I highly recommend reaching out to Shannon/Jerry for your pup stay needs.

The owner Mark was very nice and accommodating to our schedule. He's also very reasonably priced. I sent him a text one day just to check on our baby.

We will definitely take our fur baby back if we are ever back there or nearby. Thank you Mark!

I have had friends come by, but I am sometimes gone for too long to feel comfortable imposing on them. I found Lorraine's service My Vacation Pet Nanny online, and I called and was immediately impressed. She made an appointment and came over to meet the cats. She sent paperwork via email, and although I always leave a detailed note, I felt more confident knowing that she was that organized. (She also texts or emails right before a trip to say that she remembers and will be there - important for me because I have had someone forget in the past.) I first left the cats with her for 9 or 10 days in the late summer, and then again for 2.5 weeks last month. The first time I was in the country, and she sent several texts with pictures, in addition to leaving written notes each day (which I had requested). The next time I was on a ship and unavailable via text, so she sent a text on an alternate number I had given (one of the internet text services) and several emails with pictures and a video. Raven, who dislikes almost everyone, actually climbed into her lap one day! She doesn't just do the basic job (food, water, litter, etc.) - she cares about and plays with the animals. For me, her care of my pets makes the difference between my enjoying a trip or not - I can now relax and know that they are well cared for. I give her service my highest recommendation. If you worry about your pets as I do, you will feel so much more relaxed and happy if you hire Lorraine when you travel! I would give more than 5 stars if that were an option.
