⭐️ The dogs home. We just live here

Pet care experience

Booking with me is more than just booking with a Rover sitter. I’m one of the only individuals that is state licensed boarders around and Rover is one of only a hand full of sites that I book on. My life and my home has been made around our doggy guest. Because of that, I would consider us as more of a doggy B&B. I've spent my entire life around dogs. I've always felt i have a supernatural connection with dogs that is difficult to explain. I couldn't count the number of times I have heard that I was a "dog whisperer" or "I've never seen my dog so comfortable around someone before". I always enjoy hearing those words and I'm in love with the fact that I'm now able to devote my entire life to dogs. Nothing beats being at home with you, but when your pup stays with us it will be the closest to home they can experience. We are here all day long. Your pup will enjoy lounging on the couch with us. Sleeping in the bed with us. Homemade treats that your pup will get to occasionally enjoy. We always make this a memorable experience for both your pup and you! We even give out special parting gifts to many of our special guests! I have a fully fenced in yard. I have also accomidated for dogs that don't enjoy the company of other dogs by creating a couple sections in my yard. No matter your dogs personality or preferences, they will love their stay here. Booking with Me will be the best experience you and your dog will have on Rover. My only warning: Your dog may not want to go home. This truly is a dogs' home, we just live here! We are available 24/7! Any schedule you follow at home we will follow here at the Dogfather Inn. When you book with us your not just getting one rover sitter, but a trio of dedicated animal lovers that provide your pup with the most at home experience possible. The pets that stay with us are cared for like they would be at your own home. We also, have a part time employee to help ensure your pups always under a loving sitters care!

Fantastic guy. Patient and gentle. Great communication n pics. I think it’s also really important to mention that he’s the only licensed and inspected boarder on here I’ve ever met. He even left me framed pic of my dog! Followed instructions completely! We will only use him. No need to look further.

Ryan and his family were amazing!!! My sister referred him and I’m glad she did, I felt so much better with leaving my baby Zeus with him after meeting him and all the great things my sister said about him watching her baby Ava! Zeus will definitely be back, they are his 2nd family now!

I have a fully fenced in yard with a privacy fence. I have a set up for anything your dog may need. If your dog loves to play with other dogs, I have a large amount of regular clients.
