Highlights
Pet care experience
Room to run and play!
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, 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 we have several cozy beds around the house. 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 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.

Ratings and reviews
Always a great experience for Vito and us. Thank you Kathy and Rick
We couldn't be happier with Kathy and Rick. Our pup is always so well cared for -- they go above and beyond to make sure she feels safe and right at home. We will always book again. Thank you for your genuine love of animals.
Thank you once again, Kathy and Rick, for watching Japhy! Your flexibility and communication are always so appreciated.

Really appreciated Kathy and Rick’s flexibility on a last minute change! As always, Japhy loved his time with them. It’s always so sweet to see how excited he is to see them when we pull up to their door!

Great daily updates and helped make our dog comfortable

As always, Japhy had a great time with Kathy and Rick! Looking forward to his next stay; their kindness and care for the dogs they watch is so apparent and very appreciated every time we travel.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced yard with lots of grass. If your dog loves to chase a ball or frisbie, this is the place. At night, the dogs sleep in our room but not on our bed.
Pets
A typical day
When weather permits we can take walks on our private road, play ball or frizbie in our big grass yard. 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 hole digging for doggy fun! There is always some shade in the backyard and our basement is nice and cool in the summer, warm and cozy in winter. The dogs can chase chipmunks all day and sleep in our cozy bedroom at night.
