Mike & Linda are the best! I have zero worries when I leave my pup with them! They have a great big fenced in back yard & a relaxed vibe! It’s as good of a situation as you can get!

Our Tucker loves it here. He’s always well taken care of and loved. He even got hand-fed bc he refused to eat without his raised bowls, which we forgot to bring!

I knew when meeting Mike and his wife that Sasha would be in good hands. When picking her up, Sasha came to the door totally relaxed so I was sure she had been comfortable and not stressed other than getting used to being in a new situation. Very happy and grateful for the experience.

Mike is amazing! We couldn’t have found a better home for our dog. He took such wonderful care of him, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away.
