Information Francesca & John B. would like to know about your pet

Tell me everything about your dog! Temperament, needs, moods. We will do our best to tailor their care so that they love staying here and you can travel with peace of mind.

A typical day

Dogs will have access to a large fenced in area to play in which includes dog-appropriate playground equipment. When weather does not permit extended outdoor play, we have a large dedicated dog facility on the same property as our home. Dogs can play and socialize with us and with other dogs (temperament permitting) in our living room-like dog-focused facility.

Pets

We care for your pets as our own

Pet care experience

As lifelong dog owners who love to travel, we know how nerve racking it can be to leave your beloved pets in the care of strangers. We have 2 acres of property, of which a significant portion is fully fenced to let your dogs run and play with the security of knowing they are safe. We have three fenced in areas to separate dogs that might prefer to play on their own. Our resident dogs are Emma, who's never met a dog she didn't consider her best friend, and Honey, our bossy Pomeranian. We own an on-property outbuilding behind our home that is insulated, heated, and has water and electric. We are also very flexible for special needs guests--just tell us about your dog and what he or she needs to feel comfortable away from you. We will also provide pictures during your dog's stay if that is desired. Even if you have a unique situation, please inquire, we're happy to work with you!

Francesca and John were wonderful! Buddy did very well during his stay. This was his first time ever boarding and I was nervous about how he would do since he is an older dog. They kept me updated all the time and assured me he was relaxed and not anxious. So glad we found them!

Outstanding!! Such a large, safe property for Molly and Nelly to play outside and also had a very comfortable inside area when the heat wave hit. My girls were smiling in every picture sent! They couldn’t have had a better time. Thank you! We will definitely be back again!!

I can’t recommend Francesca & John enough! They are so kind, communicative, and thoughtful and our pup had the BEST time! We were provided with plenty of photos throughout her stay. Upon pickup, our dog did not want to leave their house. The property provides great options for the dogs to safely play- both inside and out. This is something I usually struggle to find when boarding Minxy but Francesca & John really have great areas for doggy play time, rain or shine. Minxy also absolutely adored the resident dog, Emma, who served as her gentle protector throughout her stay. Thank you for treating Minxy so well- she can’t wait for her next stay!
