Gus is amazing with the dogs. They were very stressed moving to town and they settled right in with him. Easy drop off and pick up and his dog Lula is the sweetest dog ever!.

Gus took great care of Captain! We so appreciated his updates and he handled my dog’s special diet with no issues at all, thank you so much.! We will definitely be back!

Gus was the best! When we met Gus at our meet and greet, I could tell right away that our pup, Lucy, was very comfortable and at ease with him and that this was a great fit for her. He was very responsive and took great care of Lucy and I could tell when we picked her up that she had enjoyed her stay and felt safe and secure (and had a lot of fun). We look forward to working with Gus again.

Athena love love loves Gus! She greets him with jumps & kisses & is always excited to hear his name. Gus is completely dependable & immediately communicative. I don’t know how I could have maintained my job AND a new puppy without him 🙏

Pets

A typical day

With a goal of 10k steps a day, there will be plenty of walks for dogs who love exploring! For pups who prefer a slower pace or can’t walk as much, we’ll keep things fun with activities like indoor play sessions, gentle fetch, and snuggle time. I tailor every visit to make sure each dog has the best experience possible!
