Pet care experience

Home full time. Long trail walks.

Home full-time and just steps from miles of walking trails, your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We currently have Loki, our friendly 5-year-old Golden Retriever, who loves other dogs, playing outside, and spending time with our two boys. Our boys absolutely love dogs and are gentle, affectionate, and excited to help make visiting dogs feel like part of the family. Boarding with us means your dog will be welcomed into a real home — not treated like just another booking. We only board one dog at a time, which allows us to give your dog plenty of attention, keep the environment calm, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. We do not have a fenced yard, but we have a large, wooded yard (.6 acres) where dogs can safely enjoy time outside on a lead. We also live right by a regional walking/biking trail, so frequent walks and outdoor time are easy and part of our routine. I am comfortable caring for all dogs, including senior dogs, rescue dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I have experience giving medications, crate training, leash walking, basic obedience, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. I am active and outdoorsy, so dogs who enjoy walks, playtime, and being part of family life will fit in well here. For everyone’s safety and comfort, visiting dogs must be potty trained, kid-friendly, and non-aggressive. They do not need to be crate trained. We are not currently accepting puppies. Our goal is simple: to give your dog a safe, loving, active place to stay where they get the kind of care we would want for our own dog.

I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim and John as previous neighbors and getting to know them through our dogs, and I highly recommend them as pet caregivers. Their dog, Loki, is friendly, well socialized, and gets along wonderfully with my dogs, which reflects the care, training, and attention they provide. They are responsible, kind, and clearly love animals. I would feel completely confident trusting them to care for any pet and know they would treat them like family.

We feel so lucky to have found Kim & John. Our 2 dogs feel like it’s their home away from home. I always feel piece of mind when we’re out of town knowing they are being taken care of. I highly recommend

For as long as I have known Kim she and her family have been dog lovers! They have cared for, rescued, and adopted many over the years! Knowing that now they are considering the next step as "sitters" is just the natural progression. She and her family are a most positive addition to Rover and will be such loving and responsible "caregivers"!

Schedule

My husband and I both work from home on alternating schedules, so caring for dogs are part of our normal daily rhythm. We are available throughout the day for potty breaks, attention, feeding, walks, and check-ins. We live right on a regional trail, which makes daily walks easy, and we also spend time outside in our large yard with dogs safely on a lead. Pet care naturally fits into our family routine — walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of love.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog can expect a warm, active family home with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and affection. Because we only board one guest dog at a time, your dog will get personalized care, a calm environment, and lots of time with our friendly Golden Retriever, Loki. We want dogs to feel comfortable, safe, and included while you are away. We have a large yard, but it is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always kept safe on a lead when outside. Our home includes two dog-loving boys and our friendly Golden, so visiting dogs should be kid-friendly, potty trained, and comfortable around another dog. We can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine, but crate training is not required. We are happy to follow your dog’s feeding, medication, walking, and sleep routines as closely as possible to help them feel secure.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day would be getting out almost immediately in the morning for a short walk after breakfast. Watching the birds and squirrels from the deck and sunroom. Go for a stroll on the trail at lunch. Then an after dinner walk - longer for those active dogs. If your dog likes to run with a human, we can do that too!
