Dropping our dog off with Kathy and James is the easiest part of any trip. We know they will take such great care of our dog and provide updates throughout. We give our highest recommendation to work with Kathy and Jim.

Kathy and James took incredible care of Kyle. They spoiled him, took him for walks and sent me numerous cute pictures of Kyle enjoying himself with a kong they let Kyle play with. Kyle loved the kong so much I’m getting him one today. I will definitely have Kathy and James take care of Kyle again. Wonderful care givers ❤️

Katy and James never fall short of excellent care. They have watch Moscow on several occasions. Moscow has some issues and they are extremely accommodating to his needs. We couldn’t ask for better sitters.

We can’t say enough good things about Kathy and Jim! They took such amazing care of Otis while we were away. From regular updates with photos and messages to making sure all of my dog’s routines were followed perfectly, I felt completely at ease knowing Otis was in such good hands. Highly Recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

We have an attached in law suite which is fully furnished and currently only being used occasionally when my children come to town. There is a door going out to a fenced yard with no steps, in case your senior dog struggles with steps. The yard is fully fenced with a four foot chain link fence. We also have an Apple Airtag to attach to your dogs collar for added peace of mind. There is a comfy couch and bed. If your pet spends the night, I will spend the night in the suite with them so that they don’t get nervous. All bedding and furniture covers are laundered frequently and the suite is roomy and comfortable. Your pet will have their own space and will get plenty of attention. We only board one dog at a time, so your dog will get plenty of attention and activity. Also, in addition to the insurance that Rover provides, we have a personal Pet Care Insurance policy. For added convenience, I am located less than 5 miles from Cleveland Hopkins Airport.

A typical day

Your dog will be well taken care of with lots of attention and outside time. Dogs are normally walked twice a day, weather permitting. The suite has hardwood floors and your pet will have the whole place to explore.
