Home full-time, TLC & Comfort

We love dogs! Our home is an easy transition as we have no children, no pets, and ample time to spend with your pets. My husband and I enjoy taking long walks and throwing the ball around. Our community offers a dog friendly park and plenty of green space. We both grew up in multi- animal homes and have been helping out my mother with Rover for the past year and a half. We work from home, thus our availability is flexible and open. Let us know if you have an questions or concerns and I will reply promptly. Please note that we have three floors and allot of stairs, If your dog has a mobility problem, this home may prove to be difficult. We look forward to meeting you.

Michael And Allison were absolutely fantastic with our little girl Lola. They treated her like a queen, spoiled her rotten and kept us updated with lots of pictures and communication, giving us peace of mind while we’re away.. We’re so grateful to have found such wonderful people to care for our baby. We highly recommend them..

Michael and Alison were absolutely fantastic with our dogs, Billie and Stevie! They treated them like family, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Billie and Stevie came home happy and well cared for, and it’s clear they truly love what they do. Michael and Alison will always be our first choice whenever we need a sitter—we’ll check their availability before looking anywhere else. We highly recommend them!

Alison and Michael were great - lots of communication and pics. We felt like Gus was in good hands with them. We would rebook with them without hesitation. :)

Bailey had a great extended stay with her besties Alison and Michael. They always take wonderful care of her and make sure she has lots of fun. Our kitties enjoyed their drop in visits and our house was well cared for while we were gone. Thanks again!
