Pet care experience

Dogwood Pet Services LLC.

Hi! We are Brian & Erica. We own our own pet care business and it's been our full-time passion project for over 2 years (part time for 10 years). We have over 15 years of professional pet care experience. We have worked in wildlife rehab, vet med, and wildlife conservation education. Our pet care business allows us to put money towards animal rescue. We treat every pet according to their individual needs/preferences. We would love to meet your pet! Our boarding set up is a two-bedroom climate-controlled dog cottage with doggie door access to our backyard. Each "bedroom" is a 5x5 6ft tall kennel. We are currently only booking two families at a time. Dogs get daily enrichment and lots of love!

Brian and Erica were wonderful at being flexible with our schedule up in the air and changing from daycare to overnight. Their place is great and the dogs seemed to really love it. They didn't even act excited to see us when we picked them up. I kind of felt bad for making them leave. But boy did they sleep hard when they got in the truck.

Got my dog back happier than I dropped her off! They seemed to really like her a lot so I’m sure Daisy is gonna get another vacation at some point. The couple was very polite and nice to talk to. Would recommend to a friend!

My dog loved every moment here! We’ve been doing daycares throughout the weeks and they’ve been an absolute pleasure during this whole time

I can’t even put into words how much we appreciated tails and scales. We were super anxious to leave our giant baby with someone, but Brian and his wife made us feel so comfortable and kept us up to date with pictures. I am so grateful for them, and to have some place so lovely for our big baby.

Schedule

Currently only doing dog boarding, day care, or pet sitting, boarded dogs will be checked on regularly and have plenty of time with company. Same goes for pet sits and it's easy to fit dog walks into my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and 6 foot tall, covered dog run. Boarders, and dogs over for day care, have free use of our dog cottage for them to stay in, and for us to spend time with them. It's complete with insulation, A/C, and beds or toys if your dog wants them. Every dog is different, depending on their temperament they can have free access to the yard while I'm available to supervise, and access to the dog run otherwise, so the outdoors will be available to them most of the time. Feel free to come on out for a meet and greet to see how happy your dog will be in our comfy accommodations.

Pets

A typical day

Pets being watched or boarded will be able to release energy outside and with toys and each dog gets a personalized enrichment session. Our neighborhood has a quiet 1-mile loop for walks if that it something your dog would enjoy! Unless very talented escapists, they will have access to the yard most of the day along with toys and beds to relax on. Otherwise, the dogs home schedule will of course be taken into account.

Things I need to know: Dogs ability to escape. This will determine how much supervision is needed when playing outside or if your pup has to stay in the enclosed dog run and cottage area. Your pet's temperament both towards strange people and other dogs. Your pet's medical needs, medication, allergies, help getting out to potty, etc. Food and a usual daily schedule. When do they eat, how do they remain alone at home, how often are potty breaks outside at home, when are walks or activity times at home.
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.
