Dog loving family in fenced in yard

I have had a dog in my family since I was 10 years old. I cared for my most recent dog for 7 years before he passed away from cancer. I have watched the dogs of my friends and family on many occasions. We currently don’t have a dog in the house and are excited to care for your dogs as if they were our own!

Boarding • Sep 14, 2026

We had such a great experience! He took wonderful care of our dogs and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in his care. He followed all of our instructions, including their feeding schedules, medications, and our special restrictions for Daizy while she is still recovering from surgery. We really appreciated the updates and knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s not always easy leaving your dogs with someone else, especially when one requires a little extra attention, but he made the whole experience stress-free. We would absolutely trust him with our dogs again and highly recommend him!

Such a great experience boarding our 4 year old Cavi with Mark and his family. Thank you so much for taking care of Guru at extremely short notice! Very friendly and kind. Great home with lots of space for a comfortable stay. Generous updates and pics throughout the day! Thanks again - will definitely keep you in mind for Guru's future boardings.

Mark helped us with Diamond on short notice. He was extremely professional and even offered a meet and great which made us feel more safe leaving her with him. He provided pictures and made sure Diamond had fun, relaxing and safe environment to explore. Very responsive as well!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 06, 2024

We needed a few days of dog sitting at his home while we tackled some home renovations and the dogs were lucky to have a great fenced in backyard to run around in and enjoy, as well as a kind host and family. Mark is an excellent communicator, responded quickly, and shared photos of our girls to show us how they were doing. Highly recommend!

Mark was quick to reply to my need to board my dog Tyr. We met about a week ahead of time, and it was an easy choice. He has a nice fenced in back yard, and a separate basement area. He is in a good situation to spend time with the dogs inside and out. I got pictures of a smiling dog while I was away. And saw he got a lot of play and exercise while I was away. Totally plan to ask Mark again and would recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dogs to explore and run around. Inside, the dogs will be crated only if I need to run out and overnight.

A typical day

Your dog will be physically and mentally stimulated here on our property. The large fenced in yard gives them plenty of places to sniff and explore! I work from home and will have your dogs outside and with me all day. They are sure to wear themselves out in the yard! My wife and two daughters are home and will love on your dogs as well.
