Your Pooches home away from home

We are a pet loving family that love all animals big and small. Your canine might not want to leave after a stay at our house and it will feel like a vacation for them as well. Our backyard is entirely fenced in and is 6-10 feet high on all sides, its a great place for dogs to run around and chase each other. We want to provide the best service we can. We will respond to your messages ASAP, will provide daily photos, and we are also super flexible and accommodating to your schedule for picking up and dropping off. Our own dog passed away this year. He was such a great dog, he has passed down some of traits to the dogs we have watched over the years. We have two boys 13 and 15 who love dogs and give your pup lots of attention. My boys would be more then happy to throw a ball or brush out a pup. We are located between Westport and Crown Center and we would love to host your dog.

Susan was great! She was very easy to communicate with, kept me updated on my dog with photos every day, and made a pleasant, comfortable home experience for my dog while we were on holiday!

My gosh, Susan was the best dog friend/sitter that we have ever found! She was responsive to questions, sent photos every day that we were gone and her sons played with Loki until he snuggled with them at bedtime. We do hope Susan is available again. We love her

Susan was terrific. She sent us pictures and we could see just how happy our little Benton was at her home. Our flight home was delayed and she was so understanding about us picking him up late. We will definitely trust Susan with our little guy again.
