Home Away From Home For Furbabies

We are a husband-and-wife duo who love animals. We both work from home so your furbabies will be well looked after. We've volunteered with pet rescues (most recently) from 2020-2022, finding over 25 puppies, kittens, dogs and cats their furever home. We have both had dogs from puppies to when they crossed the Rainbow Bridge and are familiar with the delicate nature of aging in our beloved pets. I've had experience administering insulin to a cat while cat sitting. Your animals will be treated like our extended family.

I can not say enough wonderful words about Vicky and Pete. They made Amber feel so welcomed & loved (in my opinion) that even though far away, we were able to completely relax and enjoy our time away. Their communication was wonderful and we appreciated the updates & photos. They get a 20 on a scale of 1-10!

Leaving Shadow, my beloved fur baby, with someone else is always nerve-wracking because he’s not just a dog to me—he’s family. But Joyce and Pete made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free! They boarded Shadow for five days, and from the moment we met them, we knew he was in great hands. Their communication was amazing—they sent regular updates and the best photos of Shadow having an absolute blast. It was clear he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Joyce and Pete truly went above and beyond to make sure Shadow felt at home, and their genuine love for dogs shines through. I never once worried while we were away, which says everything. They will be the first people we reach out to next time we plan a trip out of town. If you’re looking for trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitters who will treat your pup like their own, Joyce and Pete are the ones! Shadow can’t wait for his next stay with them. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💖 Thank you, Joyce and Pete!

Joyce and Pete are the best. Sneakers was very happy and hesitated to come back home. They took exceptional care of him and we would love to get their help in future.

This wonderful couple has taken care of our senior Old English Sheepdog twice. They clearly love animals! Communication both before and during the stay was fantastic. Will definitely continue to use them every time we go out of town.
