Husband/Wife Dog Boarders

Pet care experience

I grew up with Shetland Sheepdogs and Golden Retrievers, helping with caring for a litter of retriever puppies. Our Goldendoodle, Bear, is three years old and loves swimming and stealing my spot in bed. We rescued our German Shepherd, Bozeman, at 4 months old. He's my early-rising study and running buddy.

Ben was great with my dog while I went out of a town for a week. He sent plenty of pictures and she appeared to be enjoying herself. Ben even offered to pick up and drop off to make it more convenient for me. Highly recommend and I’ll look to book with him in the future.

These two took stellar care of my dog. They updated me with pictures throughout the visit and were extremely friendly and accommodating when I contacted them last minute. Their dogs were also very friendly and even managed to wear out my seemingly indefatigable puppy. I would have my dog stay here again in a heartbeat. I don’t think I could have gotten better care for my dog anywhere.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a yard big enough for dogs to zoom (though we never leave our dogs outside by themselves) Our friendly goldendoodle and german shepherd are well-accustomed to other dogs and have spent many hours at dog parks and trails since they were little. They are both energetic tug-of-war players and enthusiastic nappers, each occupying one end of the couch. Our two cats, Kenai and Lazy, don't mind dogs, but also don't like being chased, understandably. Whether your dog prefers a large space or prefers to be in an area like a gated bathroom, we can accommodate their needs, having our dogs stay in our bedroom if we're out of the house briefly.
