58 Years Experience Caring For Dogs The gratification you will have knowing that you made the right decision in using our services will be shared by your dog(s) happiness in our dog-to-dog and human-to-dog relationships. Check out our many reviews. We are very proud of them. Our guests and their parents say it all ! Your dogs are special and you love them. But there are times you need someone else to take care of them, for awhile. That's where we come in. I am retired and have experienced the joys of being a "dog person" for 58 years. For 33 of them I've bred and shown collies (in dog shows). I have whelped many litters, raised countless puppies and found them "forever homes", while enriching the lives of many families with their new family members. I have also owned many breeds. If you are like me, you need to entrust your dog(s) to someone you feel comfortable with. This is why we insist on a "greet 'n meet" policy for the benefit of each of us. My daughter is a pre-school teacher and backs me up, when home. We have 2 dogs. One is a rough Collie, about 2 1/2, with a compassionate heart and playful attitude. the other is a 1/2 mini pinscher & 1/2 dachshund, We adopted her from a shelter rescue non-profit organization. Our two dogs have great temperaments and make your dogs stay, enjoyable. All dogs have the run of our home during the days they are here. I am retired. As such, I spend full time with all guests, including my own 2 , night and day. That means weekdays and weekends. I have a nice sized back yard with large surrounding walls. the guests spend most of their time in our home and are let out to the backyard many times throughout the day. I take care of our guests, full time. Each one receives personal attention and they sleep in one of the human occupied bedrooms. I have a high backyard wall and your dogs are not left alone thru the day. They are let out many times to play and do their thing.
Reviews
We feel very safe with Bogie there.
Wonderful experience, its reassuring to know that our precious family member Mr Sprout is in cordial loving care! Thank you Bill and Dawn
We’ve used a few Rover folks over the years and this was our least favorite. I’m not sure what happened, but Bill said our dogs pooped and peed continuously inside his house. We’ve never ever had issues with accidents with other Rover folks, so not sure if our dogs were stressed with his other dogs in his house or he was caring for too many and didn’t relieve our dogs often. I’m puzzled by this and we were not welcomed back.
Bill was so kind to take my dog pretty short notice and was very easy to communicate with!

Information Bill & Dawn G. would like to know about your pet
The breed is not as important as a good temperament. Absolutely no aggressive dogs. My own pet insurance prohibits me from boarding known aggressive breeds.
A typical day
The area I live in is conducive for walking with dogs and a regular park is within 1/2 of a mile. My dog (a rough collie) has a great temperament and get's along with large & small dogs.
