Pet care experience

home full time/fenced in yard

While growing up with parents who trained Golden Retrievers, I have a love and passion for dogs with over 20 years of experience. I have a fully fenced in yard for the dogs to play and a pool if your baby is a swimmer. If not, they can sit with me poolside and watch the kiddos swim. I love to play fetch and take the dogs on walks up the hill to see the mountains. My furry friends love to see other dogs and people in the subdivision on our way up the hill. I live a convenient 5 mins from 81 near the Hedgesville High School. If you're looking to visit for a day or a week, your fur baby will be in loving care.

Tavin and her family were amazing! I received regular pictures of my dog and he seemed to happy and well-taken care of. My importantly, when we returned and brought him home, he did not have the same traumatic adjustment than we bring him to a kennel. We will definitely be using Tavin again. :)

Tavin was wonderful with my boys. Teddi hasn't accepted Hershey. Tavin did exactly as I has instructed and sent me pictures so I could see how happy the boys were. Highly recommend. Will book with Tavin again forsure

Tavin, is a wonderful communicator and ensured that my kitty was well taken care of during her visit even providing me with photos and a brief of how it went. Thanks again.

Tavin is the best. We had to help my son move over Thanksgiving week and all kennels were full so we tried Rover. We have never left our pup with any strangers and was reluctant to do so. After meeting Tavin, we were convinced she would take great care of Ace and she did. She sent daily updates and photos showing how happy he was and that he was having a great time.

Pets

A typical day

When your fur baby comes to visit, they will have endless fun. They will enjoy walks in my development with sidewalks, run time in the backyard, games of fetch, playtime with the kids, a cool off in the swimming pool, games of hide and seek, and lots more pet-friendly fun! My check in policy is anytime after 3pm. My check out policy is anytime before 12pm. If you need extra time, please schedule for an extra night of boarding or a doggy day care depending on your schedule.

0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Tavin can host up to 2 pets per night
Is your pet spayed or neutered? Is your pet potty trained? Is your pet child friendly? Does your pet have aggression towards other pets or do they get jealous/protective over other people? Does your pet have food or toy aggression? Is your pet afraid of loud noises or thunderstorms? Is your pet a runner? These answers will help me better care for your pet when he/she comes to stay to make it as comfortable as possible.
