Pet care experience

Your dog deserves a vacation too!

We have been lucky enough to raise 11 dogs between the two of us. We have raised everything from 5 lb. Maltese with Napoleon Complex to a 115 lb Rott with a short fuse. We have rescued older dogs and raised many from pups. We are no strangers to special needs, administering meds, able to provide short term care until help arrives. We love dogs...well...more than people. We love all dog breeds equally and will treat your dog like our own. We work from home and will provide the attention they need. We have more toys than a pet store thanks to our young pups. We have a fenced in yard and aslo a 75 foot dog zip line as my niece likes to call it. We have 2 guest rooms that can be turned into private doggo apartments, 4ft dog gates in most doorways, multiple floors, mud room, sun room, and a full basement for bathing if/when needed. We are 3 minutes from a fenced in dog park which we frequent several times a week. If your pets need exercise we can provide. If they need relaxation, well, we have a Big Barker with their name on it because DOG LIVES MATTER!

Rachel and Daniel are such wonderful dog boarders! Our dog was so happy, so loved, and so well cared for when under their roof! They sent updates, gave lots of walks, cuddles, and boy did they keep her busy when inside due to outside weather conditions! Our dog came home happy and tired! You can tell they truly adore all dogs!

Dan & Rachel are amazing! We have a husky that typically does NOT get along with other dogs her size, and has in the past gotten rather aggressive. BUT... SOMEHOW... these 2 amazing dog whisperers had our husky romping and playing and wagging her tail with another same-size dog! We could hardly believe our eyes when they sent us the video! Thank you a million times over, Dan & Rachel! :-)

Was worried about my dog being timid but he was settled in and doing amazing within an hour of being there ! He did amazing got tons of exercise played with toys and I could enjoy and relax on my trip with peace of mind he was in confident and more than capable hands. Down recommend them over any normal border.

Dan & Rachel were awesome. One of our dogs is older and needed special care. The other is young and full of energy. Dan & Rachel gave both dogs a fun and enjoyable week. This is 100 times less stressful than the big kennels with dozens of dogs nonstop barking. I highly recommend Dan & Rachel to look after your beloved pets.

Daniel and Rachel were absolutely incredible Rover hosts! We boarded our energetic beagle with them for 11 days, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. From day one, they made us feel completely at ease with regular updates and daily pictures that showed just how happy and well cared for our pup was. They clearly went above and beyond—making sure she had plenty of playtime, consistent walks, and lots of attention to match her high energy. It was obvious she was having a great time and getting the engagement she needs. We’re so grateful for the love and care they gave her while we were away. I would highly recommend Daniel and Rachel to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring hosts. We would definitely book with them again!

Dan and Rachel took great care of our dog. They sent regular updates, and it genuinely looked like our dog was as happy with them as he is at home. From now on, they will always be my first recommendation when a friend or family is looking for someone to trust with their pet.

Schedule

Pet care always comes first. We work full time from home and will provide any pet care needed for your young pup, to special needs, and even your oldest fur baby. We enjoy getting out of house for a walk with the dogs, taking them swimming, or relaxing while they play at the dog park after work. Our dogs are our children and thus are our routine and we will treat your dogs the same.

A typical day

We have a fenced in dog park minutes up the street we frequent several times a week. We can take dogs for walks daily on lunch and after work. Several times a week we take our dogs to swim at a fenced in dog park with a lake and if that suits you your dogs would be along for the fun. We have a ball launcher that gets a work out daily.

Please let us know about your dogs temperament with other dogs ahead of time. If your dog has special needs or quirks around certain people. We are happy to share our dogs food but would prefer food is delivered with the dog for stays. We are used to dogs that have a tendency to run if given the chance but appreciate heads up so we can be extra attentive.
