🐾❤️We’re Back! Small Dog Haven❤️🐾

Thank you for considering us ❤️💕 About Us: Since childhood, my passion for animals has been unwavering. As soon as I was able to care for them, I had a diverse family of two birds, two dogs, an iguana, a hamster, and fish. Fueling my enthusiasm, I pursued Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois, gaining invaluable experience at shelters, vet clinics, and organizations. This journey left me not only with my bachelor’s degree, but also a deepened affection for animals. The following four years were spent in a doggie daycare, where I cultivated hands-on experience with various breeds. My partner, Darrius, joined me in this endeavor, adding his love and care to the mix.

Tanisha is just the best! She takes such good care of Bentley and always communicates throughout his visits. He loves playing with his friend Zuri and has no issues eating, which can be problematic when he’s not with me. To me, that just exemplifies how comfortable he is staying there 😊. The best sitter ever!

Our last rodeo with Tanisha & Darrius was great per usual. They’re always so welcoming & attentive, making my fur baby feel so comfortable. We’ll truly miss them as they take some time away to refocus on their family. & looking forward to when they’re back to accepting intakes for boarding again. 💕

Bentley’s Home Away from Home! 🏠 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Tanisha and Darrius are absolutely amazing! I feel completely at ease leaving Bentley in their care. Their love for animals is genuine, and it shows in every interaction. They are attentive, reliable, and go above and beyond to make sure my he is safe, loved, and entertained while I was away. What really stood out was their constant communication — I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me total peace of mind. It felt like he was on a little vacation of his own! If you’re looking for pet sitters who treat your fur baby like family, look no further than Tanisha and Darrius. I can’t recommend them highly enough. They are true gems!

Tanisha and Darrius take such good care of my Bentley! He loves staying with them and playing with his bestie Zuri. They send so many pictures and updates throughout his stay. Wouldn’t trust my baby with anyone else!
