TENDERNESS. LOVE. CARE. FRESH AIR

Pet care experience

Greetings Dog Moms & Dads! My name is Michael and me and my girlfriend, Sy are avid dog lovers who work together to make your dog's stay as enjoyable as possible. Our friendly Chihuahua, Benny, loves daily walks, and is a joy to be around among other dogs. My home is a quaint and comfortable retreat with lush greenery in the back. I have a small fenced-in yard that's perfect for any dog to enjoy, and a wide assortment of toys that Benny shares with company. And despite the negative stigma associated with Chihuahuas, this friendly little guy never grows tired of making new friends. When it comes to your dog--whether their temperament is friendly, mild mannered, unsociable, or grouchy, they'll receive the same, lovable 5-star care as Benny, and in a reliably safe environment. Fresh air, clean water, careful socialization and positive reinforcement are the few services that I provide, and so much more. Tailoring the needs of your dog so that he/she feels like you're there, is what we're here for. Just call or text us and we'll be there to assist you however possible. I invite you and your beloved furry-friend to my retreat, and look forward to serving your needs.

We are very picky about who we would leave our miniature schnauzer, Maggy, with. Before we would commit, we went over and met these wonderful folks. We shared our impressions of our dog and asked the pertinent questions and got all the right answers, but more importantly, when we returned, we were able to ascertain that all of our expectations were met. We know that we will continue to entrust our Maggy to them.

Sy and Michael took such great care of my dogs this weekend! They were extremely courteous when we arrived and reassured us that they would take good care of them. We received over 30 pictures that captured the dogs walking outside, playing inside the house, laying on the couch, you name it! I would highly recommend them both for pet sitting.

Sy is a fantastic dog mommy and Benny joins in the fun! Buster had a great time, and I have lots of pictures from his stay showing him hanging out, sleeping, walking, and just being a dog!
