About
The home environment that we present for the animals I think would be what helps us to stand out the best, some folks trust us to go into their homes, but for those who are a little skiddish of that I think the fact that their dogs can be at home in our home speaks volumes.
We love meeting new people and their pets. Animals, dogs in particularly love you unconditionally and it makes us smile to walk in and someone be so happy to see you :-)

Lori took care of my Holly who is almost 14 years old with great care. She was treated like a member of the family. Lori sent me pictures of Holly and that was very appreciated. It was nice that I knew she was in a home situation. Would not hesitate to leave Holly with Lori again.

Lori has been wonderful to work with and takes care of our puppies like there are her Own. It’s invaluable to have someone you care trust and depend on when turning your four legged kids over to another’s care. It makes our travels and weekend get-a-ways so much more pleasant and carefree. Love you Lori!!

We left our 2 large dogs with them for 4 days. They seemed like they had a great time and were well cared for. She communicated great with us, we plan on using them any chance we get! They even gave the medication as requested! Great experience!

We have used Lori for many years to babysit our pets. She is very flexible with dropping off and picking up times. I love being able to pick up on Sundays - vets are usually closed. Lori has even been over to our house to feed our cats. Best of all, I can tell my animals love her!

Love Lori and Rick! Super friendly and very experienced with dogs. They both did a fantastic job caring for our two temperamental chows and made my boyfriend and I feel completely comfortable leaving our little fur baby's in their care while we were away on vacation. Emailed updates while we were gone made it all the better. We will absolutely use them again and HIGHLY recommend others to do the same! These are definitely two big dog lovers that know what they're doing :)
