“Wonderful!! Katelyn and her family were so kind and helped me get a nervous pup into her home. She took care of her so well sending pics that were so comforting. She even slept near her a while to help calm her. I’m so grateful for such great care!”
“Lanae was wonderful to our pup. She was willing to take him last minute, which saved us from missing our vacation. She took the time to update us regularly, and responded to any question I had promptly. She gave him all the love and attention he requires and I’m very grateful for that. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
“Tiffani was great to work with! She was very responsive and flexible when we had to adjust our pick up time. Our dog was exhausted (in a good way!) when we picked him up. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches.”
“Elizabeth had great communication with me through Grace's entire stay. I also received daily pic's, of Grace, which made me feel like I had made the right decision for her care. I've already booked a second stay and highly recommend Elizabeth.”
“Roxanna was great with Kallie! Kallie can be shy when it comes to new people/places but she opened up right away once she met Roxanna. My flights coming home to South Bend kept getting delayed and Kallie ended up staying an extra night. Roxanna was extremely understanding about the situation and took care of Kallie as if she was her own. Highly highly recommend ?”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.
