Carla and Rafe were very welcoming of our pups and provided great care in their home for several days and nights. Carla took time and care to learn about them and their routines. Communication was great, with regular updates, pictures, and videos. They understand dogs and have a nice big space for our active dog to run and play, while also giving our miniature dachshund lots of cuddles.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 25, 2026

First time leaving our rambunctious dog with anyone and these folks took excellent care of her. She was excited to go back into their home on the second day and slept like a log every night. Lots of mental and physical stimulation for her. Thank you! Will definitely be back.

Sorry for the delay...I lost my first review. I would just like to say that this was our first time using Rover.com and it was with ease, thanks to Rafe and Carlo. They were a delight to deal with, quick to respond and very helpful in accommodating our fur baby. During the 3 night 4 day stay, Willow's hosts sent photo and video updates and answered all our concerns. Thank you so much R&C--Willow had a great time with your lovely family, soaking up the sun, running wild & free in you large enclosed backyard and sleeping wherever she chose. We hope to use this service again in the near future.

Lovely family! They were accommodating to us and caring of our two Frenchies. I would have Carla and family sit for our two again!

Carla and Rafe are amazing people. I can’t say enough good things about them. They took great care of Bella while I was away for work for an extended period of time. Daily check ins, weekly FaceTimes. My dog is happy, and well cared for. Their homestead is beautiful and perfect for a dog! There is always company and kids, my dog was never bored. They followed all care instructions perfectly! I highly recommend them, they are great people who will take amazing care of your dogs, and go the extra mile.

They took great care of Athena for an over night stay, she got plenty of exercise and slept the whole next day at home. Highly recommend Rafe and Carla, they have lots of experience with animals, especially dogs.
