TopDog Getaway
Pet care experience
UPDATE: As of 4/25/2023 we are temporarily only accepting reservations from existing clients. My husband and I have owned and trained our own dogs for much of our adult lives. . We have been Rover/DogVacay hosts since August, 2013, and have totally enjoyed the experience. We are extremely pleased to have so many repeat customers, and are very proud of the number of positive reviews we have received. We are very appreciative that our customers take time from their busy l lives to say such kind things about their pups' stays with us! Rufus, our Lhasa Apso mix, loves to run and play and doesn't know how small he actually is, so he plays with even our largest guests, if they are willing! After our beloved 17 1/2 year old black lab crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we added Java, a tiny lab/beagle mix, to our family. She has just 2 modes right now: PLAYING MADLY, and SOUND ASLEEP! George, an adorable 9 year old toy poodle, is also part of our family. He is a 'forever foster' who has been with us for about 6 years. We have also added Maya, a 2 year old toy poodle to our pack! Yes, that makes four! We think dogs are like potato chips, and you can’t have just one. Or two. Or, apparently, three. ;-) I am retired, after a long and wonderful career as a teacher, so I have a fairly flexible schedule for providing playtime, exercise and TLC for your beloved dog, along with ours. We have a very spacious backyard, surrounded by a 5 ft. tall fence, making it a perfect place for chasing tennis balls, playing tug, or playing in the sprinkler on a hot day. We would love to have your dog, large or small, stay with us while you travel. We will treat them as if they are our own, with plenty of play, attention and cuddling, while you are away! I am retired, and home quite a lot. Not 24/7, of course, but I have plenty of time for playing with and caring for pups! I have a fenced yard, and four small dogs to keep your fur-baby company. If your pup uses a crate at home they can use it here, as we have plenty of room.
Reviews
We couldn't ask for better pet sitters. They are so personable with our pup. We are very at ease when we leave him with Ruth and Dave.
Our dog always has a great time with Ruth and friends!
Ruth and David took great care of our pup. He is still a puppy and learning, but they were wonderful with him. We so appreciated the pictures and words of his goings on each day. It was our first time leaving him and thanks to Ruth and Dave , we had no worries. They were wonderful!
There’s never any question that our dogs will have a great time with Ruth and David. Bella has 10 years of visits to draw on and knows there’s a belly rub waiting for her on Ruth’s bed. Bailey is new to the Top Dog family but is learning to settle in with all the attention he gets. Even gone only one night, we received an update and pictures of the pups. There are never any worries when they are with Ruth and David.
