Happy Stays, Wagging Tails

Our home is a warm, relaxed environment where your pup will truly feel part of the family. We have an indoor cat named Mochi who is best friends with our puppy, Koda (born April 2025). Koda is a social and friendly dog who loves having other dogs around. Between my partner, Mindy and I, we have always had pets growing up. Including cats, dogs, hamsters, snakes and fish. We have a large front yard that we do regular supervised potty breaks, plus a minimum of 2 daily walks, including one on the beautiful nearby trails. Visiting dogs get the same routine, so that they stay happy, stimulated, and comfortable throughout their stay. We are able to administer any medication and provide regular mealtimes, playtime, and lots of cuddles.

Denise and Mindy were amazing with our dog Lucy. They showered her in love and cuddles while we were away and sent us lots of pictures to reassure us. We would love to have them watch our pup again for us. We highly recommend Denise and Mindy to watch your pup!

This was the first time leaving our dog overnight. Denise was absolutely fabulous! Right from our meet and greet Koda their dog and Luke got along so well. Denise updated us with photos and things they were doing which made us so comfortable knowing he was in good hands. They took him on walks, car rides, dog park, outside playtime and most importantly cuddles and love ❤️. I highly recommend Denise ( so does Luke)!

These ladies took excellent care of our dog for a weekend! They went above and beyond to clean our dog up after she got herself into a stinky situation. They returned our dog whiter and cleaner than she's ever been and she seemed so comfortable in their home. Would 10/10 reccomend.

Katie, Laura and Denise were fantastic. They took great care of my boys Muffin and Lucifer while I had to be out of my apartment while it was getting fixed. They gave me updates and pictures every day letting me know how they were doing. I definitely recommend them and plan on going back to them next time I’m on a vacation or need to be out of my apartment for an extended period of time. Thank you again ladies for taking good care of my boys

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s well being is our top priority! We live on a quiet road, on a beautiful small treed lot on the Black River. We offer a clean, pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel completely safe. We always supervise any interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. We maintain a consistent routine with regular outdoor potty breaks, two daily walks, and plenty of structured downtime so your dog never feel overwhelmed. Koda is fully crate trained and is happy having his rests in there, but will also sometimes nap in the living room. Any playtime in the yard is always supervised. We have the space for crates and can assist with any puppy training or needs. Most importantly, we treat every dog like our own. You can feel confident knowing your pet is staying in a loving, responsible, and safe home environment.

Pets
