Your premier small dog boarder

Pet care experience

WHO WE ARE. HOME FULL TIME, flexible schedule. Over 30 years of working with pets ... dogs, cats, birds, you name it. We are die hard animal lovers. We have never met a dog we didn’t like. And never had a dog who didn’t like us. Even the dogs that aren’t usually comfortable with strangers end up in our laps or following us around before too long. And they rarely miss the “family meeting” that occurs when we go to the bathroom. We are that couple that if we are at a party, we want to make friends with the dog and get excited when they walk over to us. We treat every dog as if they are own. And we have a pretty High standard for how much we value them in our lives. BOARDING - IN HOME. We limit boarding in our home to dogs 30 lbs or less. We treat your dogs as if they were at home. Where they sleep at your house, they will sleep in our house. We never crate unless requested to by the owner. We are home the majority of the time and love playing with and loving on your dog(s). To accommodate our long term clients, we do occasionally take in dogs from different families. This happens only when we have previously watched the dogs and know their personalities. This way we can ensure compatible dogs. They are also supervised 100% of the time as we make sure someone is always at the house. Dogs are never left alone to interact without us watching them. BOARDING - OVERNIGHTS. We do overnights for all size dogs, cats, and other animals. We are different than most on overnights as there are no hidden fees. We will be at your house generally 20 of every 24 hours, where most overnight sitters stay from evening to morning and charge an afternoon visit. We are all inclusive and our goal is to make sure your pets and house are looked after. We leave your home as you found it. Litter boxes cleaned. Your yard cleaned. Floors cleaned. Towels and sheets washed and changed. Dishes done. Plants watered. Mail obtained, and sorted for your convenience. We pride ourselves on exceptional care of your home. We want you to feel confident in the care of both your house and your loved furry kids. ABOUT US. We have never met a dog we didn’t like. And never had a dog who didn’t like us. Even the dogs that aren’t usually comfortable with strangers end up in my lap or following me around before too long. We are that couple that if we are at a party, we want to make friends with the dog and get excited when they walk over to us. We treat every dog as if they are own. And we have a pretty High standard for how much we value them in our lives. Dogs have always been an important part of our lives. From 30 of rescue work, and owning our own traveling dog show booth. We will walk any size dog and send pics. We enjoy the fact we get to make a living while doing something g we love, getting paid to play with and interact with dogs is a dream job. DROP INS. If a drop in, we will sit and cuddle, play, clean back yard and any kitty litter boxes. You will receive pictures and updates and your pets will receive love, care and companionship. PRIVATELY INSURED AND BONDED. Our dedication to your pets care and happiness is our focus. While Rover offers their guarantee, we want you to feel secure in your animals safety and our commitment to their safety. Hence we have private pet insurance that will take care of any possible issues. We offer a worry free commitment to you and your pets. Trust your pets to us and know we will commit 100% to their care, safety, and happiness. This is who we are. We ARE the embodiment of pet lovers. Between rescue work and pet sitting, we have found our purpose in life. Caring for and loving animals We are fully vaccinated. We ask only that if you are not vaccinated that you let us know so we can do curbside drop off and pickup. This is the assurance we offer to our customers. We respect your choices and work with them while maintaining the safety others want, We have a large cul de sac lot so lots of room to play. We have installed gates that prevent dogs from getting out. We have steps to our couch, a ramp to our bed.
