Pet care experience

🐶 lovers saving for our next vaca!

We have taken care of friends and family's dogs on and off for years and have loved having the extra buddies around. We love having dogs for the night or weekends, and even took care of a family member's dog for three months straight. Unofficially, Dan has had dogs most of his life and Cara grew up with a cat so we have been taking care of animals for nearly 20 years. While we do most commonly offer boarding, we are willing to do house sitting if that works best for you!

Jake's first experience with Cara & Dan was every bit as good as we could have hoped for. They are a kind & caring couple with pet care experience & excellent instincts, Communication was excellent: daily photos with descriptive comments & promptly responsive throughout the entire experience.

Safety, trust & environment

Our backyard isn't fully fenced so we make sure we go for lots of walks! We have a really walkable and dog friendly neighborhood with tons of sidewalks and trees to sniff. We have plenty of room to crate, room to roam and make your dog feel at home.

A typical day

We LOVE exploring our neighborhood and taking walks. Our house has plenty of room to roam and we both love loving on dogs, so there will be no shortage of things to do!
