Information Jill & Nick R. would like to know about your pet

Knowing any sort of triggers that will nagatively impact your dog is crucial in providing the best experience for them. Also, knowing anything that could potentially harm your dog is important.

A typical day

Active dogs are happy dogs so keeping your dog stimulated both mentally and physically is always my goal. From interesting walks to scavenger hunts your dog will stay entertained the whole day through.

Pet care experience

I have been around animals my whole life. My parents owned a pet shop when I was a child and they also bread fish in our basement for years. I have always had a family dog that was considered part of our family.

We have had Nick and Jill (and kids) watch Niko a few times now and every time Niko comes back healthy and happy! He gets excited as we pull up and runs right into the house when we drop him off! We will definitely use them again!

Jill, Nick and family did an amazing job with our dog. She had a great time with their dog and received lots of love. They shared photos and even gave her a Christmas present as she was there over the holidays. We would highly recommend!

Two stays over 2 weekends! Sadie loves her time at Jill and Nick’s home. The whole family makes sure she is good hands. My first choice when it comes to watching Sadie - thank you!
