Fun-filled, active weekend awaits!
Pet care experience
Hello! We are two active people with a passion for pets. Your pup can expect a time filled with walking, playing, going to he park, hiking, and backyard romping (yard is fenced in and huge). We have a very dog-friendly 13-year old cat and an active young playful pup, Juniper. Your pup will be a social butterfly in their time away - surely playing with the other dogs in our triple decker and meeting neighborhood pups in our super dog friendly area. We are currently working from home so your pup will be supervised throughout. We both have had dogs our entire lives, including growing up with foster dogs of all ages and special needs and are able to handle a variety of breeds and sizes. We would love a 2nd dog but our condo is too small for a permanent 2 dog family so we’d love to make your dog an honorary member of the family for the weekend. We will send you ample pictures and videos so you’ll feel like you never left. Cant wait to meet your pup! PUPDATE: unfortunately Emily is back at work so now only doing long weekend stays :(
Reviews
It was so great having Emily & John care for our dog for the weekend. They took the time to meet us beforehand and let our dog get to know theirs. The weekend Riggy spent with them was fun packed and we got cute videos and pictures of all the fun updates. I would highly recommend them!
Emily and John have watched our dog, Jackie twice now for long weekends. They have become Jackie’s second family! Emily and John send amazing pictures to update us throughout her stay. Jackie goes with them on the most fun adventures...hiking, dog parks and brewery trips. We feel 100% comfortable with Jackie in their care. They are very responsive and accommodating. We are so grateful for them!
Emily and John were great. They did a great job looking after our (at times) finicky puppy, and I think he had more fun boarding with them than we did on our vacation. They communicated frequently and were prompt with replies, followed the care guidelines we left closely, and made the whole process easy and stress free. We'll be happy to board with them again in the future!
Emily and John took great care of my older beagle-mix, Edie, when I was away. I was nervous to leave her with someone new, since she has a history of escaping/running away and can be skittish around other dogs, but she had a great time hanging out in Emily and John's fenced-in back yard and playing with their dog and their downstairs neighbor's older dog. I received several pictures and videos daily that made me feel like Edie was with me on my trip. Edie didn't want to leave!

Fenced in yard so you know your pup is safe we don’t have Rovers off leash and will use our long lead Since only doing shorter stays now we often never leave the pups alone but do like to make a good plan with you how we should keep your dog if we leave. We always keep our kitty separate if we’re not there!
