Doggy Day Care • Nov 20, 2025

Rhett has been so great to work with. We have booked doggy day care and boarding with him. He is always very communicative and takes excellent care of our puppy, Betty. She is always so excited when we pull up to his house!

Boarding • Oct 22, 2024

Rhett did an amazing job with our sometimes difficult, very high energy dog for a long vacation. He sent many photos and updates causing us to feel extremely comfortable about our dog back home! Our dog came home in great spirits and tired, what more could you ask for. Thank you very much, Rhett and family!

Boarding • Jul 22, 2024

Rhett was great with our 11 year old special needs shih tzu. We were out of the country for 6 days. He provided consistent updates and kept us in the loop on feeding/medications and how everything was going. He was thorough on documenting our dog’s insulin injections and you could tell he was well experienced. We felt at ease with our dog being with him and his family for the week. We highly recommend Rhett.

Pets

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks and letting them sniff new environments. Walking is a great physical stimulation, but sniffing allows for more mental stimulation as well. Snuffle mats and toys that are interactive are another way to get both physical and mental stimulation in our pets!

Just let me know if your dog has any tendencies, you believe I should be aware of. Bolting, rough play, indoor accidents, trash/counter surfers, etc.
