Highlights
Pet care experience
The Max Patch Dog Hostel
Welcome! I was inspired to become a Rover host by my own experiences trying to find quality dog care. When your dog comes to stay here, he or she is treated like a member of the family (just like my own dog is!) I’m happy to accommodate any and all schedules, sleeping arrangements, dietary needs, or whatever else it takes to make your dog feel right at home. I live in a charming old farmhouse in the country with a large, shady, securely fenced yard. There are fenced areas adjacent to (but separate from) the dog yard with chickens and sheep providing lots of visual stimulation - I call it "doggie TV". I work from home so there is always someone here with the dogs. Ambassador Chico will welcome newcomers into his pack for playtime. Your dogs are welcome to play outside all day, nap inside, or a little of both. I send daily photo updates via text or email if you like. Your dog(s) will enjoy a vacation here! I absolutely love all dogs, but there are a few guidelines in place to ensure everyone's safety since our Rover guests interact closely with my dog and with other guests. First, large breed intact males will always require a meet-and-greet and may not be a good fit. Also it's important that all dogs be up to date on their vaccinations as well as flea and tick preventative before coming. Titer testing in lieu of vaccination will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please make sure this information is filled out on your profile before sending us your booking request! I am always happy to discuss your unique situation with you beforehand, just get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Oliver enjoyed his second stay with Nancy! He ran right up to her and into her home, which makes us feel very comfortable leaving him when we go on vacation! Highly recommend.
Bodhi loves Nancy!
Thank you Nancy for sitting for Hank! He loves staying at your house and the vest you made him has saved his hips (and my back)!
I'm another five star review and she has more than 100 from her years of experience I bet. Lovely person, lovely place. My sweet pup was smiling when I came to pick her up. Thanks Nancy, see you again.
Amazing as always💛
Thank you for always taking such wonderful care of Lily and for being so flexible!

Schedule
I work from home and have a flexible schedule so our guest dogs are rarely left alone, and never for more than an hour or two. I make it a priority to keep their routines as close to what they have at home as possible
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Keeping your dog safe is the number one priority! There are several securely fenced areas for outside time annd adjacent fenced areas so dogs can be introduced to each other safely. Everyone is supervised at all times. The house is full of dog beds and cozy spots for chilling, plus dogs are allowed on all the furniture. I also have several sizes of crates for dogs that feel more secure sleeping in an enclosed environment.
Pets
A typical day
A day at the Max Patch Dog Hostel might include fetching balls and frisbees, playing with other guests and/or our dogs, watching chickens and ducks through a fence, getting treats, napping in the sun, napping in the shade, napping on the couch, hanging out with me while I work, tummy rubs, ear scratches and nose boops.
