Pet care experience

Rick and I live on a quiet private road. There is a large fenced yard with lots of grass and shade trees. There is also a covered outdoor area and a large daylight basement, accessible by doggy door, which is warm and dry in the winter and nice and cool all summer. Your pet will be welcome in the house with us and our dog, who will be happy to show your pal around. It is a great place for running and chasing chipmunks, or just sleeping in the grass. Rick and I have a relaxed atmosphere and really enjoy getting to know different dogs. We are loving dog owners who have struggled with leaving our own dog in a kennel. We used Rover and found a loving, casual home for him to stay in while we were traveling. Now, we have made room in our home for your dog. We especially like larger dogs. We usually host only one doggy guest at a time but will make some exceptions.

Our Labrador Retriever just finished her second boarding with Kathy and Rick. We are super happy with the care she receives from these pet lovers. They are flexible, communicative and generous with their time. The large, fenced yard is perfect too. We will definitely book our next boarding with them.

Information Kathy & Rick F. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet have anything that scares or upsets them? Has your dog used a doggy door before? Will your dog chase a ball or frisbee? Any special needs or medication?

A typical day

When weather permits we can take walks on our private road, play ball or frizbie. And when it is hot outside, we set up a little pool for cooling off. This is a rather rustic yard so we don't mind a little digging for doggy fun! The dogs can chase chipmunks all day and sleep in our cozy bedroom at night.
