Pet care experience

A loving space for your furbabies

Hi! We’re a team with a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. As proud pet parents to two dogs and two cats, we know firsthand that pets are family. Ours are definitely spoiled, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Because of our love for animals, friends and family have always trusted us to care for their pets whenever they’re away. They know we’ll treat every pet like one of our own! Our goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away, giving you peace of mind. We have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, including playful puppies, senior dogs who need a little extra TLC, and leash-reactive dogs that require patience and understanding. We’re happy to follow your pet’s routine, administer basic medications if needed, provide regular exercise and enrichment, and, of course, send photo updates along the way. We’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members. 🐾

Merissa and Nick gave our dogs individual attention and got to know each of them well over a short period of time. They showed up on time, followed our instructions for care, adapted to situations as needed and were kind and loving. We came home from our trip to happy, healthy, nonstressed and calm dogs. Than o you for stepping in at the last minute and going above and beyond for us.

Merissa, is a fan favorite. Our pups adore her and love spending time with her. They love snuggles and playtime with her. We love how well she takes care of our fur-babies. We know they are in great hands and that they will have a great time, which helps us to be able to enjoy our evening out.

Merissa and Nick took care of our two Bernese mountain dogs in our home. They were incredibly conscientious, professional, loving and playful with our fur family. My husband and I felt like our puppies had their own vacation while we were away given all the attention, play, and cuddles they received. Merissa and Nick were extremely responsive and took many wonderful pictures and videos documenting their time with our pups. They went above and beyond checking on our kitties as well. I would highly recommend them without the slightest reservation.
