Home is where the dog is .

Pet care experience

I started my life with dogs , cats and horses at a very young age. I have learned that unconditional love comes from animals. Coming home from a days work with your dog greeting you at the door is everything!

Gretchen and Amy are truly the best dog sitters! Our dog has some anxiety and often times when we pick him up from a boarder’s home, he is stressed out and anxious. This is not the case when he stays with Gretchen and Amy. He actually enjoys being there and is very calm when he gets home. This makes leaving him, especially for longer vacations, so much easier when we have peace of mind that he is getting the love and attention he would if he were home. We get regular updates and photos while he is there and the dogs in the home are very well behaved and friendly. I highly recommend them for your dog boarding needs. They are natural animal lovers.

This was the first time for my dog attended dog care. She was overwhelmed at first but Amy and Gretchen did a great job calming her and introducing her to the other dogs. She had a great time.

Gretchen and Amy were wonderful! Communication was 100%. I was updated on my trip with photos and how Benji was doing. He was well taken care of and came back a little more well behaved. We will definitely book again for our next trip and recommend others as well!
