A safe, fun place to stay and play

Pet care experience

I have had pets my whole life. I always say “a house without a pet has no soul!” Just as I appreciate knowing my fur babies are in good hands while I’m gone, I want to provide you with the same peace of mind. For those pups boarding with us, there will be no shortage of playtime. My children are very used to dogs and will always be supervised to ensure they continue using the same pet manners they’ve been taught for your dogs as well. I am a stay-at-home mom and will thus be able to provide your dog with attention and exercise. We are an active, outdoorsy family so your dog will get plenty of fresh air! For those looking for drop-in care, I make sure to love on your dog and cat the way I’d want somebody to love on mine. You shouldn’t have to worry about your dog and cat while you work and vacation. For those looking for dog walking, let me know if you have an extra-active pup. I’m a runner and can pick up the pace beyond a walk for your pup if need be so that he is content when you return.

Valerie was wonderful. Zoey enjoyed her stay with Rufus, her German Shepherd and her 3 cute boys. I was sent pictures occasionally of Zoey which helped me to relax and know she was well taken care of. When she came home she wasn't stressed at all. She fell right into her routine..Thank you Valerie!

Valerie did a great job ensuring my kitties had clean litter and fresh food as though I was still there. My kitties didn't feel abandoned.

Information Valerie D. would like to know about your pet

Please make sure your dog is used to children. I take teaching my children proper pet manners very seriously, but if your dog has known aggression towards children then we won’t be the best choice for you. Your dog must also play well with other dogs. Is your dog a food snatcher? A runner? An escape artist? Please let me know of their quirks so that I can be prepared.

A typical day

My active family has been a safe haven for past clients. Your pets will have no shortage of playtime, if desired, or they can be given a special place to rest if needed.
