Hello, my name is Heather and I live in Carlsbad with my husband, Vince, and our dog, Baxter, a 14 year old, 25lb Cockapoo. We love all dogs but we only accept non-shedding pets at this time.

Heather is absolutely wonderful! We’re so grateful we found her. My old man, Murphy, was welcomed like family and so clearly loved in their home. I really appreciated the dependable daily updates with pictures of him enjoying the couch, toys and walks. Our resort wasn’t pet-friendly, and I’m so thankful Murphy could stay in a warm, loving home instead of a kennel. We’ll definitely book with Heather again the next time we’re in the area. Thank you for everything! Highly recommend.

Very sweet and super accommodating, especially considering we booked her super last minute and couldn’t even stay in contact with her properly. Would definitely trust our pup with her again. He was super comfortable and came back loved and pampered.
