Pet care experience

❤️ Personalized Pet Care

Welcome! We’re a boutique, in-home dog care service offering a safe, personalized, home-away-from-home experience for every dog. With decades of experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs, our home was recently redesigned with dogs in mind. We’d be happy to show you around during a meet and greet! We intentionally welcome only a limited, carefully selected group of guest dogs so every pup receives the attention they deserve. We take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level, creating a stay tailored to their unique needs. 🐾 A calm, low-volume environment with plenty of individual attention 🩺 Decades of experience with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special care needs 🏡 Dogs are part of our daily routine, with attentive supervision throughout the day 📸 Regular photos, videos, personalized Stay Care Report Cards, and fun keepsakes 🛡️ Thoughtful safety measures throughout every stay Every dog is unique, and we believe their stay should be too. Some guests love making new friends, while others prefer one-on-one attention or simply relaxing in their own space. We take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level so every stay feels natural, comfortable, and familiar. 🐾 Flexible playgroups based on personality and comfort level 🌳 Fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time 🏡 Calm, clean home environment 🩺 Comfortable administering medications and following specialized care routines 🐕 Discounts available for families with multiple dogs staying together What to Bring.

Doug, Luiz & the Ink & Tails crew Did an amazing job caring for our one year old Bernadoodle and our 13 year old chihuahua. They were attentive, provided frequent updates, and most importantly treated our pets with the love and care they have for their own. We are lucky we found them and will definitely be using their services again in the future. 🐶

Doggy Day Care • Jul 31, 2026

Doug is excellent with my anxious senior dog. He is very communicative and makes sure my dog is well cared for. My dog has separation anxiety and it’s been great having a place for my dog to go and socialize/spend time outdoors in the back yard. My dog even spent the night once and did great. I highly recommend Doug!

Doug was extremely kind and communicative! He took such good care of our dog, and went above and beyond to provide us with a report about her stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for boarding for their pet!

Doug took excellent care of our dog Winnie! He was incredibly responsive and shared lots of updates and fun pictures. We felt fully at ease and know Winnie was having a great time. We will absolutely be reaching out to Doug again the next time we need help with Winnie!

Schedule

Pet care is built into our daily routine, and someone is home throughout the day. Dogs are never simply “checked in on”—they’re part of our everyday life, receiving regular potty breaks, supervised play, enrichment, rest, meals, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is at the center of everything we do. Our home features a fully fenced backyard, a dual-gated entry system, and constant supervision throughout the day. We carefully introduce dogs based on their personalities, monitor all interactions, and adjust each dog’s routine to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and successful during their stay.

Pets

A typical day

Every day is tailored to the dogs staying with us. Depending on their personalities, they may enjoy backyard playtime, enrichment activities, games, relaxing around the house, or spending one-on-one time with us. We balance activity with downtime so every dog feels comfortable and at home. Along the way, we capture photos, videos, and create our signature Stay Care Report Cards to share their adventures with you.

The more we know, the better we can care for your dog. Please let us know about feeding routines, medications, allergies, training, behavioral quirks, favorite activities, fears, or anything that helps your pup feel comfortable. If your dog has medical, behavioral, or specialized training needs, we’d love to discuss them beforehand so we can plan the best possible experience.
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.
