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.

Alison and Michael are AWESOME! I received pictures every day, and it was very obvious that Leeloo was having the time of her life. I did have to alter my request for Leeloo to add several more days, right before she was to begin her stay, and Alison and Michael were very accommodating. They will be my go-to whenever I have to travel.
