WE LOVE DOGS, YOUNG AND OLD!

We’ve had dogs all our lives. Our yard has a dog run and we are avid walkers. I am home all day doing my artwork, and look forward to a furry friend joining me! I started watching friend’s dogs when we lost our Shih Tzu, Kai Kai, about 5 years ago. Our friends loved that they didn’t have to put their dog in a kennel when they went on vacation and we loved having a dog around again.

Another great stay for Louie with Helen and Harvey! He is always excited to get there, and never in a hurry to leave. Looking forward to his next stay!

Helen and Harvey were such great pet sitters for our golden retriever! Seriously went above and beyond taking care of treats and chewies for her when I neglected to bring them! Helen also gave me some really helpful training tips for our new pup. Could not recommend her and Harvey more!

Helen was great! She gave Asha the attention she needed to manage her separation anxiety and figured out that music helps! Defintely keeping her on our GO TO list!

Helen and Harvey took excellent care of our dog, Molly. They welcomed he into their home and treated her as their own. Molly takes a few medications and they were very attentive to her needs. They sent us pictures while we were away. She was a very happy dog when we picked her up. I think she would have stayed with them if she could.
