Animal care has been my life!

Pet care experience

I’ve had all sorts of pets growing up. From cats and dogs, to reptiles and birds I’ve had it all. I used to breed snakes and geckos, now I’m living the life in Kentucky with my golden retriever while working with future racehorses!

Rosie and Honeys had such a wonderful time while we were away on vacation. It was such a relief to know that the girls were getting such great care. They went for walks every day and had another golden to play with! We got lots of pics and updates. Thank you for taking such good care of my girls! We will definitely be rebooking with you in the future!

Shawn and his wife are absolutely wonderful. They welcomed Sherman with open arms and treated him like family. I’m very pleased and will book with them again.

I cannot say how wonderful Shawn and Dianna have been. I just moved to the US from Australia and my dogs Barry and Cobber had just arrived a few weeks before I had to travel for work and I was really stressed out leaving them with someone I didn’t know. My boys are high energy and I wasn’t sure how someone would cope babysitting them. I need not have worried! Not only did my guys have a great time playing with Troy, they behaved themselves and all went smoothly! Troy and Dianna also went to my house each day to feed my cats and brought the boys home for me as I flew in late. I am so grateful to have met them and would not hesitate to ask for their help again. I plan on doing so each time I have to be away.

My boyfriend and I were very nervous to leave our rescue dog with anyone while we traveled to my brother's wedding. We were worried that he was going to feel like he was being abandoned all over again. Shawn and Diana were so sensitive to our anxiousness and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our fur baby with them. During the initial visit, Grizzly went off his leash and played keep away from me, Shawn, and Diana for about 45 minutes. After we finally caught him, I thought there would be no way in heck either of them wanted to watch Grizzly! But all they had to say after helping me chase him down was "Okay, so he'll probably have to stay on a leash." I felt such relief knowing that I was going to be leaving my dog with two kind and patient animal lovers. A couple hours after drop-off, their photos and videos showed Grizzly feeling right at home. Now, Grizzly has made a friend in their dog, Troy, and my boyfriend and I never have to feel anxious about leaving him with anyone else! I seriously cannot thank Shawn and Diana enough! They took incredible care of a member of our family.
