It's always fun at Gma's house.

Pet care experience

What happens at Gma's house stays at Gma’s. Having fun is what is important. We love to play tug of war, chase, fetch, or just cuddle with your furry family. Our goal is to make Gma's house so much fun they look forward to their next visit and hardly miss Mom and Dad. Harley & DaKota love to have friends over to play and will quickly teach their furry friends what fun it is to play inside and in our big fence in yard outside. The dog door allows everyone to go in and out when they want to. We have lots of toys, mind puzzles, activity games, yummy antlers and bones, and other things to chew on. We have play areas so if one just wants to chill and watch out the window, they don’t get in the way of those that are rough housing and playing.

Kathy and her husband are great with my dog. They work with her teaching her manners and make suggestions to me on how to keep enforcing what they’ve taught her.

Kathy, thank you so much for taking such good care of Murphy. We didn't want to leave him in a place where he would be in a kennel most of the day. We wanted him in a home where he could roam and receive lots of love just like he is used to with us. You provided that and we thank you so very much!

Slushy always feels welcome in Grandma Kathy's home. He loves the dog door and the freedom to come in and out. She also spoils him with treats.

Maggie loves to go to grandma’s house. I receive many pictures each day showing me all the fun and love Maggie is having. Three weeks is a long time to be away from my sweet girl, knowing she was with grandma gave me peace knowing she was in great hands. Thank you Kathy for loving her soo well.
