Availability
We have the availability to care for your pets every day of the week. One of us works part time and the other is on full time pet care! We love taking the dogs on outings and playing with them on the weekend. For boarding, our pick up and drop off times are as follows: Monday: 7 AM - 10 PM Tuesday: 1 PM - 10 PM Wednesday: 7 AM - 10 PM Thursday: 7 AM - 5 PM Friday: 7 AM - 10 PM Saturday: 1 PM - 3 PM & 7 PM - 10 PM Sunday: 5 PM - 10 PM Since we’re a home-based business, we kindly ask that all drop-offs and pick-ups happen during these hours to help us maintain a calm environment for everyone (and give us a bit of family time too!). Please let us know in advance when you’ll be arriving so we can be ready to greet you and your pet.

About Chelsea & Derek M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Owning border collies means you are always ready to be active. And all that activity means keeping them safe and healthy, while also having fun. We have a large fenced in yard for outdoor play. We also have runners and tie outs if necessary. We use gates to separate areas of the house and to make sure feeding time isn't stressful. We have our doorway penned off so no one goes outside without a leash on. We have a few crates to keep dogs separate and safe while sleeping at night.

Information Chelsea & Derek M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there is anything specific to your dog that I need to be aware of. This could include special dietary or medication instructions, behaviors that are specific to your pet, and temperament towards other animals. Also, if there is something specific you are working on with your dog, we would love to know that too!
A typical day
We have a big fenced in yard with lots of room to play fetch and other outside games. We have a large inside space for the dogs to play when it is cold or rainy. There are also several parks and hikes near our house that we love to go on with our dog and any dogs we are watching. We keep track of bathroom breaks, food and medication schedules to ensure the best communication, and to make sure your pet is getting the best care possible. We will send photos of your pet enjoying their time however often you prefer!

A lifetime of love for animals
Pet care experience
We have raised high-energy border collies since they were puppies to be well-behaved "family members." We have watched dogs of all kinds (including great danes, pitbulls, huskies, and jack russell terriers) for many friends and relatives through the years. Our time on Rover has given us even more experience with dogs of all ages and sizes (puppies, seniors, and dogs from 2lbs to 200lbs). We love watching dogs and seeing them play and interact with each other. We also have experience with cats of all ages (from bottle-fed kittens to senior cats). We currently have 3 cats, and have experience with different feeding schedules and pill regimens.
Reviews
"We couldn’t be happier with the care Misy received. We found them through a friend, and from the moment we dropped her off, she was so at ease. The yard was fantastic, and when we picked her up, she was calm, happy, and just like at a second home. Highly recommend!"
This was Bandit’s 2nd visit. He was thrilled to be back and his tail was wagging as we pulled in the driveway. I feel very comfortable leaving him with Chelsea and Derek.
Feeling so grateful for the care Bandit received and the opportunity he had to interact with other dogs. Chelsea and Derek are set up to care for pets and they know what they are doing! Bandit came home super content and happy!
Hamilton was in great hands with Chelsea and Derek. He made new friends and was very well cared for. Chelsea and Derek were also very responsive hosts. Will definitely plan to use them again!
