This was the first stay with Cary and Lara. Rosie was very content when I picked her up. It is very evident that they love dogs! Thanks for taking such good care of my baby❤️

Lara and Cary took amazing care of our Griswold for the week we were gone. They truly love pups in their home as if they were their own. I think when we got Griswold home, he was wondering when he was going back. 😄 I would highly recommend Lara and Cary and will rebook with them in the future!

Junie loves Lara and Cary, and so do we! We never worry about Junie while we are away because of the trust we have in them and the way they take great care of her and make her feel right at home.

Our dogs were so happy with Cary and Lara. They seemed sad to leave their new friends when we got home. We got fun pictures to show us their adventures while we were away, and I could tell they just settled right in. It was a fantastic experience!

Safety, trust & environment

There are no other pets in our home. The profile photos are of our “grand dog”. We miss him and our daughter who live out of state.

A typical day

We love to take hikes on trails and walks through our neighborhood. Our neighbors love to interact with our Rover dogs. Short trips to dog-friendly restaurants are a favorite, too.
