There’s something magical about the bond between a child and their cat—shared giggles, gentle paws, and quiet cuddles that say home.

Watching them grow together? That’s the real joy. ☺️

Pavement, sand, and decks heat up fast in July. Protect your pet by walking during cooler hours, walking on grass, and using paw balm or booties when needed.

Test it yourself—if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws! ❌

Our Story

“Puppy.” That was the first word I spoke. It’s also the way I met my husband years later. Our mutual love of puppies. And cats. And birds. And fish. And kids. We both grew up as the kid in the neighborhood who babysat, mowed yards, and walked the neighborhood dogs. The first dog I cared for was the 19 year old toy poodle, Suzette, who belonged to a family of eight children I babysat, when they went on vacation. I knew which bed she would be hiding under, I would sit with her and hand feed her wet food on a spoon and I would carry her outside to ti**le. I would bring her back in and place her carefully on the bed with pillows so she could see the birds outside and she would wait for me to come back a few hours later.

We started our business in 1998 so we could care for pets in their homes because it was less stressful for the animals than boarding and our focus expanded to the dog bakery we started in 2002 which grew to the store and all the extras like dog grooming and dog training. We figured do what you love and it doesn’t feel like work. We try to surround ourselves with like-minded staff, people who care about the pets in their care.

Our entire focus in the store is on providing the most nutritious foods & treats, the best quality toys, beds, accessories and providing the best possible service which comes with years of experience under our hats and offering sage advice to those who ask. We try to provide the best value for people who care as deeply for their pets as we do.

Welcome.
