Highlights
Pet care experience
Laps and walks and TLC
Both of us work from home, we have a lovely deck with some green space. And we live on open space and have dog walking sidewalks and paths all around us. We finished caring for a family dog for 15 years. We enjoy loving and caring for dogs on a temporary basis, as it fills our home with the incomparable energy of a canine. I have a lot of love and attention to give. Your dog is sure to have a comfortable, active stay with us. We do not have any other animals in our house, so your dog will be our priority. Meet and greets work really well for us. It’s good for us and for you and your dog. We love puppies like everybody does, but we are not puppies and so we prefer dogs that are at least three years old. Thank you for considering us.

Ratings and reviews
There could not have been a better place for us to leave our dog for a week. Mary Jo and Jim and the best!

Mary Jo took great care of Leo, and I really appreciated all the photo updates. Highly recommend, and would definitely use her again! I felt very reassured that he was in great hands.

I could tell they gave Birdie the best care while I was away. Thank you so much for everything!

My dog loves his stays with Mary Jo. She sends plenty of updates and pictures of Fitz during his stays. They really enjoy having him stay with them. I would without hesitation recommend them for your pets next stay away from home.

I’m so grateful that I found you to care for Beau! My vacation was even more special knowing that Beau was having an awesome doggie vacation of his own at your home! It meant a lot to receive your texts with photos and updates of his stay. We are both looking forward to future getaways and will be scheduling dates with you! I will be very happy to refer others to you too! Thanks so much!

Fitz really enjoyed his stay. They sent updates and pictures during his vacation. I would highly recommend for you boarding needs.

Schedule
We both work at home and it is easy for us to place a priority on a dog that is in our care. We are mindful of leaving the dog for any period of time and we make sure we check in with you on that. We’re happy to give your dog car rides if they like that. Whatever spells fun for your dog, we’re happy to provide.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When we have our meet and greet, I will be interested in a day in the life of your dog so that we can mimic as much of that as we can, so they are comfortable. We are happy to abide by any rules that you have including timing and treats and meds and training. We really are here to give your dog the best experience they could have.
A typical day
We have access to a nice walk, just stepping outside our front door. We spend time sitting outside on our deck, and can give dogs some companionship if they love to sit in the sun. Whatever they are used to we will do our best to imitate.
