Home away from Home

My husband and I are both retired and love opening up our home to pets, to give them the home away from home feeling. We also love going to visit pets and have a part in making them happy while their owner is away. No pet should be left alone for long periods of time and we feel they get much more attention in a private home then in a kennel. We do not have a fenced yard but we love taking them out doors with their lease. We have been watching friends dogs since we have been married (8yrs) and I have watched pets for friends over 20 years. We have recently lost our baby who was 15 yrs old and we want to share our love for animals with others, Codi was a diabetic so we are use to giving shots to pets. We do plan on taking vacations ourselves and know how important it is to be able to leave knowing that your pet is being care for and loved. I have been doing Pet sitting for over 20 years look forward to giving your pets a home away from home. We have a big yard and love going out side with the pets we watch so we can be with them at all times . Want to make sure they feel loved and wanted. Being my husband and I are both retired and home during the day we have extra time to give a lot of extra love to your pet Love is a BIG thing in our home and we want to make sure our home is safe and a happy place for your pets. We are retired now and spend most of our time at home and looking for a pet to give our love to . After losing our own baby a few months ago we look forward to caring for others When the pets are taken out side we prefer to go with them and stay outside with them. This also give them time to run and enjoy the outdoors.

We left Frida with this wonderful couple during our trip to Mexico and they were wonderful with her. They were super sweet, made her feel right at home, and sent us plenty of updates and photos while we were away, which we really appreciated. It was great peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend them and would definitely book again!

They treated Pal like he was their own. Sent pictures daily which was a really nice thing to do. They sent messages every day also. Really nice folks.

Joyce & Robert were nice to accept our booking at pretty much the last minute. Smokey settled in right away even though it was the first visit to Joyce & Robert's. We would definitely board him there again!

Joyce and Bob watched our senior Beagle for us while we were on our family vacation. They were great! I received pictures and updates, and felt like he was part of their family. I will absolutely recommend them to others!

Mattie had a wonderful time with Joyce & Bob! She was well taken care of and pampered. I will definitely ask them to take care of her again, in the future. Thanks Joyce & Bob, for taking care of our girl so well! ?
