Home Full Time - Dog Lovers

Hi and thanks for visiting our profile. My husband, Jim, and I both work from home full time, so we are able to devote plenty of time and attention to your furry friend. We also have a 17 year old daughter who loves pets. We are located in Bow NH, conveniently between Concord and Manchester. We love to take walks and have lots of forest trails near our home. We started as Rover sitters when we lived in Texas and just recently started up again now that we are settled in NH. We have always had pets - currently we have a 9 year old black lab/border collie mix "Oreo" and 1 calico cat "Callie". Our 14 year old golden retriever passed away a few years ago, so we are familiar with the needs of elderly dogs as well. Our goal is to make your dog feel at home in our home; we'd love to meet you! Please note: for dogs that will be staying at our home, we do ask that you provide proof of current vaccinations - including Bordetella. My husband and I both work from home, so we are around all day. We typically take at least one two mile walk in the woods each day, but we are flexible based on your dog's needs. Our dog Oreo is very friendly and gets along with all kinds of dogs, big and small. We typically only take one client at a time (one for boarding and one for daycare). We're also happy to do a meet and greet prior to boarding/day care

Heather was wonderful with our dog, Millie!! She sent lots of updates and pictures. They have a beautiful, safe yard where Millie can run free with their dog, Oreo! She stayed with them for 9 days and we hope she can stay again soon. 😊

Heather and Jim (and Oreo!) took excellent care of Pirate and they will be our first choice when we need to board him again!
