Exceptional Dog Boarding with Our Homeschool Family Discover a unique dog boarding experience tailored to your pet’s needs! As a homeschooling family, our home is full of activity, ensuring your dog receives constant attention and care from our dedicated family members. We offer a personalized, home-like atmosphere on our homestead. Our expansive pasture provides ample space for dogs to run, play, and explore. We thoughtfully care for up to 10 dogs at a time, allowing us to focus on each pet’s individual comfort. Each dog stays in a private kennel space, separate from our family home, with access to an insulated, temperature-controlled indoor area and a dedicated outdoor run for fresh air and exercise. For social dogs, we offer supervised community off-leash time in the pasture, where our family closely monitors interactions and carefully groups dogs by size and temperament for safe, fun play. Check out our stellar reviews from satisfied pet parents to see why our boarding stands out! Book with us for a caring, secure, and engaging stay for your dog.

Rich's family is lovely. Theyve been taking care of our golden retriever, Toffee for over a month now once a week. They're professional, warm and accommodating to our needs. The farm when the dogs get to play is beautiful, and Toffee is always happy when he gets back home to us. THANK YOU!!

We had a great experience boarding our German Shepherd, Ody, for two nights! We really appreciated Rich sending us pictures of Ody happily running in the grass during his stay. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be using this service again!

Schedule

How Dog Boarding Vibes with Our Family Life Our homeschooling family of five kids, ages 6 to 16, weaves dog boarding into our daily life with enthusiasm, as our kids actively participate in caring for your pets. As a bustling homestead, we create a nurturing environment where your dog receives personalized attention alongside our family’s daily activities. To ensure a smooth experience, we emphasize punctuality for all appointments. Please arrive within 15 minutes before or after your scheduled time for meet-and-greets, day sitting drop-offs, or boarding drop-offs, as tardiness may result in us being unavailable or a late fee ($10). Our daily routine includes three supervised off-leash playtimes in our pasture—morning, afternoon, and evening—where dogs are grouped by size and temperament for safe, fun interaction, never left unsupervised. We sanitize stalls daily, removing waste and spraying pee spots, and follow the owner’s feeding schedule, refreshing water during each playtime to keep your dog happy and healthy. Available Times: Meet-and-Greets: Weekdays: 5:00 PM–8:00 PM Saturdays: 10:00 AM–4:00 PM Sundays: 12:00 PM–4:00 PM Day Sitting Drop-Offs: Daily: 7:00 AM–9:00 AM Boarding Drop-Offs: Daily: 6:00 PM–10:00 PM Customers may drop off the night before their booking without being charged for the added time. Pick-Ups: Flexible to the customer’s travel schedule, but once a time is set, customers must keep us informed of any updates to their timeline.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, Trust & Environment At our homestead, we prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness with a carefully designed boarding environment. Each dog enjoys a private kennel with dedicated indoor and outdoor spaces for resting and feeding. The indoor area is insulated and temperature-controlled to ensure a cozy, climate-appropriate setting year-round. We engage with the dogs three times daily during supervised off-leash play sessions in our spacious pasture, where they are grouped by size and temperament for safe, fun interaction. During these sessions, we closely inspect each dog to ensure their well-being. To keep you connected, we send daily photos and updates, giving you peace of mind that your pet is thriving in our care.

A typical day

A Typical Day with Your Pet A day at our homestead is packed with fun and care for your dog! We start with a morning play session in our spacious pasture, where dogs enjoy supervised off-leash time, grouped by size and temperament for safe, joyful romping. After playtime, each dog retreats to their private, temperature-controlled kennel with indoor and outdoor spaces for a restful break and feeding per the owner’s schedule, with fresh water provided. In the afternoon, we head back to the pasture for another round of supervised off-leash play, letting your dog burn energy and socialize under our watchful eyes. We sanitize stalls daily, removing waste and spraying pee spots to keep their space clean. The day wraps up with an evening play session, ensuring your dog gets plenty of exercise and fun. Throughout the day, we inspect each dog during playtimes and send you daily photos and updates to keep you connected to their adventures.

Important to Know About Your Pet Ahead of Time To ensure your dog has a fantastic stay at our homestead, we need the following essential details in advance: Up-to-Date Pet Profile: Ensure your dog’s Rover profile is accurate and current, including vaccinations, age, breed, and any behavioral traits, so we can prepare their private, temperature-controlled kennel and tailor their care. Past Boarding Experiences: Share what has worked well or poorly in previous boarding situations—knowing what your dog loves (e.g., extra playtime) or dislikes (e.g., certain environments) helps us make their stay comfortable and stress-free. Feeding Schedule: Provide a detailed feeding schedule, including portion sizes, times, and any dietary restrictions, so we can maintain their routine during their stay and ensure their needs are met during three daily supervised play sessions in our pasture.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
