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

Steve and Deb were amazing with our dog, Brewster! He stayed with them for 10 days while we were away and they were on top of his medications and prescription food so we didn’t have to worry. When he wasn’t eating, Deb took initiative to check in with our vet and us to see what solution we could come up. They ended up cooking meals for our pup which he loved! We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Brewster with them again and they are truly the best sitters around!

Jet enjoyed his stay at Steve and Deb’s house and they communicated with us with photos and updates through our trip. He enjoyed playing with other dogs in the home and was happy and tired once we picked him up. They also let him sleep on the bed which was a great bonus for us because that’s what he does at home. We would definitely use them again!

Steve and Deb are absolutely wonderful. They took such great care of our doggy Bunny for a week, and it’s clear she got lots of love and snuggles from them and enjoyed time with their pups too. They have a great set up and are so sweet, and I didn’t worry about a thing. We’d love to have our dog stay with them again in the future.

Steve kept us updated through the time Gracie spent at their house and sent pictures throughout. He was friendly and gave all the information during our meet and greet that we would need. Gracie had a great time and we will definitely use Steve again in the future.

Steve and Deb were absolutely amazing! They were so kind and caring and took care of our pup as if she was one of their own! They were so communicative and sent us photos and we felt so comfortable leaving our goldendoodle with them. We highly recommend them and would be thrilled to be repeat customers!

So happy to have found Steve & Deb. They are awesome! Thrilled to have peace of mind leaving for several days knowing that they were in great hands! Our 2 dogs were comfortable from the start and had a blast. They came home happy & tired from many days of fun & play inside and outside. We are confident they received top notch care and would definitely recommend!
