Since my wife and I both work from home, your dog will enjoy constant companionship and supervision. We take frequent breaks throughout the day to play, explore the yard, and ensure everyone is having a great time. Our flexible schedule allows us to easily adapt to your pup's specific feeding and potty routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Our home is a doggy paradise! 🐾 With three playful pups—a loyal Australian Shepherd, a regal King Charles Cavalier, and a spirited Shepherd mix—our family provides a loving environment. Having an acre property with dog toys, separate kennels for feeding and nap time, and water toys for hot days ensures that your furry friends have plenty of space and entertainment. We've fostered several dogs in the past few years, have always owned and loved our own dogs and are now committed to creating a resort-like experience for your own pets. They’re sure to have a fantastic summer playing and socializing with our fur babies! ☀️🐶

Information Martin & Crystal B. would like to know about your pet

Our home is an active, social environment with friendly resident dogs. For the safety of all our guests, please let us know about your dog's socialization history and any specific triggers (food, toys, or certain behaviors). We want to ensure a good match so your furry friend can have the best 'vacation' possible!

A typical day

A typical day starts with a patient, supervised introduction to ensure everyone feels safe and confident. Our mornings are filled with active play and fetch in our one-acre yard to burn off energy. During the workday, pups join us in our home office for 'desk-side' cuddles or enjoy some quiet time in their own space. We rotate between outdoor exploration and indoor relaxation, always sticking strictly to your dog’s specific feeding and medication routine.

We’d love to meet your furry friend soon!

Our 11 year old cuddly dog Alaska had a wonderful stay at Martin and Crystal’s while we traveled out of the country. It was easy to see that she was well cared for in our absence and that she enjoyed the company of the hosts and their family dogs. It was cute to see her follow Crystal in the house with a spring in her step, a great sign that she felt comfortable and got some love while we were away. They are a wonderful host family , everything we were hoping for for our beloved senior pup.

Oscar had an amazing time at Crystal & Martin's beautiful home. He played with lots of human and canine friends and came home happy and tired. We loved the videos and pictures they shared during his stay. We highly recommend them and will definitely be back to this loving, dog-savy home.
