A typical day

Keri and I love taking frequent walks throughout our neighborhood, and we’d be thrilled to share those walks with your dog! Being outdoors and staying active is something we truly enjoy. We’re also blessed with five amazing grandchildren who keep us energized and on our toes, so spending time playing, walking, and bonding with your dog would be an absolute joy for us!

I never have to worry about Paisley when he is staying with Keri and Bob. They love on him as much as we do and Paisley just loves going to staycation with them. Thank you guys for treating him like one of yours.

They love dogs and it shows. Caring family environment for our Diego. We received updates and pictures during the day. Their profile is accurate and they deliver quality care as promised. Easy and pleasant communication. Prompt responses.

If I could, I’d give them 10 stars 🤩🤩. Bob and Keri were AMAZING with our wire fox terrier and yorkie. We are very picky about who watches our dogs. Bob and Keri exceeded our expectations and we are so happy we found them. Within the first few minutes of meeting them, it was obvious this was a loving home and we knew our dogs would be given so much love and attention, which they did! Also, my mind was at ease knowing my dogs would be safe with their fully fenced backyard. Throughout the week we never had to wonder about the dogs because Keri was in contact with me constantly. She sent so many wonderful pics and videos! Bob and Keri thank you for taking the best care of our fur babies! We look forward to our next booking!

I had an amazing experience with this lovely couple and couldn’t be happier with the care they provided. They were reliable, communicative, and treated my dog like their own, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. I appreciated the updates and could tell my pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. It’s not easy finding someone you fully trust with your pet, but they went above and beyond, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and loving dog sitter.
