Pet care experience

We've had dogs and cats well over 50 years. In the past year we have lost two 16-year-old dogs and a cat to either old age or illness. We miss them terribly, but we're not ready to replace them just yet. Instead, we'd be blessed to love on yours. We currently have two 7-year-old cats (brother and sister).

Our pups had a great week with Dale and Karen! We received daily updates and pictures/videos and they knew just what to do to get them to eat while they were acclimating. Our pups came home healthy and happy!

Dale & Karen are fantastic and genuinely care and love your animals. Our dog was actually sad to leave them.

We truly appreciate the care and attention Dale and Karen gave to our dog, Cooper, during his stay. It’s clear he was well looked after and his needs were met. That said, it seems Cooper had some difficulty settling in and didn’t behave as well as usual. Dale and Karen chose not to inform us until we returned from our vacation, which we understand was out of consideration for our peace of mind. We’re grateful for their patience, professionalism, and the understanding they showed throughout. Overall great people to work with !

Availability

Dale is retired and Karen semi-retired so someone is home almost all day every day - your furbaby will get lots of attention and will seldom be left alone. They will love the relaxing vacation they'll receive while in our care. We typically attend church in Sterling every Sunday morning so we're gone about two hours.
