Here to make your pet be family
Pet care experience
I used to be a manager at a dog shelter which I absolutely loved before moving to a new state. I’ve also grown up on a farm and handled all types of pets from goats, pigs, cows to dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I believe every animal deserves to be treated as family not just a pet.

Reviews

Derek and his family took the best care of my pup! She was so comfortable with them and they sent me plenty of updates and photos. 10/10 will bring Clara back to stay with Derek!

Derek and his wife Christina were great. I was looking for someone to watch Cassius on short notice, and they were accommodating and understanding. After meeting her and her dog family, I felt at ease knowing he’ll be cared for. Daily updates and pictures were helpful to alleviate the feeling of really missing him. Thanks!

Our 5-lb Chihuahua had a great experience staying with Derek and his family. Our girl was returned happy and healthy. I was glad they offered a meet-and-greet a few days before to help my anxious pup get comfortable in a new environment. Very kind family who loves animals, and they were even able to keep her an extra night when our flight plans were delayed. Thank you so much!

Wonderful couple. Took great care of my dog. It was his first time with other animals and he acclimated quite well. Highly recommend working with these two. I will be a repeat customer!
