Your Dog’s Home Away From Home

🐾 Welcome to Our Pack! Need a vacation for your pet while you’re on vacation? We’re a military family in Niceville that treats every dog like they’re part of the family—not a customer. My wife and I have spent our entire lives around animals, from tiny Shih Tzus to giant Great Danes, and just about everything in between. Our home is full of love, attention, belly rubs, and the occasional debate over who gets to spoil your dog the most. We have two animal-loving kids who are always excited to make new furry friends, plus our resident welcoming committee: 🐶 Winnie – our playful Boston Terrier who thinks every dog is her new best friend. If your pup wants to play winnie is their bestest bud. If your pup is unsure and wants space, winnie senses that and is quite ok cuddling on the couch. 🐱 Luggage – our cat who is convinced he’s actually a dog and happily hangs out with everyone. 🐱 Benny Franks - our curious guy who loves to sit up high and supervise the fun! Whether your pet loves playing in the yard, lounging on the couch, going for walks, or simply getting extra attention, we’ll tailor their stay to what makes them happiest. Why pet parents choose us: ✅ Active-duty military family you can trust ✅ Experienced with small, medium, and large breeds ✅ Comfortable with puppies, seniors, and special routines ✅ Frequent photo and video updates ✅ Safe, loving family environment ✅ Plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles We understand how stressful it can be leaving your pet behind. That’s why we treat every dog as if they were our own and keep you updated so you can enjoy your trip knowing they’re having a great time too. By the time you pick them up, don’t be surprised if they act like they’ve been on vacation too. We can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐾

I cannot recommend Andrew enough. He and his family took care of my mom’s dog, Gracie, during an incredibly difficult time while my mom was in the hospital, and he went above and beyond at every turn. He drove out of his way to pick Gracie up, and later drove her all the way back to my mom’s house, without a second thought. He went to the store to buy her food and toys, making sure she had everything she needed to feel comfortable. Knowing her owner was in the hospital, he and his family gave Gracie extra attention, patience, and affection, treating her like his own. In the middle of a stressful, worrying time for our family, Andrew was a breath of fresh air. His kindness and amazing care gave us one less thing to worry about, and I’ll always be grateful. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, he is the one.

Please let us know if your dog is allergic to any types of foods or has any special dietary needs. My children can be sloppy sometimes and I want to make sure we’re treating your baby right! Please let us know if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs, cats or kids, or if they have any separation issues when you’re separated. All these things we can overcome, but we prefer to know beforehand so we can make arrangements if needed.
