“So grateful for Westley’s time and attention to my herd of four (4) basset hounds. During his daily drop-in visits, Westley took them on walks around our property and spent time with each one. He was covered in fur by the time he left from giving them all the scratches and pets he could muster! He was great about giving daily updates and pictures of them that I never would have captured otherwise! Will book with him again!”
“Wendy was fantastic to work with! She really helped me out on a short notice and my girls and I are very grateful for her help. They look like they loved it! We will definitely book with Wendy”

Regina I.
“Gina is an AVID animal lover. There is no one I would call besides her. She has watched our cats, bunnies, chickens, and dogs. I can always count on her when I am going out of town to keep my updated without me ever having to worry. She sends pictures of their daily activities and sometimes funny little stories. I know my animals are loved in her care especially when my cats actually lay in her lap. If you would like a vacation away without worrying about your fur babies being taken care of Regina is definitely the person to call.”
