Pets

Minnie needs some new friends!

Pet care experience

We have been loving pet owners for over 30 years, and we have been taking care of friends pets for many years as well. We also have past experience working with a service dog training program before we retired and relocated to Florida. After the recent loss of Minnie's companion of the last 14 years, we are looking to bring other dogs in to provide her with some playtime.

Joann and Chris took such good care our boys while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. We were nervous as we had never had to leave our boys with anyone outside of family before. Joann and Chris made us comfortable with the meet and greet and explained how they did things. Their home is very well set up for dogs of all kinds. We could tell they take it seriously when it comes to their care and watch of our dogs. We got photos and updates everyday. We loved that Joann and Chris treated our puppies as if they were their own it made it more comforting while we were gone to know they were getting the best possible care and love. They were spoiled and received lots of cuddles. Thank you Chris and Joann, we definitely plan to book with them again next time we go out of town😁

They are amazing. Yes......Chris really is the dog whisperer. My dog doesn't even take to men well and loved him. Both he and his wife are so caring. I felt great about leaving my furbaby with them.
