Pet care experience

We treat your dog like family. As former teachers with over a decade of experience each, we know what it means to be entrusted with the care of others. We bring that same dedication, structure, and love into caring for your pup. Each day is thoughtfully planned with the perfect balance of exercise, rest, mental enrichment, and fun. Your dog won’t be stuck at home waiting for you—they’ll be L-I-V-I-N' the dream! With our fenced and cross-fenced yard, agility course, chasing machine, splash pad, pet-safe & non-toxic flavored bubble machine, and hundreds of premium-quality toys, every day feels like a trip to Disneyland for dogs. Plus, we offer snuffle mats, lick mats, and puzzles to keep their minds engaged even on rainy days. And for the food lovers? With owner approval, your pup can enjoy homemade jerky and pup-cakes, lovingly prepared for a truly gourmet experience. Whether your pup needs a safe, loving place to stay or an exciting daycare adventure, we’re here to make sure they feel at home, happy, and cared for—just like our own dogs.

If I could leave 10 stars I would!! I honestly couldn’t have picked better sitters for our Lola. She was living her best life! Abel and Alisa went above and beyond my expectations. They sent updates 2x daily with multiple pictures, which I appreciated, it gave me a little glimpse of my pups day. I know she had the best time and can’t wait to be back.

This was my first time using Rover and I am so glad I did because I found Abel and Alisa. They went above what my expectations were. From drop off to pick up, they made everything so easy and comfortable for me and my dog. He had the best time there with different activities throughout the day and best of all, he made friends. I was worried about leaving him due to his separation anxiety, but my mind was put at ease after receiving pictures and updates on how his day went. He looked so happy and carefree, I could tell he was in good hands. I will definitely use their services again. I’m sure my Emmitt will be thrilled to go back.

I'd give Abel and Alisa 10 stars if I could! I was impressed by their professionalism and how they went above and beyond to make sure my dogs had a great stay. This was my dogs' first stay, and after dropping them off I was shortly messaged with pictures and updates on how they were doing. Throughout the I received updates on their activities along with more cute pictures! They were having a blast. Abel & Alisa even sent them home with homemade dog treats. I will definitely be booking with them again.

Mocha seemed to have a fun time! As soon as I opened the door, on their first meeting she jumped out of the car and ran straight up to them tail wagging! They sent lots of photos and little recaps throughout the days. I also love how they have a whole itinerary for the dogs! So it’s safe to say Mocha enjoyed herself as she was so exhausted when she came back home lol. They are so welcoming and we’re so blessed to have found the perfect sitters! Mocha is already dreaming about going back :)

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and well-being are our top priorities, and our home is designed to provide a secure, enriching, and stress-free environment for every pup that stays with us. Our fully fenced and cross-fenced yard gives dogs plenty of room to run and play while staying safely contained. But we don’t stop there—we have secure fencing inside our home as well, ensuring no pup can accidentally slip out an open door. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a cozy spot to relax, we take every measure to make sure they are always safe and comfortable. We understand that every dog is unique, and we believe in open, two-way communication with pet parents. If your pup has any special needs, just let us know—we’re happy to accommodate! We’ve even cared for blind dogs before, and we’ll always take the time to ensure your furry family member gets exactly the care they need. Alongside our two friendly, well-trained Dachshunds, your dog will enjoy a warm, structured, and loving home where they can play, explore, rest, and receive all the attention they deserve. Whether they’re chasing bubbles in our pet-safe play areas, relaxing in our cozy spaces, or enjoying a homemade treat (with your approval), they’ll always be closely supervised and cared for as if they were our own. When your pup stays with us, you can rest easy knowing they are in a safe, loving environment where they will be watched over, engaged, and truly part of the family.

Information Abel & Alisa D. would like to know about your pet

We want to make sure your pup has the best possible experience while in our care! Please share anything that will help us keep them happy and comfortable—quirks, medical needs, allergies, preferences, dislikes, temperament, sleeping habits, and any special routines they love. The more we know, the better we can make them feel at home! For their belongings, we recommend labeling items with your pup’s name to make sure everything gets back to you. If your dog doesn’t already have a fitted harness, consider investing in one for added safety during transitions. To keep everything running smoothly, we ask that you send a text 10 minutes before drop-off and pickup so we can prepare for a safe and seamless hand-off for all our furry guests. Thanks for helping us make every visit a great one!

A typical day

From the moment your pup arrives, their day is filled with fun, enrichment, and plenty of love! After a warm welcome (and lots of tail wags), we start the morning with supervised playtime in our fenced and cross-fenced yard. Whether your dog loves to zoom around the agility course, chase the lure coursing machine, or play in the splash pad, there’s something for every pup to enjoy. Mid-morning brings a treat hunt or snuffle mat session, engaging your dog’s natural foraging instincts and keeping their mind sharp. At times, we also incorporate doggy art projects, like lick painting (don’t worry, it’s mess-free and makes for a cute take-home keepsake!). Then, it’s time for a well-earned midday rest, where each pup can relax in a comfy space of their choosing with soothing music and snuggles if they like. We have seven specially designed dog-friendly furniture pieces, along with our regular human furniture, giving your pup plenty of cozy spots to choose from (see pictures). Whether they love stretching out on a doggy couch, curling up in a plush and cozy pet cubby, or perching on a cushioned bench for the best view, they can pick a different nap spot every time—because every pup deserves options for ultimate comfort! The afternoon kicks off with bubble time! Our pet-safe, flavored bubble machine fills the air with irresistible scents for a fun, interactive game. After that, we mix up the activities—maybe a short walk, more playtime, puzzle toys,the automatic ball launcher or a round of training games to reinforce good manners. Before pickup, your pup enjoys some homemade jerky or a pup-cake (with owner approval, of course!) before winding down with some cuddles and quiet time. When you come to get them, they’ll be happy, tired, and ready to tell you all about their amazing day! For our boarded fur-babies, evening time is extra special! Your pup will get a gentle wind-down routine, including a warm homemade treat (with approval), snuggles, and quiet time before settling into a comfy, safe sleeping area. With someone home full-time and safety measures in place, you can rest easy knowing your dog is cared for, loved, and sleeping soundly—just like they would at home!
