Pet care experience

Loving home care for your fur baby!

Over three decades of dog experience as owners and fosters for rescue organizations. Experienced with sporting breeds. Our home becomes your dog’s home for their stay as part of our family. We have raised Springer Spaniels from puppies, fostered and successfully transitioned over 15 foster dogs to their forever homes. We have also utilized dog sitters over the years and committed to providing great communication, daily updates including pictures so you can take your time away without concern about your furry family member! We work from home so are present during the week and can provide early morning walks when it is cooler and regular breaks during the day and evenings. Snuggles and playtime to suit your dog and we incorporate them into our family while they are with us. Your dog can enjoy our fenced yard with shade from pergola and citrus trees under our supervision. No children present and we prefer to meet prior to first stay for introductions and learn how to best support you and your dog during their stay in our home. We generally limit to two dogs per stay so we can give your pup(s) attention.

Kara and Chris are great with our dog Jax. Jax always seems happy when staying with them. They understand our dog is getting old and extend extra effort to taking care of him. They keep me well informed about Jax daily during his stay. Thanks Kara and Chris

We really appreciate Kara and Chris taking care of Jax. They always do a great job. It takes the worry out of leaving your dog while on vacation. Jax enjoys Ellie’s company.

We have used Kara and Chris multiple times to watch our dog, Izzie. They are cordial, loving, accommodating, friendly and we know our Izzie gets the best care possible when she is at their home which is clean, welcoming and has a fenced yard. They give Izzie cuddle time and keep us updated with texts and photos so we can see how Izzie is doing. We trust them and plan to use them for future visits. Thanks Kara and Chris, Sincerely, Linda and John
