Dog loving family!

Pet care experience

My family and I love dogs! Our dog Bentley passed away the end of last year, he was a wonderful dog, we miss him dearly, but know he is always with us. Rich and I continue to care for dogs in our home. We have two college students who love dogs and help when their home visiting, Your dog will be treated as part of our family! We will send you pictures and updates while caring and loving your dog. Any dog who comes to our home will be extremely happy, played with, and entertained. Most dogs go home tired! We welcome a meet and great anytime. Thanks for reading and we look forward to hearing from you!

We had an amazing experience with Leigh & Richard watching our dog Ivy for over a week! Ivy is a 7-yr old rescue and can be very skittish at times and hesitant with new people and locations. Leigh took the time to watch her a few times before our trip to get comfortable with her and Ivy did great! We were sent pictures daily of Ivy while on our trip, which made it so much better as we could be stress-free over our dog. Their fenced in yard also worked out perfectly to give Ivy plenty of time outside. Thanks again! We hope to continue this relationship!

My dog is always happy with Leigh. I also appreciate her flexibility when plans change slightly.

Leigh and Rich were wonderful! Our dog Buster stayed with them for about a week and although there were some initial hesitations leaving him with strangers, that quickly faded. We couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving him with such a lovely couple and beautiful home. The big backyard was the cherry on top! Leigh sent us daily photos and videos throughout the week which put us at ease. We are so lucky to have found them. Thank you both for taking such great care of our boy! Buster is already looking forward to his next stay!
