“Ryan and his wife were wonderful. They have a great home with an incredible back yard for the dogs to play. I appreciate that they are open to a solid meet & greet to start things off and then that they provided pictures and updates throughout the weekend. He was also incredibly flexible with drop off and pick up times. We certainly hope that we'll be able to book Ryan again in the future.”

“Wow! David’s care for our shih tzu Wesley, communication & just the overall experience was top notch! I was updated regularly & I could tell our dog was getting the best attention & treatment. We’ve only left our dog a few times ever before & we left him for a week with David. It really couldn’t have been a better experience for us or Wesley. He was treated like one of their own & we were at ease knowing he was so well taken care of! So grateful!”

“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog ​​everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”

About: I have had animals in my life since I was six months old and have helped care for them since I can remember. I've been married to my husband for 33 years and we have had cats, dogs, ferrets, and fish that. We are empty nesters so our complete focus is on our dogs and your dogs when they come to join our pack. I just retired so I am home all day everyday except when I have appointments. My husband Dan is also retired. So we have all kinds of time to care for your pet. Meet the team! My name is Ruth and I'm the female human in the house and my Dan is the male human in the house. Then comes Maisy, our 6 year old toy aussiedoodle, followed by her two year old half sister Gertie, our mini aussiedoodle. Maisy is more laid back and she gets along with other laid back dogs preferably. Gertie on the other hand loves all people and all dogs. I will treat your dog like our own under our care. We offer leashed walks in our dog friendly neighborhood, belly rubs, playing fetch and generally chasing each other around in fun. My house is more the dogs home than ours - where they have furniture privileges except the tables. If they are staying the night, they will be allowed to stay in our bed or we can crate as upon preference.
