of our toys and blanket back in the same condition. Also, she sends updates and pictures!!

Olivia took excellent care of our older dog over a recent long weekend. Having farm animals next to the property was a bonus - the dog got to watch them from a safe distance, which we are sure entertained her quite a bit. Olivia made sure our dog got plenty of exercise and TLC, and she kept us informed about our dog's activities through notes and photos.
