Being retired affords us the free time to provide your pup with lots of love and playtime! There will be nothing better than to share our day with your sweet companion. Our little Maltese passed away almost three years ago, and we really miss having that bond and playtime and seeing a happy dog in our home. We look forward to giving that happiness to your pup.

Caring for One Pup at a Time!

Pet care experience

In addition to caring for family members’ and friends’ pets over the last 40 years, we’ve had three dogs of our own (all with disabilities as they grew older), who have lived to the ages of 11, 17 and 14. They were all treated more like children than pets! Pets should be/will be pampered and given 100% attention while in our care.

Thank you Robin and Dan for taking such good care of Coco. I appreciate the close attention you gave her to make sure she was happy and comfortable during her stay. I appreciate the text updates with photos and videos you share during my time away. You guys are the best!!! Thank you!

I am beyond relieved to have found the perfect sitter for Coco. Robin and Dan suggested a meet and greet and then a trial stay so that Coco would get to know them before leaving her there for a longer period. During the two day trial, I was given updates via text, photos and videos. They kept Coco entertained and very well taken care of. They are the sweetest couple and they genuinely love what they do. I highly recommend them!

We were looking for a new sitter because our usual sitter was unavailable for an upcoming trip. At the meet and greet with Robin, we were worried when Shamu barked every time she got up and walked around. It always takes time for our cautious dog to warm up to new people. Robin suggested that Shamu stay with her to make certain that they would get along. Wow, we were surprised by the glowing reports and Robin told us that Shamu was a gentleman! Robin and Daniel's loving ways won over our little dog. We are looking forward to using them again.
