Our Focus is Your Family's Pets

Pet care experience

Six years of Rover and counting! We are an energetic family of 8 (mom and dad plus 6 kids ages 5-22 yrs) who homeschool and are mostly home during the day. After 15 years of owning dogs and cats, we are currently pet-free in a large home in Papillion with a big fenced yard. Because we are a homeschooling family, taking good care of your pet will be part of the lesson plan; a daily walk weather permitting, playing in the yard, going on errands in the car, trips to the park in good weather, and little boys to snuggle to sleep with are part of the fun. Also available for doggie daycare, cat and dog drop-ins very close by, and caring for caged animals. Since we only take one family's pets at a time, overnights are calculated in 24 hour increments. If you need to drop off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon or evening, day care rates will apply. Pick up/drop off hours are 8am-9pm. Please clarify what time you plan to drop off and pick up at the time of booking to avoid any overlap with another client.

We have a senior min pin with health issues. We had boarded her once at a kennel which was a disaster. Leaving Mia with Emily gave us peace of mind and we were able to enjoy our vacation. We had complete confidence in her ability to address Mia's challenges. When we picked her up we could tell it had been a positive experience for her. We would totally book again.

They were super friendly and took great care of our pup. I had full confidence after meeting Emily that our Daisy was in good hands.

Elsa (GSD) really enjoys staying with the family instead of a kennel. I really appreciate the communication.

Information Emily & Jim H. would like to know about your pet

Your dog(s) must be tolerant of the attentions of younger children. People are always coming and going--we would not be the right family for a dog who is averse to lots of movement and loud noise. Dogs must be ok with being crated for short periods of time when we are all out, and pups that know to potty when allowed into the backyard fit our lifestyle. Unfortunately dogs who like to find inedibles like socks, nerf darts, shoes, and stuffed animals to chew will not be a good fit for our household at this time, and likewise we can not offer care to puppies in our home at this time.

A typical day

Emily and the kids like to hike and visit the park as part of our homeschooling day. Family-friendly neighborhood and older kids means lots of opportunities for walks. Short trips in the car to take kids to and from their activities round out the experience.

While staying with us, your pet will be part of the family. Someone is usually home most of the time, so if your pet needs to go out, wants to be pet, is in the mood to play, or just wants to relax in the spot of sun on the floor, they can have whatever they need.
