A house is not a home without a dog

Pet care experience

My wife and I have had pets in our lives ever since childhood. We have recently lost our beloved cattle dog Fiona after only six years. Having a dog in our house even if only for a short time is like therapy for us. We both love animals and would be honored taking care of your pet while you are away.

Alice always has a fantastic time with Mike and Karen. They are active caretakers and she gets to go on adventures, enjoy pup cups and more. I love all the fun pics they send. Im never worried about Alice when she is in their care.

Mike and Karen are the ONLY people we want to care for our pup. In fact, we often feel guilty picking her up from their home because she loves them so much … as do we. We couldn’t ask for more loving, competent people to care for Poppy while we’re away.
