Helpful advice, useful information & interesting anecdotes
Pet owners are often faced with the dilemma of what to do with their pets when traveling away from home. If you are like most pet owners, you either board your pet or arrange for friends and neighbors to take care of your pet while you're away. However, transporting your pet to a kennel can be inconvenient, and friends may not provide the level of care your pet requires. In addition it is often uncomfortable and awkward to impose on friends and family. It is also commonly known that pets do better in their own environment.

"After years of working in an office environment, I knew there was something missing in my life. Well it dawned on me that if I could have a career doing something that I loved, I would do it in a heartbeat. So what makes me happy? Seeing those shiny faces as I walk in the door! Our pets are what calm us. Our pets are what make us sane again after a long day at work. We love them. We cherish them. We are privileged to share our lives with them. And all they require of us is to be loved and cared for. We are here to maintain the same level of love and care that they receive when you are home. They will be treated as our own. We respect them and we respect you. And we thank you for trusting us with your loved one."
