Isaac and Vanessa are excellent people to take care of our fur babies. They have a designated space for them to play, people dedicated to giving them love, and they’re with them full-time. They constantly send videos and always respond quickly to any questions. Honestly, if you’re looking for someone to leave your pets with, they are the right people.

Issac and Vanessa took the best care of our cat, cheese! Literally heaven sent. I was worried sick about leaving him for 5 days but they really put my worries at ease. They kept me updated with pictures and videos and he looked comfortable every time. Our flight ended up being delayed a whole day and they took him for an extra night. I can’t thank them enough, our cheese is finally back home and looks great. I made a great choice and cheese will definitely be back whenever I need to leave on a trip again and will know he’s in great hands. Thanks again you guys ❤️

This was the second time I trusted Isaac and Vanesa to take care of my dog Homero, and once again, they exceeded all my expectations. I had a last minute emergency, and they didn’t hesitate to help. They took great care of him and even made sure to drop him off. You can tell Homero feels safe and happy with them. I’m truly grateful for their kindness and dedication. Highly recommended!

A typical day

When caring for your pets, engaging them in fun activities helps keep them happy and stimulated. Here are some enjoyable activities I might do: Interactive game : Using toys like balls, feather wands (for cats), or tug-of-war ropes (for dogs) to encourage playtime. Training Sessions: Basic obedience training or teaching new tricks can be mentally stimulating and strengthen the bond between pets and caregivers. Outdoor Adventures: Taking dogs for walks in parks or on trails, allowing them to explore new scents and sights. Puzzle Toys: Using puzzle feeders or toys that dispense treats can challenge pets mentally while rewarding them for problem-solving. Socializing with Other Pets (if appropriate): Organizing playdates with other pets (with the owner's permission) can provide social interaction and exercise. Exploring New Environments: Introducing pets to new environments or sensory experiences (safely and gradually) can be enriching. Sensory Stimulation: Engaging pets' senses with activities like scent games or using different textures for tactile stimulation. The specific activities depend on the pet's preferences, energy level, and any health considerations. It's important to always prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets while ensuring they have a good time during their stay or visit.
