Pet care experience

Playful “grand-dog parents”.

Just like grandparents, we'll spoil them enough, then give them back to you.My husband and I are dog people. We’ve owned many breeds of dogs from Yorkie's to Shepherds. We also owned/ managed a horse farm and cared for 20 show horses for several years, in the Tampa Bay Area. Now, we find we have lots of free time. Both of us are retired career professionals and have relocated to Cumming, Georgia to be closer to our family. We are both in excellent health and are very active. We love the companionship of animals, especially dogs. But do not have any dog/family members at this time. We want to earn some additional income and feel this would be a perfect way to accomplish that. We learned many years ago that you do your best when you are doing something you love!

I stand by my previous review… Gretchen and Marc are the best! Just got back from our honeymoon and they had our girl for 10 days!!! Our minds were at ease the whole trip and we knew our girl was getting all the love and attention. Gretchen sent photos and updates which we loved. We will continue to use them!

Gretchen and Marc are the best! They completely put our anxious mama hearts at ease anytime we have to leave our sweet girl, Harper. They are professional, friendly, compassionate, and truly go above and beyond to care for your fur baby like their own. Gretchen was so patient with me as I talked through every little detail about feeding routines, rituals, and all the ways we love on our girl. She made me feel so comfortable from the start. We also loved the daily photo updates, although honestly, we felt so at ease knowing Harper was in such good hands either way. We already have another stay booked with them, this time for 11 days while we’re on our honeymoon, and we feel completely confident leaving Harper with them. She may not even want to come home after spending that much time running around their big, beautiful backyard chasing squirrels!

Cotton was so pampered and spoiled. She pouted until this morning that she had to leave!! I just can't imagine leaving her with anyone else.

Marc and Gretchen are amazing. My dog felt immediately like at home and relaxed. They accommodate for all dog needs and follow all routines that your pet is accustomed to. I have received pictures and updates on daily basis. Marc & Gretchen, thanks so much for opening your home and providing such an amazing care!!!!! I have already scheduled another booking ;)
