Susan and John were absolutely fantastic! 100% will book again. My dog came home so happy, healthy, and tired from a great week with Susan, John and other dog friends!

Susan and John were great! Their home has an ideal set-up for dogs with indoor and outdoor play areas. Rosie was nervous on her first visit and they took special care of her. Would definitely ask them to sit her again!

We felt very comfortable leaving our little pug, Gruntle with Susan & John. We especially appreciated the fact that a “meet & greet” was part of their standard process so that everyone could see how Gruntle interacted with the other dogs in the environment. We feel that Susan and John are very careful with their “guests” and that is the most important thing to us. 😊

Safety, trust & environment

We treat pups as members of the family and our care shows it. We do play time, walks with the dogs if weather allows depending on your preference. We have regular feeding times, can accommodate special diets any dietary requests. Dogs are allowed to sleep with us on the bed, and there are dog beds in every room in the house except the bathroom. We let the dogs out on demand or every 2 to 3 hours and once during the night if necessary. We do not use crates unless requested by owner.

Pets

A typical day

I make your dogs feel at home in our house. I have games I play with them, I allow for quiet time when they need it, they can go outside in the fenced area of the yard to stretch their legs and relieve themselves. They spend all day with me so they get all the attention and love they can manage. If they are good on a leash I will take them out for a walk to explore the neighborhood.
