I recently retired from my day job so we can take on more customers and I will be home all day. This is a family - run business so the kiddos help too. Well, our youngest is 14 and she's the VP. Her older brothers are helpers and share their beds with the pooches.

Dog boarding - family style!!!

Pet care experience

This is our family's 14th year of dog-sitting. Your doggie will get an overload of love in our house. We'll care for any dog as long as they are good with children (must accept hugs and kisses) We have a fenced in backyard and we take advantage of the new community gardens behind our house. Why I love dog sitting I grew up with dogs and even obedience trained and showed them in the County Fair. We have been sitting with Rover since 2010. We have always wanted a dog of our own, but with four kids, 3 of whom are in or college bound, - this is the next best thing!!!

I 100% recommend Brenda and her family! Our dog Remi had the best time staying with them for over a week. Brenda was super communicative and sent us updates with pictures. I felt relaxed knowing Remi was in her care, and will be booking with her for future trips!

Brenda was great and I’d absolutely book with her again! I can tell that she loves dogs and is a great caretaker. I also got a bunch of great photos and updates while boarding.

I can’t say enough great things about Brenda and her family! Even thought it didn’t work out with my dog because he literally broke out of their home twice, they went above and beyond to go after him and keep him safe! Hopefully one day he is calm enough to go back to them.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
