We are a husband and wife duo dedicating maximum effort to taking care of your pet! We have plenty of time to exercise your pup or just hang out and be couch potatoes. Drop-Offs & Pick-Ups for boarding can only be scheduled for 4pm or later 🥰 We love our clients and pride ourselves on giving top notch care 🤩 In order for us to be successful, we ask that you abide by the time you choose when requesting services- we plan our whole day around these events! Late Pick-Ups will be subject to an undetermined additional charge by *our* AND *Rover’s* discretion. Drop-Offs late by 30 minutes will be subject to cancellation by *our* discretion alone. We thank you for understanding and can’t wait to meet you 🫶🏼
