Pet care experience

I am a retired teacher/dog owner

We have a lifetime of experience of raising and providing for our own pets. I am now retired and have plenty of time to provide a loving space for your pet. We have a fenced in yard with open woods beyond that. I will be more than happy to provide any service in pet care to your loved one. We consider our pets family and would love your pet to become a part of our extended family! We do require a meet and greet prior to booking therefore a ten day to 2 week advanced notice is preferable for new pups. Repeat customers, this is not required. It is almost impossible to watch a new pup with a day or two notice. During the meet and great, you will sit with us to go over other requirements during the stay, such as vet info and emergency contact info. Thank you Please understand that if you choose to bring your pup over while other boarders are here, We will doour absolute best to keep them separated from your pup but there are times when you may meet other boarding pups. We are home at convenient hours. We care for your pup as if it was our pup while you travel or just need a break We have a fenced in yard and your pet lives in our home while you travel. They can swim as well as long as they are used to a pool. Thank you

Great to know my Sophie was in good, loving hands with Steve and Debbie. They communicated with me every day sending photos often. Scheduling with them is a breeze as they are uber responsive. This was our first time working with them; it won’t be our last.

Steve and Deb were great. Their home was safe, clean and secure. They are both great communicators and very welcoming. Our dog had the best time. I am looking forward to booking with them again. Highly recommended.

Maggie loves to mingle with other dogs whether at Steve’s or at the groomer. Steve is kind enough to send regular updates via pictures so we know she’s well cared for. Would recommend him without hesitation.

Poppy loved her stay with Steve and Deb! She came home happy and tired, which is always a great sign. Their communication was excellent and I loved the photo updates throughout her stay. Any pup would be in great hands with them. I highly recommend them and will definitely book with them again!
