“Jorge’s service was great. My pets spent the day with him and were returned to me well. I received pictures and he was responsive to my check texts. His property is welcoming and so was he. I would recommend his services to anyone looking in this area.”

“Wonderful family. Our Turtle was spoiled with their love and attention (they even brushed her out and made her a wonderful fluff ball. We will hope Turtle can visit her new friends again.”

“I’d definitely book him again and would recommend him to anyone using Rover who wants someone trustworthy and attentive for their pet. Most importantly, he clearly cares about the pets he looks after. My dog warmed up to him quickly, and came back happy, calm, and well-exercised. Josh followed all instructions perfectly and handled everything with professionalism.”

“Darcy and Dave are so sweet to my puppy. they are always so responsive and send pictures of my puppy and update on how the day is going. i had been worried that bringing my puppy to a daycare so young that she wouldn’t do well but it seems to be the opposite! Darcy is super helpful and her time with darcy has been a huge help for helping to teach her”


About: We adopted our first pups in 2004 and cared for them for 18 pup-snuggled years. During that time, and since then, we have rescued, fostered and adopted animals of all kinds to include chickens, ducks and a pig named Kevin Bacon! Currently, we're home to Guinevere, the mild-mannered, 6 year-old rescued mutt. We do have an 11-year-old hooman "puppy" who is just as loving and respectful of animals as we are. We will love and care for your fur-babies as if they were our very own. We are home almost all day, every day, so your pet will never be alone. I homeschool our son, and my husband works from home. Your pet will have ample opportunities to play outside in our 1/2 acre back yard. Our neighborhood is very quiet with houses situated on ~acre lots. We have neighbors with dogs, but they usually just run over to the fence to say hello and then go about their business. In our home, your fur-babies can roam freely, and they will have access to our 1/2, partially shaded, completely fenced-in back yard as often as they need. If your dog is one who prefers walks, our peaceful neighborhood has lots of places to explore; there is a nice park 1/2 mile away where they can sniff around where all of the turtles and ducks like to hang out. Pups who stay with us overnight are welcome to stay in their crate (if that's what they prefer), anywhere in the house, and, likely, on one of our beds.
“Highly recommend Kristen! She is attentive and caring with our doggies. Provides updates often, has a backyard so they can run around, and spends lots of time with them. Definitely will contact Kristen again.”

“This is our first time getting a sitter for our dog and I’m so glad we came across Pat. She’s amazing and dependable. My dog loved her stay and it won’t be the last time. Glad we found her!”

“Debra is very professional and loves dogs! Raven loves her! We highly recommend Debra to any loving dog parent looking for day care or overnights for their furry kid. 💞🐾💯”

“Michelle was great! She was willing to take our pups on short notice and we felt so comfortable with the whole process. She kept us very informed and took such great care of them. Very caring but also very professional- 10/10 would recommend 👌”

“Mark took our request on very short notice and took really good care of Beanie. Beanie can be a little anxious around other dogs, but he handled it really well and made him feel comfortable. He had a great time playing and completely dozed off after coming home, which means he had lots of fun!”

“Aniston was wonderful! Reef seemed so happy (and tired) when I picked him up. Aniston was very communicative and responsive. Will definitely use Aniston again and highly recommend her”

“Debra did an amazing job watching my little girl Nina. She’s very easy to setup with. She has other great dogs she watches over which gives my dog plenty of play time and socialization. Would highly recommend Debra who clearly loves animals.”

“My fur baby had the best time with Carly! I don’t think she wanted to come home. Carly did a great job keeping me updated throughout the day and made me feel assured that Nala was in great hands.”

“My goodness. We needed day care for our two pups and, boy, were we pleased with Alexander and Dorys. They were not only communicative, friendly, obvious dog lovers, but took such great care of our boys. It was quite clear they were interacting with our pups, the entire day! We look forward to using them, again. (Especially since the boys can't stop talking about all the fun they had.) We are very grateful.”
