A tired dog is a happy dog! What ever their heart desires. We can play and walk in the mornings with a nap in the afternoon. A fun field trip to the park or nearby trails. Even a doggie pool for those hot summer days. If they don’t like water they can take a break and lounge on the deck.

Pet care experience

What’s better than staying at fun grandparents house? Our house! My husband and I dont have human kids but for the last 20 years we have had our 2 dog babies that were spoiled every day. Sadly we are now "empty nesters". We thought dog sitting would be a fun chance to care for dogs again. Over the years we have made our lives fit our dogs. I was even a stay at home dog mom for 5 years as our oldest needed more attention. We understand it’s hard to leave your pups, and not just anyone will due. We have cared for old dogs, our Max was 17 when he passed. We also have experience with big dogs. Our Redford was a 105lb doberman goofball that would not take NO for an answer. We understand medicine schedules and the importance of structure throughout the day like walks and potty breaks, even feedings three times a day. I work part time and we are both home on Friday, Saturday and Sundays. We like to walk and get outdoors and we have a big fenced yard that has more than enough room to run and play, it even comes with a fun neighbor dog that, if it’s ok, can play anytime! We have a smoke free, clean, quiet and calming home. We will stick to your dogs schedule and give plenty of hugs and rubs. We have a lot of left over toys and balls, leashes and gates. Your dog will be extra safe and relaxed in a country setting with a lot of birds and rabbits to chase around.

Kristy and Eric took great care of my senior dog. From a meet and greet before to multiple pictures and updates while I was gone, I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Will definitely use them again!

This was Cal’s second stay, and I’m pretty sure he’s part of the family now. At least they treated him that way. His days were filled with field trips, walks and plenty of love. Can’t recommend them enough!!

Eric and Kristy took great care of Koka. We appreciated the personal care she recieved. The photos and updates were great. She seemed comfortable. They even helped her through her first night when she was feeling some anxiety sleeping at a new house.
