Lifelong dog loving care for dogs!

I have been caring for dogs all of my life and on my own for over 40 years. I treat my dogs as my kids. I have even trained them to interact with children due to having grandkids around sometimes. I would love to meet you and your dogs and board them when you are away.

Diane provides great care and a comfortable environment for your family dog. We were hesitant to use anyone, but found Diane truly cares about Goose and treated him as her own.

Buddy really enjoyed his time at Diane's-- She did an excellent job with him across the 4 days. She was communicative, sent photos and flexible with drop-off and pickup times. A perfect option for a few dog free days while visiting the Crosslake area. Will definitely reach out to her again!

Diane took good care of my dog, Gus. I would not hesitate to have Diane care for my dog again. I'm not as positive about Rover. Rover "hounds" me with constant texts and emails. Overkill for sure.

Diane was great with Coco! So fun that she got to go on the boat, we would definitely like Coco to stay again.

Schedule

I currently work from home and have a very flexible job that allows me to take time to care for pets whenever needed. My husband is also a dog lover and loves to take our dogs to swim at the island on the lake we live on. Our dogs are very friendly lab's so they get along with other dogs.
