Pet care experience

WFH. Yard. Specialty: bulldogs!

My husband and I grew up with dogs and can’t imagine life without them. We have an English Bulldog named Bacon Bits, and next door in the Mother-in-Law is a Frenchie name Tater Tot. We also have two young children, both girls, ages 5 and 7, who love every dog they see. My husband works from home and I'm on a hybrid schedule, so someone will almost always be here with your pet. And with our girls around, there's zero chance of them of getting bored or lonely. We have a fenced in yard for your dogs to run around and play in as desired. At night they will typically sleep in the same room as us - but they are also free to pick a spot of their choosing. Before taking on new clients, we require a meet n greet to ensure all the pups get along -- and is an opportunity for both parties to get a sense of one another.

Leaving Rosie with Vanessa and her family while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she arrived, Rosie was beyond excited to be there and was treated like part of the family. Vanessa kept us updated with so many photos and videos of Rosie playing, relaxing, and clearly having the best time. It made being away from our girl so much easier and gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was so loved and well cared for. We could truly enjoy our wedding and honeymoon without worrying for a second. We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness, communication, and genuine care Vanessa and her family showed Rosie. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again and recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

Vanessa and her family were wonderful! They took great care of Rosie for her overnight stay and also sent us pictures/updates to let us know how she was doing. We felt extremely comfortable leaving her with them, and would highly recommend!

Vanessa and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Blue! They took such great care of him while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. Throughout the week, they kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which we really appreciated. They were also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our changing schedule, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. We’re so grateful to have found them and would absolutely use them again. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who are more than happy to run around with your pups. At night time, we like to have them sleep in the same room as us so that we are aware of what is going on with them at all times. We also have plenty of toys for them to play with inside and multiple dog beds for them to lay around on.
