Pet care experience

Safety first, loving care, never left alone, large-fenced yard. My husband Nelson and I are retired and lifelong animal and nature lovers. While growing up (in France) and until my early twenties, I was one of the primary caretakers in a home with as many as 5 dogs at once. My reputation of having a special connection with domestic animals was established at an early age. Nelson had dogs and other pets in his life as well. Family and friends trusted us to care for their family pet members. Dog boarding on Rover since 2017. In our care, dogs are never left alone, are in a peaceful environment and get all the attention and love they deserve. We understand that every dog's personality and needs are different and we adapt our care accordingly. No matter what, there is always a big supply of attention, interaction, cuddles and unconditional love for all. We love them and equally important they love us too. Please schedule a Meet-and-Greet with us if you are a first-time client. We are excited to meet you and your special friend soon.

Catherine was wonderful! She kept us updated on how Billy was doing and adjusted to all of his special needs. They have a wonderful space designed for dogs. Would recommend to everyone!

Catherine was an amazing sitter for our dog Pepper! We immediately felt comfortable as Catherine welcomed us into her home for a meet and greet. Our dog Pepper absolutely loved spending time with Catherine. Pepper has so much energy and Catherine really made sure that she wasn’t bored and even took her for two walks some days. We received a ton of cute pictures from Catherine during Pepper’s stay and it made the process that much easier. Couldn’t thank Catherine enough and look forward to booking again!

Catherine and Nelson take exceptional care of Fitz when he is there and are very safety conscious which I appreciate! I can always count on great care from them! They will send me multiple updates a day. I can fully trust that I am leaving Fitz in great care. Thank you Catherine and Nelson for caring for Fitz like he is your own!
