Safety, trust & environment

We promise to follow your care instructions to a tee. We are never afraid to ask questions if there is something we are unsure about in order to provide your beloved pet the best care possible! We have no issues giving medication or providing other specialty services with proper instructions/training. We ask that you please provide a kennel or crate for your pet in case of an emergency or if we have to leave the home for a short period of time to run an errand, however we do have a spare. We go to the gym weekdays at 5AM and do kennel visiting dogs for their safety and peace of mind. **Right now we have our profile set to accommodate one dog at a time, we can make acceptions and accommodate two if you have two of your own dogs that need to be kept together or for dogs that do well with others! Just message us and we can open up another spot if it's a good fit. If we have another dog that requires space or are booked to capacity and cannot accommodate your request, we will get back to you in a timely manner so you can continue your care search. 💞**

Pet care experience

Want to explore all Utah has to offer but cannot find a place for your pet? Need a safe, inviting home for your dog while on vacation? Send them on over! My husband and I have always had dog(s) in our home and couldn't imagine our life without one! Nick works from home so your furry friend will have someone around during the work day.

Nick and Valarie were great and watched Louie when I had an overnight work trip a few weeks ago. They even let my dog Louie checkout their bed and he played with their little dog Marty. I’d highly recommend, thanks!

Valerie and Nicholas took such great care of my reactive dog that when she came back home she fell into a deep depression.

They went above and beyond in handling and accommodating our Great Pyrenees. We will use their service again! Thanks again Valerie, Nicholas and Marty!
