We Miss Ours, So We Love Yours

We’ve spent our lives around dogs and had the privilege of raising our own from puppyhood to his senior years — 14 amazing years together. While I’m not looking to bring a new dog into my home full-time right now, I still genuinely enjoy being around them. We tailor care to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, we are happy to match their rhythm — from active walks to quiet downtime.

Mariana and Mark took wonderful care of Shadow! They kept us updated, and he looked happy, relaxed, and comfortable during his stay. We would definitely book with them again!

Banks had so much fun on her second time staying here! She came home happy and tired from playing with her new friends. They sent great pictures the whole stay!

We got lots of pictures showing just how relaxed and comfortable our dog was while we were gone. He came back home happy and healthy. Thanks for taking care of him for us!

They were great with our pups and had a lovely home/backyard for them to stay at. Sent pictures daily which we enjoyed. Would certainly book them again!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust mean a lot to us. Our girls have grown up around dogs and always show so much love and care — they’ll stop every dog we see just to say hi, give hugs, and plenty of belly rubs. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and no other dogs in our home, so your pup will have plenty of space and attention. We always follow the owner’s instructions to keep up with their usual routine — activity, meals, naps, and all — to make sure your dog feels comfortable and at home. We know dogs need both chill time and playtime, so we make sure there’s plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable, plus lots of chances to get active and use their energy. As a family, we work together to give your dog the best care possible, treating them like one of our own.

A typical day

Our family will give your dog the opportunity to try a variety of activities to see what they enjoy and feel up to doing. During the summer, we will aim to spend time outdoors in the early mornings and late evenings, with plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. We will adjust activities based on your dog’s energy and mood—whether that means a fun game to burn off some energy or finding a comfortable spot to relax and unwind.
