Availability

I am retired and always around to spend time with the Pet's I look after. I really love watching the dogs play and participate with them often. They like to crowd around me and watch me drink coffee while I listen to the radio. It sets the stage to settle down after fun time. Pet's need their quiet time too. I do dog boarding and am also available for drop ins and house sittings!

I am with the dogs inside and outside. I have a big backyard and they love it! Fresh water and we follow your feed schedule. I treat all our 'Pet Guest's' like they are family. If I am the 'Guest Caregiver', I do the same so your Pet feels comfortable. Our house is their house. I do the same for Pet Sitting.

Information Dennis R. would like to know about your pet

We like to know how your pet likes other pets, or if they like more solitude. We can adapt your Pet's stay per your directions. We learn a lot about our guest's, Your Pet, at The Meet and Greet. We can all tell if it's a good fit.

A typical day

Home boarding starts around 5am every day. The dogs are out in the backyard doing their business. Fresh water while they run around. Playtime is after 8am to avoid waking neighbors. We all make coffee together. We play together! Playtime is essential for successful naptime. Playtime after 8am and then it's in and out all day to Play, Fetch, Run Around, Tug of War. It's Fun! Attention time to settle down and on to our naps! We laugh when the Pup plays Keep Away! Instead of Fetch, they have to have fun too!

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of dogs since I was young! I treat all of the dogs like family and my number one goal is for them to be as comfortable as possible while away from their favorite people. I do boarding along with my Son Derek, he has over 325 5 star reviews on Rover that accurately portray the experience your dogs will have when staying with us. I am happy to answer any questions you may have and am always open to meeting beforehand!

Dennis was very friendly and comforting. The dogs had a blast, and he did a great job handling their first time away from me. I think they wanted to stay longer 😅

Dennis took excellent care of my senior and somewhat skittish pup. He kept me well-informed about his initial visit such that I feel confident about future stays.

Dennis was amazing! Great communication and my pet was happy and well cared for. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Would 100% book again!
