Boarding • Jan 19, 2026

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my three dogs—two lively pugs and a sweet blind cocker spaniel—to Linda and Tom while I was on vacation, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the first meeting, Linda and Tom were friendly and approachable. They took the time to ask about each dog’s habits, preferences, and any special care needs, which immediately put me at ease. Linda and Tom demonstrated remarkable awareness and sensitivity to my blind dog’s needs. Throughout my vacation, I received frequent updates via text messages and photos. It was heartwarming to see my dogs looking happy and relaxed, playing together, and getting the attention they deserve. Finding someone you can trust completely with your pets is challenging, but Linda and Tom exceeded my expectations. Their care provided me with peace of mind while I was away. I would not hesitate to book them again for future trips. Their dedication to providing a loving, safe environment for my dogs truly makes them stand out. In summary, Linda and Tom are a perfect choice for anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog-sitting service. They not only met my expectations but went above and beyond in caring for my furry family members. Whether you have special needs pets or just want a loving environment for your dogs, they are the ones to trust! 🐶💖

Linda and Tom were great as always. They take great care of our 4 cats. Tom and Linda are very reliable and we don't have to worry about our pets being taken care of when we're gone. I don't know what I would if Tom and Linda weren't avaialble.

Schedule

We offer in-home boarding exclusively for small dogs in a calm, loving environment. We are home full-time, so dogs are never treated like kennel guests. With 35+ years of rescue experience, we confidently care for seniors, special-needs dogs, and pets requiring medications or special diets. Dogs enjoy free roam, couch cuddles, and sleeping in bed if that’s their routine. We follow your dog’s schedule closely and treat every guest like family.

Pets

A typical day

While they stay with us, they will be treated as they would at your home. We do not crate dogs unless asked to. They will hang on the patio with us, on the furniture and even sleep with us if that is where they sleep at your home. We want your dog to know he is loved, wanted and cared for.

0 to 15 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Linda and Tom can host up to 4 pets per night
We limit in home boarding to dogs 30 pounds or less. Your pet must be current on bordetella and vaccines. We will accept un-spayed females but not un-neutered males.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
