Boarding • Jun 18, 2026

My wife and I were traveling and needed to find boarding for our dog Chloe. We found Arling and Mary, and our experience with them was nothing short of wonderful! We met them for a meet-and-greet, where we discussed boarding expectations and Chloe's needs while Chloe had the opportunity to explore their residence. We were impressed by Arling's questionnaire sheet, which he used to take meticulous notes about Chloe and her needs and routines. We felt at ease and very confident that Chloe was in good hands. Drop off was smooth, and we received regular picture updates throughout Chloe's stay. When it was time for pick up, Arling and Mary helped bring Chloe and her stuff out, and also helped load things into my vehicle. They are very kind and personable people, and it is reflected in how well they took care of Chloe. I'm pretty sure they spoiled Chloe more than we do! I would 100% recommend them as Rover providers, and look forward to booking with them again!

What an amazing 1st visit my little guy had with Skip and Mary!! He even got to meet a little friend during his daily (and multiple) walks (Miss Gracie) and they were like two peas in a pod. He was pampered and cared for just like he was their own. Beautiful stay and will definitely be back.

Arling & his wife are outstanding pet sitters. This was our new Rescue’s first Rover experience, and they were wonderful. They walked our Max and sent 2 pics, which we totally appreciated. We highly recommend them. They live in a beautiful condo and were very patient with me when I mixed up which unit they’re in.

Skip and Mary were absolutely amazing with Blue! They didn’t just care for him—they loved him like he was their own. From helping with bathing and medication to giving him all the affection he could want, they truly went above and beyond. Thank you, Skip and Mary, for treating Blue like family and giving him so much love. We are so grateful for you!

Scarlett absolutely loves Skip & Mary. We also love them for taking such great care of her. They updated me frequently with pictures and kept me updated with how she was doing. We definitely plan on using them again.
