Pet care experience

Pet paradise with empty nester

Your furry family will be in very experienced and caring hands at our home which includes a five foot high fence on a half acre lot. We have been volunteer foster parents for Lab Rescue for several years so have lots of experience caring for various dogs and dog ages. We often care for our friends’ pets so could provide additional references upon request. Our kids are both at college so we are joining Rover to help pay for their college expenses. Look forward to meeting your pups!

Our 10 month old Doberman puppy boarded with Linda and Zach for 5 days and had such a great time! They were super responsive, sent us tons of updates with pictures and videos, and helped Joey through a little eye infection. We can’t thank them enough for their diligent care of our baby and will definitely have Joey stay with them again for future trips.

Dino had the best time at Zachary and Linda's house. He was all smiles when we picked him up and I could tell he was comfortable and had so much fun. Zachary was very friendly and communicative. He sent adorable photos of Dino with his dogs hanging out.
