“It’s hard to imagine a better dog sitting situation than with Alejandra. During our five days away we received daily photos and videos of what our dog Oliver was up to. I know he was treated like one of their own and was loved and cared for 24/7. Looking forward to asking Alejandra in the future to help to watch Oliver in the future.”
“Hope felt very comfortable with Katelin even before I left! Katelin sent lots of photos of Hope’s time with her and all the other doggos, and it was obvious Hope was possibly having an even better time than I was on my trip! 😂 I will absolutely have Hope stay with her again if needed in the future.”
“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.”

About: We are Larry and Jen. We love all things furry. • We've lived in our home (on a dead-end county road) for 30 years. • There have always been dogs (big and small) and cats inside our home. • Some may say we love our pets more than our kids. :P • I (Jen) own my an online business and work part-time at home. • Larry works in New Paris, IN, four days per week. He comes home every day for lunch. • In our home, we currently have two dogs: a 9-mo-old cattle doodle (who loves everything and everyone) and a 14-yr-old toy schnauzer heading toward the rainbow bridge. Our pets are always spayed/neutered/vaccinated/etc. • We have a big backyard with a small portion fenced in to keep our pets safe. We also have a fenced-in pool (all dogs welcome). • Our kids are all married, and the grandchildren live 900 miles away. So, most of the time, it's just us here. • Our home is set up for pet care with room for cages and play yards. Our upstairs and downstairs are both gated off (we don't use either). • We have a mid-size doggie door that leads from the house to the fenced yard.
