Your Pet’s Home Away From Home

Outside of raising personal family dogs (always a rescue dog) our entire lives, as a family, we’ve dedicated time volunteering our services helping underprivileged animals at shelters like the Cats and Dogs shelter inc in Ft Pierce and a horse rescue in Stuart. Our animals are always a part of the family, whether they have a lifetime home with us, or just passing through for a day, a week or a month. We have flexible work schedules and work from home. Your family member will always have personalized attention from our family. It is a loving and safe and fun environment. We allow our animals to have freedom in the home. We often go for day trips to parks. Walking and exercise is expected 3 times a day. We also spend time on a farm every day where behavioral appropriate dogs are welcome.

Riley enjoyed summer camp at Michael’s. She saw her first cat she played with the dogs. She met a horse. What an adventure thank you Michael.
