Laid-back and loving

Looking for a family who will love your pup like he was their own while you’re away? You’ve found us! We love our furbabies and are always delighted to have company over! Your pup will get plenty of attention, reserved just for them. In addition to letting the pups enjoy each other’s company, we do brushing, treat time, one on one play time, and lots of just “hanging out” on the couch. I grew up with dogs always around me. I have had experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Chihuahua to great dane, separation anxiety to squirrel chasers. My interests have led to a solid understanding of dog behavior. We will not allow fighting, just playing. We take great care of, and pay close attention to all furbabies and their interactions with each other when they enter our home. I enjoy working with, training, playing, and snuggling with the pups, and I teach my children how to do the same. Your pup will have almost 24/7 supervision while they are with us. I will happily sleep with them on the couch or the giant beanbag if they seem anxious or upset during their stay. My husband works from home, as do I most days, so they are guaranteed to have almost constant company. We have playmates and snuggle buddies aplenty, gates to block off sections of the house as needed for feeding, play style, treat time, etc. A lovely neighborhood for our walks, and a large fenced in area for the pups to play outside safely. A little bit about the pups who call us their people: Delilah is very tolerant of her furry friends – especially the puppies! Mostly, she prefers to watch the happenings from a favorite spot on the couch, and sleep – a lot! Isabel is an easy-going little girl. She likes to play with her friends but is mostly content to just be by her people. Blu is an exuberant, happy-go-lucky guy who loves to play. He is not a dominate personality even when another dog challenges him. He just wants to play! He works as a service dog, and as such spends most of his day earning his place among the greatest of his kind. Contact me today to set up a visit or to learn more! We can’t wait to meet new friends!

Better care than we could have even asked for in every way! It really helps us have a nice family trip when we can feel so content that our furry family member is safe and loved. Really happy with the communication balance as well!

Kathy was amazing and so patient with my anxious dogs. I felt so comfortable knowing they were in amazing and VERY knowledgeable hands. She pulled out all the stops and went above and beyond

A home away from home for our Murphy. After settling in, he was relaxed and happy with his new friends.
