We will always ask for your input as to how best to care for your pup. We have crates available, if needed. If any special information is needed, please share it at the meet and greet!

Depending on the season, we have had doggy pool to cool of from hot summer days. Toys for dogs to stay busy but again, we always adjust to what your pup might need or is used to.

Pet care experience

We understand the stress of trying to find a place for your pup. We have teo dogs, Mocha (a miniature Schnauzer) and Luka (a mix Lab). Having dogs has given my kids the confidence to feel comfortable around pets and lately we have been sharing our love with other dogs that we have cared for. The day starts with a walk, feeding, a later stroll down to the park (to play outside-based on weather), afternoon feed and a later walk. But if you feel this is too much for your dog, don't worry, we adapt and do what your dog likes best....We will take care of your dog with diligence and plenty of love. We have plenty of love to give.

I’m so grateful for Israel and his family! they truly saved the day! When an emergency came up with Rocko’s first sitter, they stepped in without hesitation and welcomed him with so much love. This was his second stay with them, and I knew he’d be in the best hands. Rocko came home happy, so loved, and so well cared for. I can’t thank them enough!
