YOU ARE BARKING UP THE RIGHT TREE

Pet care experience

Thanks for checking out our bio! We understand that you have a ton of options when it comes to your furry companion, but understand you really do not need to look any further. When it comes to trusting your best friend with the right people, you definitely are “barking up the right tree.” With over 25 combined years of pet sitting experience and ownership, you can rest easy knowing that we have you , and your pet in our best interest. About us. My husband and I are both full time school teachers that use our summers to spoil our own best friends, Marley and Quinn, and what better way to do so then have a daily party with new and exciting guests!!! Here is where you and your fur baby come in. We are excited to open our completely fenced in private shaded oasis to your pet. One of the best things we offer is round the clock monitoring and care of your dog. With two of us able to be there we can monitor daily play and exercise of all clients. (Woof that’s a mouthful)! Couple that with the fact that… spoiling your most important creature is a given in our house. Treats and hugs are free, but we do charge a slight fee for late pick ups. We ask that you follow our guidelines for drop off and pick up, and understand that to us, caring for animals isn’t just a business means it’s a lifestyle that we believe can be enjoyed by you and your best friend if you trust the right people. We are available for overnight stays, daily visits, and half day drop ins if necessary. We Even offer training and behavior sessions for new puppies. So while you’re at work you can rest assured as your new cuddle companion is getting the necessary training needed. Our promise to you is your dog is in the the right paws with us. So look no further you have found the right people to look after your most important part of life.

Katie and Michael did such a great job taking care of our dog Marty for over a week while we were on vacation. We had never used a service like Rover before so we were a little nervous at first but after meeting Katie and Michael and bringing Marty for a meet and greet with their dogs we felt completely at ease leaving him. Everyday we received updates and photos of Marty having a great time with all the other dogs. We will definitely we using their services again in the future.

Amazing amazing amazing!!! Katie and Michael watched our dog for 6 nights and everything went so smoothly. They communicated the entire time we were away and even sent sweet photos and videos daily. They are friendly, welcoming, and treat your dog like it’s their own. If I could give them 50 stars I would. I am so thankful I found them.

Everything went smoothly, and Moss enjoyed having some canine friends to hang out with. Communication was easy, and there was flexibility when I had to change my plans. Highly recommended.

Information Katie & Michael S. would like to know about your pet

We like to know their temperament with other dogs. Are they high energy? Feeding and treat habits. Where they like to sleep. Are they trained? Do they prefer crates over free roam when it comes to rest and relaxation.

A typical day

We have our play yard where our visitors will Have the opportunity to run freely with our two companions, Marley and Quinn. In the summer we like our little doggy pool on hot days.
