Information Steve & Susan K. would like to know about your pet

Each dog has his/her own special personality. Our aim is to adjust to your dogs level of comfort but if your pup has any special needs or wants - just let us know.

A typical day

We have a number of walking 'loops' in the neighborhood - from a mile to 3.5. We never walk in the middle of a hot, summer afternoon preferring to walk in the morning and/or before or after dinner.

Steve & Susan K.'s Local Area

Just 1 dog at a time. Fab backyard!

Pet care experience

When my wife Susan and I lost our beloved, 14 year old, black lab Indie we decided against getting a new pup. But we love dogs so........ Rover! We're easing into retirement and have the time, along with a dog friendly home and a backyard paradise to allow us to care for your furry family member. Just one dog (or siblings would be OK) at a time - so no need to worry about conflicts with other dogs. Your pup would have the yard (and maybe a spot on our couch!) all to themselves.

Our dog loves the sunny backyard. We will always go to Steve and Susan first for boarding our dog. We trust them for high-quality care.

Steve and Susan were absolutely wonderful!! They sent photos and played with my dog daily. Their backyard is amazing, and I know that my dog felt like he was on his own little vacation back there! Great with communication and overall fantastic caregivers!

Steve and Susan are very kind and warm people. They were very understanding and flexible with pickup and drop off times which was so so helpful. They also updated us throughout the booking with photos and updates on how our dog Scarlet was doing. Thanks again!!
