Pet care experience

Let us spoil your dog!

We have both had dogs our entire lives, including raising one of our own. We have experience fostering dogs for local shelters. Comfortable with giving any necessary medications. We frequently go on walks with our kids through the neighborhood and have a fully fenced in yard. We recently adopted a 4 year old chocolate lab, Vito, who loves everyone and loves to play with dogs. We do have 1 cat who tends to keep to himself. We have a 7 year old and 4 year old who love dogs and are very used to giving them the space they need or the play they want! We'd love to spoil your dog and make them a part of our little zoo! Your dog will feel right at home with us and will get all the attention he/she deserves. Looking forward to hearing more about your dog and giving them the best home away from home they could ask for.

Ellen and her family were amazing. They showered our dog with love, attention, care, and provided us with frequent picture updates. They made us feel at ease as we knew that Archie was going to be feeling right at home for the duration of his stay. She is the best and I would recommend her to anyone. We will boarding Archie there again!!!!!

Ellen and her kids were absolutely amazing! They made Kevin feel right at home and kept me updated with sweet pictures of their walks and playtime. I’ll definitely be booking with them again — 10 out of 5 stars!

Ellen and her family are so sweet! My dog loved spending the night with them. When I went to pick him up, he was cuddling on the couch like he lived there! She provided updates and pictures too. I would love to have her board him again!

Ellen and her family took great care of our doodle and consistently sent video of our dog while we were out of town. Communication was great! Thank you so much!
