Safety, trust & environment

Our home is pet-friendly. We understand dog hair here and refer to it as "dog glitter." They are welcome to sleep wherever they are comfortable: in the bed, in their crate, or on the furniture. We have a beautiful backyard, and we are also happy to take them for walks. If we are watching animals in your home, we will be very conscientious to leave your home clean and neat. We understand visiting your home is a serious responsibility, and entrusting us with your pet and home is a privilege.

Information Rachael & James H. would like to know about your pet

We need to know if the pet has health problems or needs medication. If possible, we would love to have a meet-and-greet ahead of time.

A typical day

We can play fetch and hide-and-seek, take walks, and, if they are quiet-natured, take naps! We treat our dogs like family, so we talk to them all day and make sure they are happy!

We'll Love Your Pet Like You Do!

Pet care experience

We've been rescuing and raising Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for over 15 years. Several of our adopted dogs came to us with serious health issues, and we ensured they received the best care possible. We love animals, and your pet will be part of our family while you are away. We want you to be 100% comfortable entrusting their care to us, so please reach out with any questions.

Rachael is amazing with my dog, Anchor. Starting to wonder if he likes her more than me. LOL!

I can’t thank you all enough for watching my new little lady, Gracie. Thank you also for your patience as she was getting settled in.
