Mary and John did a great job watching my Chloe while I was out of the country. Their updates gave us peace of mind that she was in good hands and their backyard was a great bonus for her to get extra outside time as we live in an apartment. Overall we definitely see us booking with them again for boarding.

Mary and John are knowledgeable about animals. They sent regular updates of photos and videos throughout the stay. It was such a joy knowing my dog was happy and well looked after.

John and Mary were loving to our 14 year old. He loved their back yard and naps on their couch. They sent us pictures and kept us informed the 3 nights he was with them. We highly recommend!

We could not be happier with Mary & John's care for our little pup Sallie! As her first overnight with someone other than family members, she adjusted well because of their care and concern to make her feel comfortable & welcomed her into their home as one of their own. We wondered if she'd want to come home to us after viewing a brief video they sent us of her curled up comfy on their furniture with a toasty warm fire burning in the wood burning stove! We will definitely feel confident & secure with her staying with them again. We feel blessed to have someone like Mary & John to take care of our very loved furbaby family member. Thank you so much Mary & John!

A typical day

We can walk around the local neighborhood but I do prefer to go to one of the many terrific parks in the area like Veteran's Park in Hamilton or Heritage Park in Allentown and if your dog likes to hike I also like to go to Clayton Park. Our yard is pretty big so we can toss a ball or stick around for some afternoon fun.

I'd like to know as much information as possible about your dog, so they will be comfortable in my home. But of course, so that you're comfortable leaving them in my home. But a few things I would like to knows are 1) Are your dog's shots up to date 2) is there anything that your dog cannot eat 3) is there anything that scares or makes your dog uneasy 4) is your dog comfortable around other dogs 5) is there anything, in particular, I should know about your dog ex. Likes a certain toy, prefers certain people, etc.
