Pet care experience

We will snuggle and spoil your dog!

For as long as I can remember, We have always been around and loved animals. We love all dogs!! We have fostered for local rescues and also for friends and family who needed help with their dogs. Longest we rescued a dog was for about 1 year long. Are dogs adapt pretty quickly to new furr friends/visitors. We have an underground fence, which our dogs wear special collars. When we have guests we use a leash or tie out.

Hazel had an amazing first day with Melissa! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience - Melissa was attentive, communicative, and clearly wonderful with puppies. The fact that Hazel didn’t want to leave says everything! 😊

Safety, trust & environment

We have an underground fence and tie outs for dogs. We live on 2 acres. Our property is surrounded by trees and lots room to run. We have had dogs that need medications and special attention, we are willing to do these things when we watch them. If your dog has medication or injections needed we are able to accommodate those needs.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or wants while staying at our home. Do they need to be fed alone? Are they ok with stairs? Do they have any allergies? Do they need to be on a leash while outside? Also include things or habits you do not want them to have - example our dogs are allowed on furniture if yours isn't let us know.
