“Tina and Bill always take such good care of Rigby and make him feel right at home. I really enjoy and appreciate all of the pictures they send while were away. I always know Rigby is in good hands when he stays with them and look forward to having them watch Rigby again and again whenever were out of town. Thanks so much!!”
“Again!!! I will never use someone else with my Lilly!!! She is always taken care of as if it were me watching her. Linda is excellent and truly loves Lilly as her own.”
“Chris & Joann were wonderful, they treated our puppy (5 mos old) like their own. They are wonderful dog people, we couldn’t be more pleased. Our pup enjoyed their two dogs and their fenced in yard and screened in deck area. Our pup is only 6# so I was really worried about leaving him, but their two dogs were great with him. I highly recommend them, especially for smaller dogs, and I will be using them again and again. So happy to have found them!”

“Sarah was welcoming, communicative, and a great photographer 😂. Took some high quality photos of my dog, which was nice. This was the longest time my dog and me spent apart.
