Thank you Thomas for taking Bella pretty last minute. Bella gets anxious being alone, so we appreciated you taking her for some of our vacation. Thomas sent pictures and answered any questions right away. Good communication. Thank you again for caring for our pup.

Bentley and Boomer seemed very content when they got home. Bentley seemed to bond with Thomas and they were very well taken care of. I will use Thomas again in the future 100%.

Thomas was very professional and was there at the appointed time to meet Louie and myself. Louie spent two nights with Thomas and did very well. I would use Thomas again and recommend his boarding service.

🐕‍🦺🐕🦮🐩With every dog being unique, I listen and gain knowledge regarding your dog’s needs. My home is equipped with a backyard fence to ensure your pet’s safety while also providing a fun/comfortable home away from home with their new friends. ———————————————————— 🛑IMPORTANT INFORMATION🛑 ———————————————————— 👋MEET & GREETS: They are done out front or in my fenced in backyard where you can meet my dogs if you’d like. ———————————————————— 🕰📞COMMUNICATION: ‼️DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND‼️. Being an in demand sitter, to make things easier for everyone throughout your pet’s stay communication is key. I like to have a quick conversation at pick-up to discuss your dog’s stay. I plan everyday, so whatever times you put for your drop-offs & pick-ups is what my day is based around. If you’re going to be late please inform me ASAP. Out of respect for everyone’s time I find this highly important. I’m very flexible and I don’t care about change of plans, etc. But communication is my biggest asset. ———————————————————— 🧼SANITATION: I start my day by vacuuming/mopping the areas in which the dogs primarily stay, & wipe down all surfaces. Having a dog myself that sheds intensely this is a must. ————————————————————- 🗝KEY INFORMATION: Lastly, if there’s something important I should know about your dog’s just tell me. As I tell everyone dog’s are routine based beings and they will never act the same way here as they do at home. Boarding is a break in every dog’s routine. So any quirks they may have at home alone, can either negatively or positively impact their behavior here. Please inform me then I’m able to pick up on it quickly to better assist them while staying. ———————————————————— DISCLAIMER: I am currently not taking these breeds. *German Shepherds *American Bulldogs *PitBulls

⏱🩺100% of my time is devoted to your furry friend as Rover boarding/daycare is my only job. Whatever your pet needs whether that be scheduled medications(oral/injection), scheduled eating or that extra care needed after surgery, you can have ease of mind knowing your pet is well taken care of 24/7. 🎾 Your pet will also have the greatest time and meet lots of new friends. The dogs go out every 2 hours where they can run and play their hearts out. The fun never ends. Just know while being safe your dog will have the greatest time.
