Pet care experience

30 yrs experience🐾 Let’s meet!

Hi! We are JT and Janelle... the perfect full-time care TEAM, married 34 years, with 30 years of professional experience training and working with dogs. *We DO require proof of updated vaccinations before boarding. We live on 5 peaceful, wooded acres with a massive, fully fenced, grass yard. We are “Empty-nesters”, so our full time job and focus is on doing what we love!🐾💞 We only take a handful of dogs in order to offer maximum time and attention for your precious fur baby/ies. We offer a structured, individualized environment (not a free-roam home), and keep all boarding dogs separate from each other. So if you have a pup with social issues, dog aggression, fear-based behavior, timid, etc etc.. we are a safe place for them. We love all dogs and all ages, with the experience and time to properly care for all kinds! We would be honored to become your pup's home away from home!🥰🐾💞

JT and Janelle provided the perfect home away from home for our dogs. They kept in touch with pictures, played with them as much as the dogs wanted, and met every need. We will definitely use their services again.

Janelle is great at keeping us informed on how she’s doing and sending updates. Coco just loves the space to run around and of course being loved on. Thanks again for taking care of her!

Janelle and JT were so kind and patient with our two dogs! I love that they are trusted dog people who understand dog behavior and how to deal with each dog. This is not just a crash pad for your puppy! They actually know what they’re doing!

Schedule

This is our FULL-TIME job! Your pup WILL NOT go without. Every pup is different, with countless likes and dislikes. We cater to the INDIVIDUAL, whether they enjoy fetch or walks, or those who are more on the lazy side lol. Whatever it is that keeps YOUR fur baby emotionally and physically healthy, that is what we will strive to accomplish in our home!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is our NUMBER ONE goal and focus! This is why we use crates when it's time to rest, or when other pups are coming and going. We offer a more structured environment for those who don’t do well with free roam or group play scenarios. Some dogs have never been crated, and we DO work with those dogs to help them feel SAFE and comfortable when it's time to rest. Also, many dogs are not "dog friendly", so we take every precaution to offer a calm, safe and happy environment for everyone.

Pets

A typical day

We love to stimulate your fur baby emotionally and physically by running them in our large, fenced yard. If they love fetch or frisbee we LOVE that. Or they may just prefer lots of exploring the yard or walks. We NEVER leave your pup/s unsupervised even in our fenced yard. We are always with them for ANY outside time.

It's important for us to get a copy of your pups updated shot records prior to arrival via email. We require all of our boarders to be fully vaccinated and prefer if they are on a flee and tick regimen. If your pup is showing any signs of illness, runny/bloody stools, vomiting, runny nose, cough, lethargy, not eating or drinking, etc PLEASE consult with us before bringing them. Canine Cough (like a human cold) is highly contagious amongst dogs. Same with Giardia. We always want the fur babies in our home to arrive healthy so everyone gets to go home healthy and happy💞🐾🙏
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
