Testimonials
“Kathy and Paul have always given our pets the very best in pet care. Love, safety and feeding our pets was a NO WORRY when we were away! They became best friends with our pets. We would love to clone Kathy and Paul to have in our neighborhood now! They are great! You won’t go wrong having them care for your extended family!”

“My Havanese, Maya, and I were very fortunate to meet Kathy in 2014. My new puppy was five months old and we began with basic obedience class. From basic obedience, we continued to advanced obedience, agility, and finally freestyle training. Kathy has a wonderful rapport with our four legged fur babies and uses positive reinforcement during training. A great experience for pet parent and pup!!”
– Libby Jacoby
“It’s all about the pups, and our pups LOVE Kathy and Paul. They are loving, kind, talented and extremely responsible. We totally trust them with our fur babies, and knowing us, that says it all!!”
