It's all about the dog.
Pet care experience
Please message us to schedule a meet and greet so we can get to know your pet/pets and see if they will be a good fit. **please take note that we have quiet hours between 8pm and 6am, and we will respond after we are up and starting our day.** The meet and greets are done in our backyard and includes our pugs. We typically accept small and medium dogs up to around 30 lbs. We will accept older large breeds that are low energy. We have 45 years experience in long term animal and dog care. Rima grew up on a farm, took several years of agriculture in high school, was a member of the FFA for 4 years and her family raised and bred German Shepherds so she learned some great animal management skills. We are currently a volunteer foster family for pugs that come through Pacific Pug Rescue, so our dogs are used to having guests in our home all the time. We have fostered special needs dogs that range in age from 1 to 14 years old, including dogs with medical, allergies, behavioral issues, and physical disabilities. All our dogs are on a daily routine so they know when their potty time is and their feeding schedule. We have a large fenced back yard with plenty of room to run. Our goal is to allow people to go on vacation knowing their dogs are in good hands. All dogs are treated equally as if they were our own. Know that your fur babies are in great hands.
Reviews
I always feel very comfortable boarding my pup with Kelly and Rima. They absolutely know what they’re doing with dogs and their specific quirks. Plus the pictures they send are quality!
Kelly and Rima took Simba over on a very short notice while we were traveling. They took fantastic care of Simba and he returned very very happy. It was very evident that he had a blast. They were very quick to respond and sent pictures and videos of him throughout the day. Thank you so much!!
Great! Has a great fenced in backyard for dogs. Very responsive. Picasso seemed very happy there!
Things seem to have gone well for Bella. Would liked to have had more pictures and comments about my dog’s days while I was gone.

Safety, trust & environment
We have a large fully fenced yard, with a smaller fenced dog playground, with several play structures, a sand box and a small pool that we are working on for those hot summer days. As stated earlier, a crate trained dog is preferred, but not required. Crating is for their safety while we sleep or are not home.

Information Kelly & Rima V. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dogs temperament and if there are any medical or allergy issues. Also where do they sleep at night, as we don't want to create any bad bedtime habits. If you don't let your dog sleep in your bed, we won't either. Is your dog crate trained? It is preferred, but not required.
A typical day
A typical day is spent hanging out with us whether its inside or out, dogs are not allowed outside with out us. We have all sorts of toys, for indoor or out door play. Rima is also a dog photographer, so your babies may end up in a little photo shoot.

Availability
We both work full time, but our schedules overlap, so a typical week day your pup would only be alone about 5 hours. A crate trained dog is preferred for you pets safety when we cannot supervise, but not necessarily required. For drop off and pick ups, its best to schedule between 3:30 pm and 730 pm, so if you need an early drop off please schedule it the evening before. Weekend drop offs can be anytime. Our best contact hours are between 6am and 8pm, as our quiet hours/do not disturb hours are set from 9pm to 6 am. Any over night messages will be received in the morning.
