Information Lauren & James V. would like to know about your pet

A meet & greet and proof of current vaccinations are required prior to accepting a booking. Because we only accept one booking at a time and do not have children or other pets, we can easily cater to dogs that do well in as the solo pet in an environment of just adults. Our former dog was dog-reactive so we also have a level of comfort managing that type of behavior. Dogs do need to be able to be kenneled when we are away.

Pet care experience

We lost our sweet angel, Presta, in 2025 after having her for 11 years. We are not ready for another dog of our own but look forward to showering your dog with affection, a regular routine, and worry-free care while you're away.

We felt 100% comfortable with Lauren and James taking care of Chloe. From the videos and pictures, it looks like Chloe had a great time with them and we would definitely like to book future stays with them!

Lauren and James were outstanding! They made my two chihuahuas very comfortable and my dogs warmed up to them immediately. They were very attentive and caring. They sent pictures and communicated throughout my time away.
