Home away from home

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m, Ruth & would love to make our home your pups home away from home! We’re located just minutes from the highway & the Merrillville hub for convenient drop off/pickups. Our goal is to integrate your pup into our family and give them a home away from home feeling! We are currently fostering a two year old cat, Ozzy, who was bitten by a coyote. Despite this trauma he is the best boy and loves hanging with the pups in our home!
