How about a couch over a kennel?

Pet care experience

Why leave your pup in a kennel when they can be relaxing on our couch or playing in our fully fenced backyard? If you're looking for peace of mind while you're away, you've found it! My husband and I love love love dogs. We have a spacious and fully fenced, backyard. We can provide both a playful atmosphere or a quiet and relaxing space for your dog. We're used to all kinds of breeds and temperaments as we are experienced fosters with a local dog rescue. We do specialize in sitting older dogs as we have foster and sitting experience with them. We understand that older dogs need a quiet and comfortable place to rest as well as the right level of exercise.

We left Hershey w/Julie & her family for what was to be 5 nts. It was our first experience ever leaving him. They were incredible w/him! I got a picture & message everyday, which was comforting. We had a situation which delayed our return, and they worked w/us when we had to change in pick up time, even offering to keep him another night or two if needed! Will definitely book with them again!! Highly recommend!

I feel absolutely blessed to have found Julie and her family for my three dogs. They are happy, well taken care of, and I’m worry free while I’m traveling because I know they are in good hands!
