Mary & Norman were great with my pup! He has separation anxiety and needs a little patience when it comes to meal time. They kept me updated on how Franklin was doing and sent me pictures each day.

Mabel just loves Norm and Mary. She was able to get tons of exercise. As we live in the UP and still haves tons of snow. Thank you so very much for taking such great care of Mabel.

Schedule

Norm works the early hours until 2:30pm during the week, I work retail hours. So, the most your pet will be left at home alone is 4 hours. We love to take walks and give a lot of pets and love. Your dog will be the only dog here at the time of boarding so will have our full attention.

Safety, trust & environment

We allow pets on the bed and furniture. However, we do live in a townhouse so no fenced in yard. That will be no issues for our dog however as we love to go on walks!

A typical day

My husband and I like to go on walks outside. We live in an area with a nice walking path and love to have doggie cuddles.
