"We're not building a business. We're building a family — and we want your dog to be part of ours."
Hi, we're Jared and Ly — a husband and wife from Simpsonville, SC who have built our lives around animals. Between us we've raised bunnies, pigs, cows, pigeons, chickens, cats, dogs, and everything in between. This isn't a side hustle. This is Ly's full-time career, and Jared works from home — meaning your pet is never alone.
What makes us different is what we've intentionally built: a consistent pack of familiar faces. When your dog stays with us, they're not meeting strangers — they're coming back to dogs they already know and love. We welcome the same families back again and again, so the friendships deepen with every visit.
That's what we mean when we say we want to be part of each other's lives. We want to watch your pet grow up. We want to know their quirks, their favorite spot, the way they sleep. We want dropping off to feel like dropping off with family — because that's exactly what it is.
Both Jared and Ly are home full time — this is Ly's full-time job and Jared works remotely, so your pet always has someone present. We care for dogs and cats, including feeding, litter changes, playtime, and medications. Our 4-bedroom home has a large fenced backyard and over 35 combined years of animal experience.
Your dog will come home knowing the same golden retrievers, the same doodles, the same faces — because our regulars become their regulars too. We're not just a place to stay. We're the community you both come back to.
Every dog who stays with us becomes part of a consistent, familiar group. These four are the heart of our home — and they can't wait to meet yours.
Our resident social butterfly. Lulu has the energy of a puppy and the heart of a golden retriever. She greets every new dog like a long-lost best friend and makes sure nobody feels left out.
Our gentle elder who came home from Vietnam 🇻🇳 after years apart. Misa brings calm, steady energy to the pack — perfect company for anxious or senior dogs who need a quiet, reassuring presence.
Kiki is our first golden and she's still learning the ropes — which makes her the perfect playmate for other puppies. She knows how to play gently, take breaks, and read other dogs' cues. Your puppy will learn so much from her.
Koko is Kiki's partner in everything — play, naps, and mischief. She's gentle, curious, and loves meeting new dogs. Two goldens who just turned 1 means twice the energy and twice the fun for any puppy learning to socialize.
