Pet care experience

Warm and Pup loving home

We have had many breeds of dogs, varying from young to old. I have cared for healthy dogs as well as ones with health issues. Currently, we have two VERY spoiled, elderly pups, Nora, 12 yr old lab mix and Princess, 11 yr old Shih Tzu mix, both are rescues. We are dog lovers and have raised puppies as well as older rescue dogs We offer a very dog friendly home and will provide a home away from home environment for your pup. You can have absolute confidence in knowing that your pet is well taken care of and is given superior loving care. Remember, you're on vacation, and they're on vacation too. I am retired with years of pup experience. Generally I am available at a moment's notice IF you're a past client, and have done a meet & greet prior. There is always someone here with your loved one, and they are never left alone. I have 30 years of dog ownership experience, I will do whatever it takes and what the parents want in terms of care for their fur babies.(the purpose of my meet & greet) so the parents and pups are comfortable and the stay is stress-free.

Scott was great!! He was very accommodating with all of Sadie’s needs and our concerns. He mentioned a few activities that he would do and showed us where Sadie would go out and play. The area was fenced in and very secure. He has two dogs of his own and they were very friendly and Sadie got along great with them.We felt very comfortable after dropping Sadie with Scott. We highly recommend him, and would certainly use his services anytime.

Scott is a very reliable and dog loving guy who will take great care of any one of your animals! He has experience with training and takes my dogs on nice long walks (which they love). I 100% recommend Scott for your dog care needs :)

We go for rides, walks, and enjoy plenty of play time! If your dog needs an extra work out we might go for a long beach walk, swim in the summer or take a hike in the woods near our house.
