Safety, trust & environment

We have a crew of regulars who rotate throughout the week, and all get along beautifully. We never take two new dogs at once, so we can be sure everyone is friendly and can fit in with our furry family. With us, your pet can get any quirky needs met. Whether it’s walks and hikes, or snuggles on the couch, we’ve got it taken care of. So that pick ups and drop offs are smooth, efficient and pleasant, we bring our dogs inside just prior to transitions. With that said, timing and punctuality are important to us that everyone has a great time, all of the time. Our schedules are generally wide open and one of us is always home, so we’d prefer you’d be hours late where we know as soon as you do, versus 15-20 minutes behind schedule without our awareness. This keeps our anticipation & transition windows short so everyone can have as much freedom as our space allows. Our phones are always on and active, so we’re never difficult to reach. Thanks for considering!

Information Patrick & Sara M. would like to know about your pet

We don't have a breed preference, we’ve spent time with most breeds under the sun. Our dog is very adaptable and sweet, and has never shown aggression towards people, or dogs. We’d prefer not to host a dog who has a history of aggression or dominance, but can work with your dog if they need special accommodations.

A typical day

We’re outside for a walk/hike/play in the morning, hanging out in the shade or cool house during the day, and take another walk or play date out back in the evening. Our property is puppy paradise. We have tons of land and trails at our disposal. We have a “return your pup tired” guarantee. Our pup loves the water, and keeps the crew together. We can accommodate for your dogs preferences.

Super pet people

Pet care experience

Our home and land is doggy paradise! We have time, space, plus two friendly pups of our own that'll make your dog's stay great. We’ve been caring for pups for years, we’ll make sure your friend is cared for and comfortable. Our property really feels like a doggy summer camp. We have acres and acres of land that we mosey around most of the day between naps on the porch and mealtimes. Your dog will never be left at home alone, as both of us are able to build our schedules around our animal care. Our dogs are super friendly and easy going with all kinds of dogs. They’ve lived with all sorts of breeds, sizes, and ages over the course of their young lives. They’ll be your buddy's best friend, or give him/her space if that's what they like. We can play, walk, hike, tinker around the property, or just kick back and relax so that your best friend can have a home away from home while you're at peace of mind. We are dog people! Thanks for considering

Murphy enjoys his stays with Patrick & Sara and with their dogs. I am very happy and relieved that I can leave Murphy with a safe and caring family.

Bailey had the time of his life at Patrick and Sara’s! He was able to run around the snowy fields and woods with other doggy friends all weekend long. Patrick was great with sending photo and video updates over the weekend. They were very responsive to messages and questions and made us feel so comfortable trusting our boy in their care! We arranged a meet and greet before the stay to make sure Bailey got along with their pups Banjo and Copper and introduced them slowly. Bailey came home happy and tired and we are so grateful! Thank you!

Patrick and Sara helped me out greatly when I needed an emergency sitter. They were super communicative and beyond helpful, especially when Apollo got car sick right before I dropped him off. He had such a great time. I will absolutely be using them again!
