Availability

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.

We will make sure your dog(s) get lots of exercise, love and attention!

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.
