🧡 Who We Are 🐾 Janet loves all animals and the great outdoors! When I’m not caring for pets, you’ll find me hiking, camping, traveling, or scuba diving — I’m an advanced diver looking for a sea life or exploring caverns! 🐾 Karen is a proud mom of three and a dedicated dog & cat lover. She enjoys exploring nature, trail biking, and camping adventures with her family. We believe in creating an inclusive, welcoming space for all. We proudly support and welcome LGBTQ+ individuals and people from all backgrounds — discrimination has no place here. 🏳️‍🌈🤍💛🤎🖤

Information Janet & Karen Z. would like to know about your pet

🕗 Business Hours: 8am–8pm. We’re flexible and accommodating, always prioritizing what’s best for your pets. 🐶 Ready to Meet Us? Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet & greet. We can’t wait to welcome you and your furry friend into our extended family! 🐾 Happy tails await! 🐾

A typical day

🐾 Activities & Exercise We love going on our daily walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening — and your pup is always invited to join! Each walk is typically 1–2 miles, which helps our furry guests stay calm, balanced, and feel part of our beloved pack. ✨ Exercise is always customized to your dog’s needs. Whether they need more playtime or extra rest, we’re happy to adjust to keep them happy and healthy. 🥣 Feeding Arrangements All pet parents are responsible for bringing enough food for their pet’s entire stay. To keep everyone calm and safe, we feed all dogs separately during mealtimes. 💤 Your Pet’s Sleeping Arrangement Your fur baby will have the freedom to choose where they feel most comfortable — whether that’s a cozy blanket, a comfy dog bed, or snuggled up on the couch with us! Most pups pick their favorite spot when they arrive and stick to it. If you’d like your pup to continue crate training during their stay, just let us know — we’re happy to accommodate! 🧼 Cleaning & Hygiene We believe a clean environment is key to your pup’s safety and comfort. Since we often host multiple pups, we clean their play and sleep areas 1–3 times daily and deep clean at least once a week. Our outdoor patio is tidied up every day if the pups are playing outside. 🤝 Meet & Greets We love meeting new animals and pet parents! Meet & greets help us get to know your pup’s personality and ensure everyone feels comfortable before a stay. ✨ We understand that emergencies happen and sometimes a meet & greet isn’t possible. If that’s the case, let’s chat by text or phone to make sure we’re a good fit for your fur baby.
