Your Pet’s Best Furiends

Pet care experience

*We only book 1 family at a time to keep a peaceful and less stressful environment with more interaction for our guests! Our guests have their own Dog Suite with a twin size bed and stairs for our senior guests and an XL kennel for dogs who prefer a crate.* 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐔𝐬: I have always had an abundance of furry friends in our lives. I currently share my home with my fiancé Amber and our adorable pack, Jax, Doug, Leos, Princess Jasmine, and Penelope Pussycat. Combined, we have over 40 years of experience working with pets (dogs, cats, exotics, birds, reptiles, rodents, horses etc.) and training dogs. I have been providing services on Rover for several years. I graduated college with an engineering degree from Louisiana Tech. When I lived in Louisiana, I worked for a non-profit called Four Paws, a non-kill rescue shelter. Our first pup, Jax, was found hiding behind a dumpster, terrified of everything. He stole our hearts but it took patience, determination, and a lot of love to get him to the cuddle bug he is today. My experience working with Four Paws had me do every sort of animal care, from assisting with medications to cleaning out the kennels. Because the shelter was a non-kill shelter, I also have extensive experience/training working with animals with special needs, aggression, and trauma history. We are often foster pet parents to a variety of animals for a local non-kill shelter. Our most recent two kitten additions were foster fails. We have had hundreds of satisfied clients and we have worked in Indiana, Illinois, and Virginia where we had many repeat families. We recently moved to New Jersey for a job relocation and are looking to meet fur-iends.

Information Garrett B. would like to know about your pet

We want to make sure that every pet in our care is treated as our own and has a happy and safe stay. In order to provide the best care, we ask that all health and dietary conditions are disclosed prior to booking. We have no problems with administering medicine or caring for your pooch, as long as we know the appropriate measures that work for your pet. Please let us know if any resource guarding, aggression, or fear triggers. Unfortunately, we are unable to take dogs with bite history or cat aggression. We often care for multiple pets within the same week, so we ask parents to write written care instructions for every pet at every visit or an updated Rover profile with detailed instructions.

Availability

𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬: We do our best to keep your pets on their schedule. To best do this, please select accurate start/end times for each service request or let us know if timing is flexible. We also ask for written instructions for each visit. ~**𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬**~ 🐾 Drop-ins🐾 -30 mins from arrival, and includes food/water, medications, potty break, and play/cuddles. *Due to old injuries and your pets safety, we are unable to walk dogs who pull on lead or are still working on learning leash manners* 🐾Boarding🐾 -Our home is always welcome to other friendly and well-behaved pets! We currently only take one family at a time, making it as stress free as possible for your pet. Occasionally, there may be overlaps with pickups/drop offs (Dogs will be kept separated unless both owners give approvals). Our home has plenty of dog beds, an actual day bed for dogs, and both front and back yard staked leads. We also have a large kennel available for our crate trained dogs. *Please note that we require meet and greets for all boarders and may request trial stays before accepting a longer booking* *Due to occasionally errands or appointments, all boarders need to be either crate trained or ok being in a bedroom for a few hours at a time as well as overnight. Boarders must be house trained/potty trained or will be charged Board and Train rate. 🐾 Board and Train 🐾 -We occasionally provide basic board and train for puppies and dogs who aren’t potty trained/need additional supervision/training. Board and Train is by consultation only and rates are $250/night or $1500/week. Dogs must be approved prior to booking so home and schedule can be set up appropriately. For best results, we recommend booking a minimum of two weeks. *In order to see improvements and address needs, we do not accept siblings or any other pets during a board and train. While we generally only board one family at a time, we have older dogs and cats in the home so dogs who have any aggression or destructive tendencies are not a good fit for us.
