Pet care experience

Treating yours as if they were ours

When we lost our beloved schnauzer Hans, we decided to open up our home to others. Our little family of 3, Stephen, Laura and Stella (9) care deeply for all animals and want to provide a great experience for anyone coming into our home! We will watch up to two of your 4 legged friends but when you book with us, we want to give your dog or dogs ALL the attention. So you are not going to be sending your friend into a place full of other dogs. Peace of mind for all parties involved!

Stephen and his family are the best! Our dog loves them, and we always know she is well loved and cared for while we are away.

Stephan and his family took excellent care of our pup while we were out of town! We really appreciated his communication, it put our minds at ease while we were away and we know our dog had a great time!

Stephen and his family were great with our dog (and family member) Rainey. So much better to have a loving family take care of her than boarding her. I highly recommend them. Scott

Stephen and his family are the best. Your pet will be spoiled, well loved, and cares for. Our dog loves Stephen and his family, and she is always excited when she sees that our car is nearing their house. It gives us so much peace of mind to know she is happy and loved while we are gone.

Wonderful pet sitter! Great communication, very accomodating and dedicated. Brian and his family were just great with our dachshund (who experiences anxiety) settle in and even enjoy herself. They sent timely photos to let us know how she was doing. She was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. Top notch sitters. Highly recommend!

Dog Walking • Nov 24, 2024

Stephen has been very informative and professional while tending to my dog Oscar and my busy schedule, Stephen leaves me updates and informs me of how the walk goes. I would recommend Stephen to anyone looking for someone to take their dog for a walk.

A typical day

A lot of playing in the big back yard and with all of the dog toys in our home. Lots of interaction and picture taking to send to the parents! We have a little inlet to a lake nearby that we take walks to. If your pup is tired, we bring a little red ryder wagon along as well.
