Grateful Rich was able to watch our girl again. He is the reason we are able to enjoy ourselves when we are away. We know our pup is happy and in paradise when she is in his care. Thank you Rich!

The first night was very stressful for my three pets (2 Sheppard 1 husky); they were anxious and had a really hard time, as it was their first time away from home. Rich called me right away to explain me what it is going on. He was very nice and patience not only in handling the dogs but also in giving them time to get to know him. One of my pets requires daily medication; Rich followed the instructions perfectly, and there were no issues. My pets stayed safe and happy for about three weeks, and it was a wonderful experience; l am very satisfied with Rich' work. Thank you very much Rich

Safety, trust & environment

Our goal is to maintain a relaxed, comfortable and safe atmosphere for all involved. Aggressive, domineering, and reactive dogs unwelcome. This is a place of fun and enjoyment. Comfort for my dogs, our guests, and you (their parents) is the objective.

Pets

A typical day

Our guests experience a change in atmosphere regularly during the day. Dogs are encouraged to swim, run, play, and even bark. They can swim with the swans in the pond, sleep under a tree. run and play around, basically...interact. Doggy-door in place most days giving the dogs the freedom to go out and stay in at will. Multiple easy-access water bowls are refilled frequently. Raised feeding stations.
