About: Welcome to the number one pet vacation destination east of the Mississippi, where all your dog has to bring is its love for everything. All non-aggressive dogs welcome. Your loved one will not miss you as much as you would like at this heavenly dog retreat. Dog play is encouraged and at times photographed. If your dog is a loner, we will provide a place where being left alone is not a challenge. Off-site afternoon excursions are the talk of the town. We have partnered up with many of the local wildlife to ensure the most exclusive spots are at our disposal. Guests are elated by the freedom to be themselves and appreciate the lenient dress code. Stories of their stays turn into folklore, that lingers on in whispers for generations. Regardless of what is on the menu one thing is certain, your furry friend will come home happy and with a little bit of luck, tired. Standard amenities include but not limited to: Lots of love Just about non stop companionship Scratching and petting Walks Chariot training (aka pulling me on a skateboard) Indoor/Outdoor fun Couches/Beds Purified Water Photo Shoots (questionable photography skills) Medication/special dietary needs Any questions/concerns will be answered in a timely manner. No question is too silly The day starts with dogs begging me to get out of bed. I’m easily convinced. Coffee time. Some sit on my lap while others play. We giggle over yesterday’s adventures and talk about what else is in store. We are excited. We say we will go out for 1 hour, knowing it always turns in to 3 or 4 or….more. It’s always fun. So much fun. We go near and far. We run like maniacs. We explore new lands. Sometimes not getting home until after dark. Forming life long bonds to friends we may never see again. We feast. Some of us rest while we watch the others continue to dance the night away. This was the best day ever! I can’t believe we get to do this again tomorrow!!! All go through a vetting process to ensure there are no poopers in our party. Nicholas is an expert in dog behavior. He easily reads the needs of every guest and keeps the environment comfortable for all. Free roaming of the facilities is allowed until lights out. Crates are available if desired. We all sleep together (separate beds….for the most part).

Neide is a dream! She clearly spends a lot of time with animals and is passionate about them. Leaving my 16 year old senior cat and my 1 year old new cat was nerve wracking, but Neide’s compassion and knowledge put me at ease. I highly recommend Neide!

Hi there! I've known Michelle for 15 years now. I've always admired her mind, she's so knowledgeable, as well as her honesty and commitment. You know exactly what you get with Miche the moment you meet her, and she will be there for you, always. Regarding dogs, she has so much love and understanding for them! I remember there were always dogs and pets in her house, growing up, and she used to be the one to take care of them. They frolic to her! I think growing up with dogs made her develop an innate sense of understanding their needs, and at the same time a sense of responsibility and dedication to cater to them, put them first. She is always so attentive to any dogs when we're visiting a friend's house too, she's the one any of us trust to take care of our own babies! She makes sure they are well cared for, exercised, and loved (spoiled!). With her devoted nature and gentle care, I know she will exceed the expectations of any pet parent who entrusts their furry babies in her care. Don't miss out, go with Miche!

Katrina has been coming over to my house as a drop in visit to comb out my GS hair for a month or two. Katrina communicates very well and responses to her text/messages timely matter. She's reliable! I am please to say that she is very friendly and caring of the animals. She has done a great job with combing/brushing my pup. The groomer was very pleased with my GS hair- no need to cut her down or go through the hassle of unknotting her hair. I am looking forward to using Katrina other services when needed. Glenda

I can start off by saying Mateo is a dog lover. The way he treats Casper (his dog) amazes me. He subscribed to barkbox to have his dog receive a box full of treats and toys every month. When ever we hangout and he sees a dog, he goes crazy to pet them. I can definitely put my word and recommend him as a dog sitter, i'm sure he will do an amazing job, the dogs are going to be extremely happy when he takes care of them. Can't wait to hear back from Mateo, letting me know he became a dog sitter.

Tashiyana communicated superbly with me from the beginning. She was reliable and ready to take on some new skills like learning how to give my kitty a liquid medication if needed. Very good about sending picture and video updates - I think she’s a much better photographer of my cat than I am ? Thank you for taking care of Pudge!

I wholeheartedly recommend Daryluz as a pet sitter. I had the pleasure of entrusting her care to my beloved Waffle on multiple occasions, and each time, she went above and beyond in providing exceptional care. Daryluz is not just a pet sitter; she is a true animal lover. She has an innate connection with animals and an uncanny ability to make them feel comfortable and loved in any situation. Daryluz always greets her with tail wags and purrs, a clear sign of the bond they share. What sets Daryluz apart is her unwavering commitment to the well-being of pets. She not only ensures that Waffle is well-fed and has fresh water but also engages in playtime, exercise, and cuddles. Waffle adores her and looks forward to her visits. Beyond the basics, Daryluz is incredibly responsible and trustworthy. She follows instructions to the letter, administers medications when needed, and keeps me updated with messages and adorable pictures of Waffle while I'm away. Her attention to detail and communication skills provide peace of mind. In emergencies, Daryluz remains calm and composed, making quick decisions to ensure Waffle's safety and well-being. She truly treats Waffle as if she were her own, and that level of dedication is hard to find. I can't express enough how grateful I am to have Daryluz as my go-to pet sitter. She has become like family to both me and Waffle, and I trust her implicitly. If you're seeking a pet sitter who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, Daryluz is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch pet care.
