We are a family of three with two working parents and one child in fifth grade. We have Mon-Fri, 9-5 jobs with hybrid work schedules so one of us is working from home most days. On days that both of us are in the office one of us will be able to come home early. We have a 7-year old terrier mix of our own but have room for one additional pup to stay with us.

Information Cal & Susie D. would like to know about your pet

We are happy to accommodate any special needs or behaviors your pup may have! We prefer small dogs as we have a small pup of our own and a child in the home. Though one or more of us is home most of the time, there are days that we might both be at the office so it is important that your pup can spend some time on their own without having an accident or causing damage.

A typical day

We are up early for a morning potty break and breakfast, followed by a longer walk around the nearby park. Throughout the day we take periodic potty breaks and play based on your pup's preferences. We also have a fenced backyard for supervised outside time during the day. In the evening we take a long walk around the neighborhood. There are numerous other dogs in the neighborhood that we are friends with and commonly see them when we're out for walks!

Pet care experience

At our home, we believe that every dog deserves to be treated with love, care, and a sense of belonging. As a family of three with a 10-year-old child and a 7-year-old dog of our own, we understand the importance of providing a nurturing environment for visiting pets. Each member of our family actively participates in the care of our furry guests, ensuring they receive personalized attention, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. Our 7-year-old dog, who is friendly and welcoming, enjoys the company of other dogs and serves as a playful companion to our guests. With a fenced backyard and nearby parks for walks, we offer a safe and enjoyable experience tailored to meet the individual needs of each dog entrusted to our care. Whether it's cuddle time on the couch, interactive play in the yard, or simply being part of our family routines, we are committed to making every dog's stay with us a happy and memorable one.

We had a wonderful experience boarding Chester here! A big thank you to you all for taking such great care and for sending us daily updates with pictures—it really gave us peace of mind while we were away. The communication was excellent, with timely responses to all our messages. We could tell our Chester was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

I was in need of a last-minute dog sitting service to watch my dog, Sid… I luckily found Cal and his family through Rover. He sent pictures of Sid everyday to update how he was doing and he has a small dog that got along with my dog very well….happy with the service… Recommend him highly.

Thank you so much to Cal, Susie and Jonah for taking such great care of our Girl! The family was warm and loving and sent updates and pics all throughout her stay. It was hard to leave her, but we knew she was in great hands. Their pup Rey was also great company and we were happy Girl had a K9 companion! They even went above and beyond and invited Girl over than our initial confirmed stay so she could get acquainted. Looking forward to the next play date!

Cal & Susie were super great taking care of Hubble on multiple visits. Our dog loves being around people, and it's clear their family looked after him as if Hubble was their own. They sent us lots of photos while we were away, and are super helpful with coordinating dropoffs and pickups around the complexities of travel.
