Pet care experience

We'll love your pup like our own

We specialize in undivided attention, one dog at a time. We have more than 15 years of dog-owning experience (had Springer Spaniels, but have no pets now), so we would be more than thrilled to care for your dog as if they're our own. We’re available for walks, drop-ins and boarding. We live on a 6-acre wooded lot so your pup will have plenty of room for fun here. We love the outdoors, walks and hikes, so your pooch will get a workout. Check out our more than 150 5-star ratings from other owners. We’re excited to bring our love of dogs to Rover. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Patrick and Susan are amazing… We trust them completely and our dog gets so excited when they are coming to see her! He feels so lucky to be able to have someone that we trust so when we are gone, we do not have to worry about our sweet dog at all! I recommend them 5+ plus plus stars!!!

Patrick and Susan are top-notch. They both seem genuinely kind and caring. My very active border collie got plenty of exercise and stimulation while in their care, and I received daily updates with photographs. You can't ask for more than that. I will, without hesitation, use their services again, the next time that I travel.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are leashed at all times when outside of our fenced-in backyard. We have a large crate if needed & have areas of the house gated for safety and protection.

A typical day

Our boarder pups get a good walk or run in our fenced-in area as soon as they wake up. They’re fed according to the owners’ requirements & get a long walk of at least a mile or more in the afternoon with lots of playtime in between.
