We are a family of four that loves all dogs. I have owned Poodle, Maltese, Samoyed, German Shepherds and Great Pyrenees pets over the years and loved them all. Our two boys will be eager to play with your pet. We have an old country farm with 10 acres for your pet to stay at with us. We would be very pleased to care for your dog as you travel. We have been a customer of this type service and know the great convenience and peace of mind it can provide for traveling families knowing that your loved pet is safe and well cared for. Give us a call to discuss arrangements for booking and care of your dog. We look forward to meeting with you.

We've never left my dog with anyone who want closer to us before. Gary and family provided a wonderful experience for Mickey and me. Drop off was smooth. Gary asked all the pertinent questions about care of my Chihuahua. I was a little nervous leaving him with strangers, but they weren't strangers for long. Mickey took to his 'pack' easily and I felt it was like he went to summer camp. One incredible thing is Mickey didn't like other dogs before. He came back to me understanding the 'dog friends' thing thanks to Gary and a couple of dogs. He's been perfect with 2 other dogs since he came home. I was sent pictures of his stay every day with updates. They were the perfect people for Mickey. I will be utilizing them whenever my husband and I go away.

I can’t recommend Gary and Becky enough. They watched my 11 yr old lab while I was out of the country. Communication to set up the services was prompt and easy and I had zero concern about her well being while gone. I received consistent updates and pictures while on my trip and it looked like she was as settled in and comfortable as she is at home.

Gary and his wife were incredible. They have the ability to keep your dogs separate from theirs or other boarders. They sent pictures and took really good care of our three really big babies: a lab Dane mix, a full bred German Shepard and a full bred Dane ❤️
