Pet care experience

Over the past 17 years, I've cared for four dogs of our own, including our cherished senior dog who recently crossed the rainbow bridge at 16 years old. Each of our pets have been treated like a cherished family member in our warm and loving home. We've enjoyed taking our dogs on hikes, car rides, and even swimming during vacations. Our dog Blue loves playing with his dog friends, but is also gentle and considerate with calmer or older dogs who may not be as energetic. Additionally, we have a 16-year-old cat who is well cared for and seamlessly integrated into our pet-friendly routine. To ensure a great fit and smooth transition, we schedule meet and greets for all first-time boarders. Your furry friend will be welcomed with love and care, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your pet will receive plenty of affection, exceptional personalized care, and the companionship of our family, including our two kids, who are excited to play and socialize with them. Rest assured, your furry friend will be cherished, entertained, and cared for as one of our own in our warm and loving home.

Sarah and John were great taking care of my dog, Jamie, while I was on a long day trip. I was nervous at first because I had never used Rover or its service, and I was hesitant to have someone I don't know show up at my place while I wasn't there, especially when there was no way to warn my dog. Sarah was willing to have a video conference and was very thorough with her questions and easily put my mind at ease. Everything went great and both Sarah and John arrived at my place with a rover notification right on time. Jamie reacted better than I even thought and in the picture I received she looked like she was tired from playing and even sad knowing her new friends were leaving. While at my place Sarah and John played with Jamie, gave her treats, let her out twice, and even refreshed her water on a hot day. Overall, this has been a great first experience and I would love to go through Sarah and John again for future day trips and even boarding. I'm thrilled to have found some good people through this service for when my dog needs the extra attention.

We’re so lucky to have found Sarah & John!! They are so kind and patient with our senior 3-legged pup. They send us plenty of updates with pics and videos and she’s always smiling and wagging her tail! Their dog Blue is the best doggy bff! Highly recommend to any family!

Sarah and John were great with my senior pup Penny. Took her on walks, gave her meds and sent pictures. Would highly recommend them!

Safety, trust & environment

We understand how important your pet’s safety and comfort are while you're away. That’s why we take every precaution to create a secure and welcoming environment. We schedule meet and greets for all first-time boarders to ensure a great fit and a smooth transition. Our friendly dog, Blue, provides companionship, but we always prioritize your pet’s individual needs. If your furbaby is nervous or anxious, we take extra care to help them feel at ease. To ensure safety at all times, dogs are fed separately to avoid any food aggression, and we maintain careful supervision to provide a trustworthy and stress-free stay.

Information Sarah & John H. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know everything about your furbaby, including any specific needs and preferences. This includes understanding their daily routines, dietary restrictions, exercise requirements, and how they like to have fun. Knowing these details ensures I can provide the best care and create a comfortable, enjoyable environment for your pet.

A typical day

Your furbaby will receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while staying with us. Pets have full access to our home, ensuring they feel comfortable and at ease. They are welcome to sleep in our bedroom, and we encourage bringing their own bed, as they sleep best in a familiar space. If preferred, we also have a crate available for your pet’s comfort. We’ll keep them entertained with walks to our neighborhood dog park, where they can socialize and play. Depending on their needs and limitations, we will adjust the level of exercise to ensure they're comfortable and safe. They will also enjoy outdoor playtime in our large backyard with our friendly dog, Blue. My two kids are also excited to play with your dog, adding to their fun and socialization. Dogs are always on a leash in the backyard for their safety. It’s all about keeping them happy, comfortable, and entertained with plenty of belly rubs, interactive fun, and a warm, welcoming environment!
