TRUST the BEST With Your PETS❤️

Our Rover journey began during the COVID-19 pandemic when my husband and I fostered dogs for a local rescue. Caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities inspired us to turn our passion into a family-run boarding business. With over 30 years of experience caring for our own dogs, we understand that every pup deserves personalized attention. My husband and I work together to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home where your dog will be treated like one of our own. We offer **crate-free boarding** in our family home because we believe dogs thrive in a comfortable, low-stress environment. We intentionally accept only a limited number of dogs at a time, allowing us to provide plenty of one-on-one attention, supervised play, walks, enrichment, cuddle time, and a consistent routine. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy or a senior who prefers a quieter pace, we'll tailor their stay to their individual needs. Our two friendly dogs enjoy having canine visitors, and our three older children have grown up around animals, creating a warm, welcoming home filled with love and attention. We know how important it is to feel confident while you're away, so we'll keep you connected with regular photo and video updates throughout your dog's stay. Whether you need dog boarding, overnight care, doggy daycare, weekend stays, or extended care, we're committed to providing exceptional, dependable service. We would be honored to welcome your furry family member into our home and care for them as if they were our own.

Melissa was great! Our pup really loved her dogs and in the photos and videos he seemed so happy! We were really worried about leaving him for two weeks as it was the first time being away from him for so long. Would definitely use Melissa as a sitter again!

Melissa and family were great with Max. Melissa sent us daily photos and updates about Max. Max spent a total of 6 days and he seemed to do great with them. I felt comfortable leaving Max there and would not hesitate to have Max stay with Melissa again.
