Pet care experience

32+ years of animal loving

My wife and I have both grown up and taken care of animals since we were born. We have been approved fosters with the Lawrence Humane Society since 2018. We have experience in cats, dogs, puppies and kittens. Currently I own four cats and two dogs. One of my dogs is a certified therapy dog and the other dog is a breeder release. The breeder release was previously afraid of the world and with proper training and love she has become the happiest ever. They both love to play and are welcoming of other furry friends. The cats tend to do their own thing and are used to guest animals in and out of the house. We have a fully fenced in yard and can offer a separate room for your animal to help with any needs. My wife works hybrid remote and is home about 80% of the time allowing for more attention to go to the animals. We can provide services for any dog/cat of any size, age, or needs. Message us to discuss logistics for your pet and we can’t wait to provide loving care to your fur baby!

Austin was so great! We trusted him and his wife 100% with our dog. She had a great time. They were very communicative with us and sent pictures every day. We never had to wonder how she was doing. She came back so happy and well at the end of her 9-day stay. Thank you!!

Austin was so great and accommodating for our last minute request to watch our Lab overnight! He kept us updated with photos and let us know how well she was settling in! Highly recommend and we will be back for sure!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 07, 2026

Austin and Riley are fantastic! My five year old dachshund has had a blast at daycare. He comes home tired out and happy from playing with their sweet dogs! They are very easy to communicate with and send plenty of photo updates. We’ve already booked them for boarding, too!

Great communication from Austin & Riley while my pup was in their care. They were intentional about their care for him and he left a happy boy! Thanks again!

Austin and his wife were amazing! They treated my cat, Moose, so so well. They have a separate room to help her feel safer as well! They also kept great communication, and sent updates throughout the days! Overall, they were great!

This is our 11-year old pup's first time boarding with someone that wasn't family or a close friend and it went great! Austin was very responsive and easy to work with and flexible with plans. Lily had a good time.

Schedule

My wife and I tag team animal care and she works hybrid so she is home most of the day. We own our own animals so pet care is natural to us.

Let me know how to best take care of your animal! Any information to make our session successful would be great to know. Please walk me through giving medication if needed. We prioritize comfort and safety in our own which is why we appreciate honest communication and insight regarding how to best take care of your pet.
