Cat and Dog Loving Family at Home

My wife, son and I have taken care of pets our entire lives. Currently, we have only one elderly cat with special medical needs. Recently retired, we would love to adopt a dog but our frequent travel (to visit grandchildren) makes that a challenge. That travel helps us understand the stress and anxiety of leaving a pet in the care of others. We enjoy walking and playing with dogs (and cats!) and enjoy being in our yard, which opens to a field in the back, perfect for fetch. We will fill the day with a lot of activity and attention in a safe and secure environment.

David and Susan, very ably assisted by their son Jackson, took wonderful care of our 8-month old puppy on his recent 2 day stay. They were caring, attentive and communicative with us during our puppy's first stay away from home. We highly recommend them and hope they are available the next time we need a place for our dog to stay.

Second time with David and Susan, everything went very well. They take great care of our big boy and send us updates to let us know how he's doing. Thanks so much!!!

Susan, David and their son,Jack, were conscientious caregivers for our dog. They asked questions to make sure they understood her needs and preferences. We received updates with pictures of her walks and outside play. We would highly recommend their service.

My older dog was loved and cared for at their home. He enjoyed walks and I got photo updates. They were a great family to care for him.

Great people who took excellent care of our 12 year old Pyrenese mix, Bucee. We were very anxious as it was our first time leaving our senior, XL dog with another family. David and Susan put our worries to rest immediate upon meeting them and them meeting Buc. Great communication and very accommodating!

We are home full time and will have plenty of opportunity for walks, play time and potty breaks. During the school year, but my wife and I are home... and in summer months, our young-adult son will help as well.
