Fenced Yard, With Dogs 24/7

Pet care experience

We are a professional work-at-home couple with a large, fenced yard. We love all animals and will treat your pets like they are our own. We reside on a dead-end street on a 2.5 acre lot in Durham, just outside of Freeport and just minutes from I95. Our backyard is fenced so your dogs will be completely safe with us. We have two basset hounds, Maggie and Buttercup, who love the company and always like to make new friends. Unless requested, your pets will not sleep in crates. They're welcome to make themselves comfortable on the couch, beds or anywhere they like. Because we work from home, someone will be with your pets 24 hours a day and giving them more attention than they can handle. :) We live close to Bradbury Mountain State Park and enjoy taking the hounds for long walks (always leashed). We're also qualified to administer medicine, including injections, to both dogs and cats. We're also happy to provide professional-level photos to you of your dogs (please see the photos in our profile); all included in your boarding cost.

Awesome stay for our pup Lenny!! Dave and Joy sent photos every day, when we picked him up he was as happy as could be. We’ll definitely book again. Thank you so much!

My lab had a great time. He was able to play outdoors with other dogs, inside with toys, and was able to get rest when he needed it. I will be returning to Dave and Joy again!

What a find! Dave & Joy are amazing. My little dachshund was exhausted when we got home. So much more stimulating and loving than the crate at the vet. Dave said, "if she has separation anxiety and trouble sleeping, I sleep downstairs on the couch." WHAT?! Thank you for your amazing service. I enjoyed the pics showing Samantha also enjoying a weekend away from home...where it truly was like home and even better with dog new friends. An extremely professional home based dog care service. Book with confidence.
