Pet care experience

Your small pup's paradise!

My wife and I are retired and at home full time. Your pups will get our undivided attention during their stay. Our home is a safe place for your pet to relax on the couch, sunbathe on the lanai, or run around the fully fenced/grass yard to burn off that energy. I will take them out for playtime regularly, for when they are happy, we are happy! We have been caring for ours/others' dogs for over 23 years. We can administer medications, give baths, and support any reasonable requests for your furry pals. **We prefer to take in smaller dogs, up to 25lbs.** This ensures a consistent safe environment for them in all areas of our home. Pets slightly over 25lbs will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Any stays 5 nights or longer will include a free bath. **New to Rover? Take $20 off your first booking with us!
