Services for smaller dogs

We are an active, retired couple. When we first moved to the area we realized how challenging it was to find boarding services we felt comfortable leaving our small dog with. We wish to provide boarding and daycare services for smaller dogs. Away from home services are available to any sized breed. We walk at least three times daily weather permitting, and are close to parks and trails. We have one small dog who is accepting of furry visitors. We have a large pet secured porch, and fenced yard for your pet to enjoy.

We found that we had to attend a couple of meetings out of town and contacted Darren and Iris to see if they could look after our little furball during that time. She was very well taken care of; we really appreciated the updates. We would definitely utilize their services again.

We know when Dudley is staying with Iris and Darren that he is well looked after and no need for any worries. Would recommend them to anyone.
