About us

About Us

We are a family owned and operated business. Our services are in our home at 42 Priscilla Circle, Weymouth MA.

We know first hand how much it means to have patient and loving pet-caregivers. Our rescue dog Brady who sadly passed away from old-age a few years ago, loved us unconditionally. But due to his past, he was so fearful and anxiety-ridden with the outside world. His anxiety made it difficult to find pet-caregivers that would help him feel comfortable. We felt so fortunate when we did find those special people.

He inspired us to create our business where we are dedicated to provide our clients with the same love, patience, and care that every dog deserves.
