How are they with cats and/or with other dogs and with children? We have a cat and we will have other dogs here from time to time. Also I have an 8 year old grandson who might visit.

Pet care experience

We go by Deb and JC. My husband and I have always had family dogs and cats and guinea pigs, etc! We love animals. We treat our dogs as members of the family, with lots of love and cuddles and tummy scratching. Unfortunately, both of our senior dogs have passed away and we are lonely without dogs in the house. So we would love to host your dog(s) and pamper them while you are away. We have a 1 acre fenced property and a big, one story house with plenty of room for your precious doggies to stay with us! We would be delighted to pamper your pets! We can also handle medical issues, including medication administration and/or skin care. We will consider boarding more than one dog if from the same family.***PLEASE NOTE, we are unable to board dogs that require/need to sleep in our bed with us. Crate trained or able to be content sleeping on a dog bed in the living room preferred.

JC and Deb were so incredibly patient with our dog. They were flexible to meet all Oakley’s needs. I never once worried about her.

Buddy was very well cared for, loved like he was their own, and made to feel at home with Deb & John. Amazing care and attention! We would absolutely book with them again when needed.

Deb and JC were wonderful caregivers. They kept us updated with photos and texts and were very accommodating to our spoiled princess of a dog. She has separation anxiety and they were able to get her to relax and feel at home. We highly recommend them!

Deb and JC are amazing! Pip had a fantastic time during day boarding—he was happy, well cared for, and came home content and tired. They kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. Their love for dogs really shows. Highly recommend!
