Fun family home for your fur babies

I am a teacher, a mother of three, and have two dogs and two cats of my own. Our pets are our family and we will treat yours like family as well. My children are 6, 8, and 11. They are very good at being gentle with your fur babies and will give them extra love and snuggles while you’re away. We have a 7 year old yellow lab (Moose) and a 3 year old Altonian Shepherd. They are pros at being a host vacation home for all our visiting fur babies. We also have two cats (Apollo and Lyla)that are very used to other animals in the home as well. Even around dogs that have never seen a cat before or some mildly cat aggressive dogs, are no challenge for them. All our pets are spayed/neutered, and up to date on their shots.

Loved her! Her family loved on my pups probably better than we do! She was wonderful to work with, sent lots of cute photos, and was a pleasure to visit with when we met. I will def use her again!

Tara and her family took great care of my puppy while I was out of town for a week. She sent me videos of him playing throughout the time of his stay. We will use her again!

Schedule

I am a special education teacher at ICEvans and have been teaching for 13 years. I love my job. I am typically at work from 7-4, and am able to come home at lunch to take care of pets. We love to go for walks or play in the backyard to help your pet with any anxiety they may feel about being away from you.
