Located in a private one-story home in Tatum Ranch with a fenced backyard, I am eager and willing to provide care to your pet(s) while you are away. I have owned dogs all my life and have been caring for others as my own for over ten years. I do not currently own any dogs of my own, and am excited to have some furry friends keep myself and my husband company. Lots of love, playtime, and exercise are to be found with us! About the house: Single story. Main living areas are carpet and tile. Animals are allowed in all rooms when supervised, and dogs coming without crates are kept in the kitchen when out and about. Backyard is fenced with concrete and river rock, no pool. Kept at a comfortable temperature year-round! Dog experience: Most of our experience with dogs comes from medium-large breeds, including Labradors, poodles, and boxers. I have experience with senior dogs requiring medication, cream, and experiencing seizures. In the past, I was with a client's dog as we made the necessary decision to put her to sleep. While heartbreaking, I was honored to be in such a trusted position. Cat experience: Cats welcome to board if they are comfortable with travel. Experience injecting insulin. Up to 4 days only due to light allergies. What you should bring: Food, treats, food and water bowls, collar, leash, any toys/blankets/beds/crates that make the animal more comfortable! Boarding reflects a 24-hour period. Applicable Rover "extended rate" fees apply with bookings exceeding these periods. Weekends require 2-day minimum stay: Friday night - Sunday. Bathroom breaks every 4 hour reflect that we are in and out of the house throughout the day. Please treat us with the respect we will treat your loved ones and bring a fluffy, bathed animal!
Reviews
We were thrilled with the love that Cassandra and Josh showed to our fur babies for a week. They took care of our three Labs and handled it with ease. We loved that they didn't have any other animals since one of our younger dogs can be skittish with any type of aggressive dog. We received daily pics and updates which put our mind at ease. Our dogs are used to numerous walks per day and Cassandra and Josh accomodated that. This was our fur babies first stay with them and we will definitely be calling them when we need help in the future. We would highly recommend!
Penny's second stay with Cassandra and Josh was even more perfect than her first because she was greeting and staying with her 2 all time best friends. They love my little rascal and she thrives in their care. I have zero concerns or doubts that she is both receiving the best care she could possibly get and having the time of her life. My only worry is that if Penny and I didn't have our background (and she's super loyal) that she'd run off and want to stay with them permanently!! Cassandra and Josh are the BEST!!!
Cassandra and Josh were absolutely fantastic! I felt so comfortable with Penny’s stay. They showered her with love and sent me tons of fun updates and photos. I was a tad bit afraid she wouldn’t want to leave! I’m tempted to plan another trip just so Penny can go hang out with her new best friends!
Will book again! Great hosts that did lots with my dog and sent daily updates with lots of photos. Great communication.

Information Cassandra & Joshua L. would like to know about your pet
All animals must be house trained, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered. Open to other animals - critters and reptiles - upon request. Sorry, we are not a good fit for anxious animals. Unfortunately, we have learned from experience our house is not a good fit for pit bulls, huskies, German Shepherds, working or notoriously aggressive/high energy or prey drive breeds. Your animal is an excellent candidate for our home if: â—¦ They have comfortably boarded overnight in a home other than your own â—¦ They enjoy playtime and medium-length walks â—¦ They like to hang with a human companion â—¦ They can relax on their own while housework is being done (vacuuming, steam cleaning) â—¦ They can be left alone for periods of time either in their provided crate or behind a gate â—¦ They are bathed within 7 days prior to their stay â—¦ They have not shown aggression towards dogs or humans *All new requests must fill out the following form prior to Meet and Greet.

A typical day
In a typical day we will go for a morning walk, rest during the day, and an evening walk to ensure a good night's sleep. Dogs must be calm during the workday while on and off of calls.
