Fun and loving care for your Dog

Pet care experience

Fun, loving and engaging care for your dog! Our family is not ready to commit to owning our own dog just yet- but we are dog lovers and therefore truly enjoy doggy sitting. Your dog will get lots of attention, play time and a minimum of 3 walks a day when you board with us. Dogs are not allowed on the beds, but are free to get comfortable on the couches.

Rick and his family took amazing care of my German Shepherd, Arlo, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were attentive, reliable, and clearly love what they do. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Arlo was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time, which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Rick made it feel effortless. I will definitely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters.

Rick and his family were perfect for my pawchild's stay. They were very friendly and accommodating hosts. They provided regular updates regarding my dog.

Maria and Rick provided exceptional care for our dog, Sparky. They consistently shared updates and photos, keeping us well informed. Sparky, who is usually quite attached to us and often shows signs of tiredness upon returning home, seemed completely at ease with them, showing no sign of stress or fatigue. Really thankful for their great care.

Rick has taken care of my Golden Retriever, Luna, on a few occasions already. Rick and his family are caring and very attentive. Luna suffers from a chicken allergy and I’ve never experienced any issues after picking up. Luna is excited every time I drop her off! I would definitely recommend!
