Doggy Day Care • May 21, 2026

I am so thrilled that I found Robert, Sheila and their wonderful Yodi to take care of my Winston. Winston is quite picky with who he approves of plus he has more separation anxiety now after we lost his corgi sister Abigail in March. They did a wonderful job of getting Winston feeling like at home and at ease. Yodi will definitely get to hang out with Winston more very soon! Thank you for taking care of my fur baby and give me peace of mind knowing that he is so happy hanging out with all of you!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 25, 2026

Robert and Sheila were fantastic! They were responsive and easy to work and took great care of our little one, Shelby. Their sweet dog Yoti was patient with our timid and over-attached dog Shelby. Yoti is friendly and welcoming……just like Robert and Sheila. Their home had a beautiful back yard where the dogs can roam together, and Rob is there with them all day while he works. We were fortunate to find them.

Robert sent updates everyday and I knew Riley and Luma were spoiled at his house. Riley is a senior and needs eye drops twice a day, Robert was understanding and provided what she needed.

I have known Robert for many years. He is an honest, intelligent, kind person. He is fair and very sensible and calm . He is physically fit and can certainly take a dog for a great walk. He has good judgment and I would trust him absolutely with my dog. His own dog thinks he's the greatest guy ever.!

We are very lucky to have had our dog stay with Rob in the past. They have a long history of pets (dogs, cats, and even the occasional reptile!) They work very well with our dog who can be challenging, so just know that your pet will be in very good hands. They are big animal lovers, and your pet will have a great time with them!
