Cory was so accommodating for us! Our dog Fancy can be a bit anxious but she was so calm and relaxed when we picked her up. You can feel the love in the house. 10/10 would recommend

Cory took very good care of my babies while I was gone on a trip that wouldn’t allow pets. He made sure their needs were met and even sent me an update to tell me how much fun they were having. Will definitely use his services again if I need pet sitting.

Cory and his family of pets really did well taking care of my puppy and when she got home she was tired and happy for twenty four hours straight. She seemed happy both at drop off and pick up times; a blessing for us indeed!

Information Cory W. would like to know about your pet

Medical conditions or special accommodations are always recommended so your furry friend can receive the best loving care possible. Illnesses that are contagious must be shared, as other animals are in the household.

A typical day

On a typical day, fetch is a lifesaver. We have high energy pups of our own, so anything to help burn off energy is a must: fetch, walks, tricks, treats.

These prices are for one dog. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
