"Do I have to go home?"

I always had a dog or 2 in my life! They are my children and I learn so much from them. I have been involved with Lab Rescue when it was in the Pensacola area and have done volunteer work at the Pensacola Humane Society. Your furry buddy will be protected in my home and yard. They will have fun playing with whatever toy they like and learn new stuff if they are willing. Night time we chill out and watch TV. From one year old to senior age they will fit in. Many times they will socialize with 1-2 other dogs. Everyday will be fun and be stress free! My goal is for them to want to come back and for you to know they re in good hands!

Elaine was wonderful. She is an excellent communicator, and her love for dogs is evident in how she engages with them. We really appreciated the pictures and check-ins throughout our vacation. Our Sweet Lucy had a great time with Elaine and her new furry BFF, Brodie. We will definitely use Elaine's services again!

Thanks for taking care of the kids this past week. They are happy there even though Shark gets a little strange sometimes. He gets that way here too.

Elaine took such great care of Sadie, even with her new‑meds incontinence situation. She was super patient handled everything like a pro. Sadie was comfortable, happy, and totally herself with her. Her updates were great, communication was easy, and I felt completely at ease the whole time. Honestly, finding someone this kind and understanding is rare. Sadie will definitely be visiting her again.

I will take care of your pets like they were my own! With big fenced in yard and tiled floor in home we are set! I can crate if needed. Dues to my limited strength, I am not able to care for dogs over 65 pounds. Also,no "pit" mix thank you. If you require care for more than 2 weeks, cancellations less than 2 weeks from trip will be 50% of the first 14 days. I am blocking that time out for your dogs and may have lost other bookings, Thank you.
