We'll love your pup like our own

Pet care experience

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 100 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.

This was our very first time leaving our dog Scarlet with a sitter other than family and needless to say I was a bit anxious...but after our meet and great day I knew Patrick and Susan were the sitters for her! It was definitely like a home away from home feel. They had a great set-up in their home and yard for Scarlet to feel comfortable. They are very caring and went above and beyond with Scarlet. The day we were supposed to drop Scarlet off, she had developed a sore on her hind leg and Patrick and Susan were so wonderful and reassuring that they would take good care of it. We were taking a trip for a week out of the country and felt so comfortable knowing Scarlet was in great hands! All the photos, texts and updates on Scarlet were even more reassuring! We are so grateful to have found Patrick and Susan for Scarlet and definitely will be using them again! We totally recommend them!!

Patrick and Susan were fantastic!! I was anxious leaving my dog with other people for the first time, but they put my heart at ease almost immediately with photo and text updates! Would absolutely use them again and would recommend to anyone!
