Pet care experience

We love them all! Mature and reserved, playful, skittish, couch potatoes, and snugglers...we adapt to the personality of your fur baby to make them feel at home. The vast majority of our clients are gentle, small and mature so if you are looking for a calm, peaceful environment with constant companionship and gentle play, you have found the right home. Our guests enjoy full access to a large tropical, fenced in yard with plenty of places to sunbath, keep cool under shade, or even to take a dip in the pool. Your pets safety is our top priority. I have completed the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid class and am comfortable recognizing symptoms of distress and taking appropriate action. Maria is retired and home all day to shower love and attention on our guests. Her motto is “dogs are better than humans”. She sleeps in our living room when we have guests and they are welcome to snuggle and sleep with her. We have decades of experience and have always had a dog as part of our family. We would be honored to care for your family member while you are away. Your baby will be loved, get lots of snuggles, and will be a part of our family. Rest assured we will follow any directions given and will provide a safe and loving home away from home. Daily rate is good for a 24 hour period -Pickup/drop off may be made between the hours 7am and 8:00pm. (Outside of these timeframes will be on a case by case basis and a small fee will apply) -Willing to pick up/drop off within 5 mile radius for small fee. -We operate on a first booked first serve basis. -Meet and Greets are a great way to ensure we are a good fit, so we do request one before a first booking (some exceptions made based on situation). Maria is retired and home all day. She is a mature woman who loves dogs more than people. She offers constant, loving companionship to our guests. I work full time and look forward to my daily walk once I get home (weather/daylight hours permitting). We do have a large yard with plenty of places to explore and play. We offer a fenced yard, sleep with our guests, and since someone is always home, we don’t generally crate unless requested by parent. We have a large home with plenty of barriers so we are able to separate if needed.

Poppy had such a great time with Julie and Maria! Julie did an awesome job with communicating and managing expectations in advance, as well as trying a few strategies to encourage our notoriously picky eater to eat even better than she usually does at home.

Julie & Maria took such great care of my Coco. I was very nervous about boarding for the first time, and Julie instantly made me feel at ease after seeing the way she interacted with Coco and other dogs that were in her care. I would highly recommend them to take care of your fur babies!

Information Julie & Maria S. would like to know about your pet

Guests must be friendly with children and other dogs. Guests must be fully vaccinated and treated for fleas. We do live in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood and as a courtesy to our neighbors, vocal guests won’t be the best fit.

A typical day

We love to walk to the local university. It is so big that we can walk a new route each time we go. There are lots of cool statues to sniff. My boy loves to play tug and fetch with our guests as well. We play scent games too.
