Kerri was awesome to work with. I normally keep my dogs in my home when we go out of town and I had my reservations about taking them out of their normal environment. But I will say going to Kerri's house was a great experience for my fur babies. She was very knowledgeable about my dogs personalities during the meet and greet and welcomed them in her home with lots of love. She communicated with me daily and sent tons of pictures to ensure me that my babies were having a great time. I truly appreciate all her hard work and dedication to making them feel like her own fur babies. I would highly recommend Kerri to anyone who needs a safe and loving home for their babies. I will definitely use her again.

Kerri and her family took such good care of my dog Ollie. He came back home a happy boy! Kerri sent me daily pictures and kept me informed on Ollie’s routine and activities. I highly recommend Kerri and her family.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 11, 2026

Kerri and her husband are amazing dog sitters. They sent me pictures and videos during the day and I could see that Ollie had a great time. I highly recommend Kerri and will bring Ollie back when I need another doggy day care.

I work from home, so I am home most of the day. The dogs will spend the day playing inside and outside, taking naps, sunbathing, playing with toys, and chewing on bones.

Safety, trust & environment

A typical day

Our cherished visitors will play outside and inside with our playful dogs, throughout the day, if that's their thing. If they aren't very playful, they can explore the yard, sunbathe chew on bones, get lots of love!
