Missing our lab/shep of 16 yrs.

Pet care experience

We had two dogs, chocolate lab (7 years) and lab/shep mix (16 years). We miss them both terribly but are not yet ready to fill the void of their losses. We are a family with 2 children (11 & 14) who are very familiar with looking after animals. We love cuddles and outdoors and have I’ll provide lots of love and exercise while you are away.

Highly recommend! They took amazing care of Zuko and treated him like family. We received lots of updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Zuko came home happy and relaxed—we’ll definitely book again!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. With my elderly lab Beau, it was so important to find someone who truly understands senior dogs, and Melissa and Jacob were the perfect fit. Knowing they have experience with older dogs immediately put me at ease. Right from the start , Melissa made me feel completely comfortable and confident that my dog would be in great hands. Her, along with her family, were warm, attentive, and clearly cared about providing a positive experience not just for pets, but for owners as well. When I picked Beau up, it was obvious he had an amazing time. He was happy, bouncy, and soaking up affection—something that really meant a lot to me given his age. It was clear he felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciate everything Melissa, Jacob, and their family did and would absolutely trust them again with my senior dog. I will most definitely be recommending them to others and using their services again in the future.
