Safety, trust & environment

Our home has an open kitchen/dining room where we have a large crate, if needed. The doors and stairs have gates for the safety of our pets and any pet we would care for. We have a 2-year-old Standard Poodle and a Toy Poodle who is eight years old. They are extremely friendly, smart, and well-trained and would love to have the company of furry friends. Outside, we have a fence to protect pets from the road, but it does not go around the property. Behind the house is five acres of field for running, playing, and exploring. We also have over 30 acres of forest with trails for our pups to explore.

Information Jack & Joanne A. would like to know about your pet

Let us know if your furry friend has any special needs. We have had several older pups that have we cared for until they crossed the rainbow bridge. We are patient and feel every animal is a special gift to their families.

A typical day

Our property is a playground for furry friends! There is a tetherball pole, trails, lots of space to run, and toys to play with. If your pet likes to be outside, we can accommodate because our girls love to be outside. If they would rather spend time inside, we have a safe environment indoors, as well. We love animals and cannot resist playing and cuddling with them!

Caring, Experienced, Animal Lovers!

Pet care experience

My wife and I are caring and compassionate animal lovers with over 30 years of experience with dogs, horses, and small critters. As a retired individual, I love to run, play, and explore with our two poodles on a large acre farm. Our well-mannered, spayed girls are a part of our family and are very friendly towards other animals and people. ** After over a year’s experience with being Rover caregivers, we can no longer book pups over 60 pounds if they are not crate-trained, or if they do not have excellent recall. If your pup has high anxiety, we ask that you consider medication from a veterinarian to calm them while away from you. It is difficult and upsetting for us to watch a pup who is stressing. There is not enough walks and cuddles that is going to help a pup that is anxious and missing their family. We strive to be a loving and personal alternative to a kennel, but we also want to protect our girls from added stress. Nevertheless, we absolutely love caring for pups and enjoy being Rover caregivers!

Thanks for another great overnight for Sir Charles. Loved to hear that he zoomed around with Nevaeh. He so didn't want to leave at the end of his stay.
