**World Cup Travel Notice 06/11 - 07/19: During FIFA World Cup events in Dallas, increased traffic and airport delays are expected. To help ensure a smooth drop-off and pickup experience for your pup, adding extra time to your booking in case of travel or flight delays is highly encouraged. We are limiting night pickups to 8:00pm. Pickups beyond this time will result in an added boarding day fee. Thank you for your understanding and planning ahead! *We are booked for boarding and daycare until June 25th. We still have space for the 4th of July holiday weekend. Due to the increased volume of inquires we have been receiving for summer bookings, it is highly recommended to secure your pup's stay with us a minimum of 1 month in advance. Year-round flexibility and constant presence in a loving home provides peace of mind. Open space and a backyard oasis fit to offer the best in at-home quality care. Your dog's vacation is waiting! Greetings! I'm Kellie—a dedicated dog caregiver, work-from-home educator, mother of a teen Rover protégé and wife! I offer 17 years of experience hosting dogs, and have welcomed many into my home for several years via the first pet caregiver platform, Dog Vacay, now known as Rover. Although I'm generally the face of marketing and caregiving, my husband, Richard, has worked graciously and patiently alongside me in providing a double-dose of love and care to our many guests. Beyond the years of actively caring for dogs, I've advocated for pets through volunteer work at White Rock Dog and have a genuine lifetime experience of raising dogs of all breeds in my family's home. After many years of working with children in person, I have transitioned to a hybrid teaching position, allowing for ultimate flexibility and availability to you and your pup's needs. My husband, Richard, also works from home and our 16-yr-old daughter, Isabella, has built up years of impressive Rover experience alongside us, showing compassion and care to our dog guests. She happily participates in providing attention and satisfying the playful energy of our especially active visitors! Our dear-old Corgi companion, Sugarbear, passed in 2022, and as a way to honor her, we are committed to continue welcoming our new and returning doggie pals, as we have for so many years now. We simply cannot envision a life without dogs around! Take comfort in knowing your companion will be provided tailored care, per your requests, and will receive lots of attention, exercise and love during your time apart from them! They will instantly become part of the family and receive as much attention as desired. Our family is open to following any familiar routines to facilitate the best stay possible. We offer the convenience of a LARGE, fully-fenced, green backyard for dogs who enjoy open space to run and play, a beautiful and scenic park right behind our backyard for exploration, plenty of indoor space for lounging, and a safe and family-oriented neighborhood to venture about for walks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is a top priority for us to keep open communication with you during your pup's time with our family. You will frequently receive summary and photo updates of your sweet babies while you are away, keeping you connected with your loved one. Please note the following updates as of June 1st 2026: ☆ Effective June 1st, 2026, all drop-offs and pickups must occur within the following established operating hours: 7:00am to 8:00pm. Requests outside of designated time windows may not be accommodated or will result in added boarding fees. Thank you for your understanding. ☆ Our family requires an in-person meet-and-greet in our home for all new clients and their pups prior to the agreement of a booking. Please know there are no exceptions to this requirement in the event you have a last minute booking request (e.g. submitting a request the day prior to booking start date). ☆As always, we value and appreciate each of our clients! We look forward to meeting you! ♡ Kellie, Richard & Isabella
