Happy Pets, Happy Parents

We provide loving, low-volume care in a calm home environment, each dog gets personal attention, patience, and a routine that fits their needs. We have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including shy, sensitive, and senior pets. We are good at reading stress signals, keeping feeding and walking routines consistent, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. Our home has plenty of space, about 4,600 sq ft, and a large backyard for supervised play. For extra safety, each boarding dog wears a GPS tracker during their stay. Your pet will not be “one of many.” They will be cared for like family.

Michael was great with both of our older dogs. Immediately responsive and kept in touch throughout the week with lots of photos and videos. Will definitely book again!

Michael and his partner where very attentive to Finn during her time at the house. They really cared about making sure the stay went well. We received many updates over the two days that we were away and could tell when we got back that Finn really enjoyed them. They do more than expected for your pet and I would recommend them to anyone!

Michael and his wife were great with our dog. They had her for about two weeks and made my trip a great one knowing I had nothing to worry about in regard to my pet. I look forward to working with them again!

I know this sounds cliche, but if I could leave a million stars I would!!!! I left the Country for a while, and of course I was nervous about leaving my big guy behind. But I must say, Michael and his wife were TREMENDOUS!!! They treated my pup like family every step of the way. My dog certainly has a ton of energy, and can be extra sometimes. However, he was in great hands. They made sure he was comfortable and checked in often. If I have to leave town again there is no other place I’d rather have my dog go but with this wonderful couple!!! Thanks again for everything!!!

Michael and Harley are amazing! Scout had such a wonderful stay for the week, he didn’t want to leave! They took such great care of him, saw to all of his special needs and updated us constantly. By far the greatest experience we have had on Rover to date. Highly recommended!!!

Michael and his wife did an amazing job taking care of my dog Luna, especially his wife, she welcomed us at her house with her kind personality since our meet and greet, she is very patience and trusted a dog lover. I definitely recommend them.

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine because my partner and I both work from home. At least one of us is usually home during the day, so pets can enjoy regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. We keep our bookings limited to provide a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of attention. This is especially helpful for pets who do best with routine, supervision, and a comfortable home setting.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, comfort, and trust are our top priorities. Each boarding pet wears a GPS tracker for extra peace of mind, and all outdoor time is supervised. Our care style is patient, gentle, and low-stress, which is especially helpful for shy pets, seniors, or dogs who do best with routine. We follow your instructions carefully for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, playtime, and sleep routines.

A typical day

We keep activities fun, safe, and based on each pet’s age, energy level, and personality. For dogs, we enjoy daily walks, supervised backyard play, fetch, tug, sniff breaks, treat games, and plenty of cuddles. We also add simple enrichment like puzzle toys, hide-and-seek treats, and short basic cue practice to keep them mentally engaged. For shy pets or seniors, we keep activities gentle, calm, and low-stress so they can enjoy their stay at their own pace. For cats, we offer interactive play, treat games, and quiet bonding time based on their comfort level.

let us know if your pet has any special needs or history of behavior issues. Most importantly, let us know what they like and what they respond to. We want the pet to be happy and have a good time while he is here.
