Pet care experience

We would love to care for and spend time with your pup so you can enjoy your time away! We have done lots of traveling ourselves throughout the years and know how important it is to feel as though your dog is in good hands.

Harlie had a wonderful time and no anxiety. She loved it and we were so at ease😍

Appreciated the daily pictures and video. My pup looked like she was having a great time. She must have played hard because she slept for two days when she came home. Would definitely recommend Richard, Sarah and family.

Information Sarah & Richard W. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your dog has a history of aggression towards kids or other dogs. We have a 4 year old son and will not be able to accommodate aggressive dogs. Thank you for understanding!

A typical day

We have a fenced in backyard with lots of toys. We have a very energetic German Shorthaired Pointer that plays great with other dogs. We also give treats & bones (as long as it is approved beforehand by you!), and play inside and out! We have owned dogs all our lives, and enjoy their companionship and playfulness. We can take your dog for walks, play with all the dog toys, and with our family of 5 we will be sure to give them lots of love! We allow pets on furniture at our house, but will respect your boundaries if you don't at yours! Our older kids love to have pups sleep in bed with them! Typically we will send updates along with approximately 5 picutues from that day, as well as a video between 5-7pm everyday.
