We want to spoil your pup

My family has been fostering dogs through a local rescue organization for a few years. We have had about 30 foster dogs in our care throughout that time. Due to our frequent travel schedule, we have been unable to commit to adopting a dog of our own right now, so we love to squeeze in time with dogs when we are home. My kids love meeting and caring for new dogs! I work from home during the week, so am able to attend to the dogs in our care during the day. Another bonus is that we don’t have a resident dog, so your dog or dogs in our care will get our full attention. We have a fenced in backyard with a 6ft privacy fence. Lots of space to play fetch!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 13, 2026

Tara and her family gave my dog the best care. Poppy was welcomed and I felt good about leaving her in Tara’s care. We are so grateful!

Tara provided an excellent home away from home for my dog! She kept me updated and was prompt in her communications with me. Would recommend!!

Georgie and Newman enjoyed their time with Tara & family. They wanted to meet the dogs prior to their stay, so they would feel more comfortable at drop off. They were great with updates and pictures of the dogs letting us know they were doing well. We will definitely be reaching out again for future stays!!

Very nice, loving family - your pets will be happy and well taken care of. We felt very safe leaving our 14 year old bospin Bailey with Tara’s family, and received numerous updates with photos and videos while we were traveling. We’ll book again!

Schedule

I work from home during the day, so dogs in our care would rarely be left home during the day and usually only short stints in the evening or weekends. We love to take walks with dogs in our care and play in the backyard.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a 6ft privacy fence in the backyard and multiple crate sizes and gates if needed. We do not have any resident pets and would discuss with the pet owners before taking on more than one pet at a time.

A typical day

We love to take dogs on hikes or walks in the neighborhood. We have plenty of toys to keep dogs busy and my kids love to play fetch with dogs in the back yard.
