Services for smaller dogs

Pet care experience

We are an active, retired couple. When we first moved to the area we realized how challenging it was to find boarding services we felt comfortable leaving our small dog with. We wish to provide boarding and daycare services for smaller dogs. Away from home services are available to any sized breed. We walk at least three times daily weather permitting, and are close to parks and trails. We have one small dog who is accepting of furry visitors. We have a large pet secured porch, and fenced yard for your pet to enjoy.

Thank you Darren and Iris for always taking such good care of Karma. I miss her when I go away but I know she is in a good home where she is walked and cuddled and looked after, so it makes it much easier.

Darren and Iris are truly the best, as always! The girls are so well cared for and loved like they’re their own. I honestly can’t say enough good things about these incredible, kind-hearted people. Nya and Muffy will definitely be back! Thank you both for giving us such peace of mind—we trust you with all our hearts.

Remi is so well taken care of by Darren and Iris. She loves napping on the top of the couch in their sunny window

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
