Pet care experience

We are a young married couple and both grew up with and have lots of experience caring for and training dogs and cats. We currently have a very friendly cat named Gravy Boy who lives in the lap of luxury and is very tolerant of other animals. We love other people’s dogs and they love us too!

Poppy had a wonderful stay with Lydia and Benji! I got lots of pictures and felt at ease knowing she was well cared for and happy while I was away. Thanks so much for taking good care of my lil gal!
