Doggy Day Care • Mar 23, 2026

Cathy and Joe were AMAZING!!!! Not only are they super nice people, we loved them, but more importantly Buddy LOVED them. Buddy seemed to have a wonderful time with them. He doesn't always get along as well with 'strangers', but Cathy and Joe were more like family, and I thank them so much. I will book them again in a heartbeat!!!!!!!!

The care that my dog Ann received with Cathy and Joe was phenomenal. They were always sending constant updates followed with pictures of her stay in their wonderful home. It really made me feel comfortable to have her in such good hands and would highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future.

I cant say enough about Cathy and Joe. They are the sweetest, most patient, kind people I have ever met. My Chihuahua, Dixie, is very timid and it takes her days, weeks, even months to get comfortable around people. From the start, Cathy and Joe allowed Dixie to do whatever she needed to do to be comfortable, including, but not limited to, barking for hours-yes, very patient people 😀 After spending two weeks with Cathy and Joe, Dixie absolutely loves them now. They treat her like their own, play with her, take her for walks, and even let Dixie snuggle in bed. My husband and I are very fortunate to have found Cathy and Joe. If you are looking for a dog sitter, look no further because Cathy and Joe are truly remarkable.

I chose to board Finnigan with Cathy & Joe again for a two week stay. Cathy & Joe were amazing as always! Finnigan has been dealing with GI issues and they successfully managed his medications and provided detailed notes and observations regarding his health and behavior.

Cathy & Joe were AMAZING with our sweet girl Paprika. She really can be a little iffy about staying with people but she felt right at home with Joe and Cathy. She would’ve been happy to stay with them! They spoiled her just as much as we do, she was a happy pup the whole stay. We will 100% be booking with them in the future!

Schedule

We are retired and are available everyday - weekdays, weekends, holidays - you name it! We are completely flexible and able to work with your schedule. We can even pick up and/or drop off your fur baby if it’s more convenient for you. Just ask us - we are more than happy to help! And while our profile says that we only take ONE dog at a time, we are happy to take two or three AS LONG AS THEY ARE FROM THE SAME FAMILY. We strongly believe in making your dog’s (or dogs’) experience as close to what you provide at home. That’s why we don’t have any other animals of our own and we won’t care for multiple dogs from outside your own family. It’s safer for your dog(s) and there is much less anxiety for them when they aren’t faced with unknown dogs. We endeavor to make your dog(s) feel as comfortable and calm as possible during their stay with us.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety first! Our entire home has been recently remodeled and is very dog friendly. We keep chemicals out of sight and behind closed doors. Our yard is fenced in and there is a lot of space to run and play. Joe is “dog-walker extraordinaire” and loves to take long or short walks any time of day.

A typical day

Because of our very flexible days, we’re able to provide a wide range of activities for your dog. If he or she likes lots of attention, we’re on it. High energy? No problem. Like lots of petting? We’ve got you covered. We are able to tailor your pup’s days to what he or she likes best.
