Your dogs new home away from home!

Pet care experience

I lost my dog of 17 years about 6 months ago. She was my ultimate best friend forever. I love all animals, and have owned cats and dogs. I understand your love and dedication to your pet, and I would love to take great care of them while you’re away! I work from home so your pet will always have a companion. My home is very pet friendly and I have dog toys, beds, food bowls, treats, etc. While your dog is with me, they’ll enjoy regular walks, playtime, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. 🩷🐶🐱

April made us feel so great leaving Scout with her at the last minute. She went above our expectations to take Scout for walks and even the beach. Scout tends to get nervous while traveling and April handled it with ease. If we are ever in the area again we would book again!!

April did an amazing job looking after Teddie. I have used several sitters and never has he seemed as happy as this experience. Thank you very much for doing such a great job and putting my mind at ease while away!
