Information Thurman Elaine & Steven B. would like to know about your pet

If your pup has favorite activities, special needs, or unique habits, just let us know—we’ll do our best to accommodate them. Because we have a few free-roaming chickens in the afternoon, we do ask if your dog is comfortable around them. If not, no worries! We’ll keep the chickens safely in their pen. We also like to know if your pup is friendly with other dogs and people so we can ensure a safe and happy stay for everyone. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend and welcome them into our home! ?❤️

A typical day

Your pup will be part of our daily routine, whether it’s lounging indoors with us or enjoying supervised playtime in one of our two fenced in areas where they can be off leash. We make sure all dogs get outside at least three times a day for exercise and fresh air.

A Doggie Retreat in the Country!

Pet care experience

LICENSED AND INSURED for your peace of mind! We’re lifelong animal lovers with plenty of experience caring for dogs of all ages. Our home is shared with Lucy, our mellow yellow Lab and Mary Ann the energetic Beagle. We also have a rooster, and a few hens—so your pup will have plenty of company! Over the years, we’ve raised several litters of Labrador and Beagle puppies, giving us firsthand experience with both playful pups and sweet senior dogs. As retirees, we have plenty of time to dedicate to your dog, making sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. We have a fenced in area off of the back porch where the dogs can come and go as they like and a 200 x 100 ft fenced in playground where they can run and romp to their hearts’ content. There’s also a screened-in porch for relaxing naps, plus cozy spots inside where our dogs love to lounge by our side. 🐾 Country dogs will feel right at home, and city pups will love the fresh air, soft grass, and open space! Whether we’re playing in the yard, taking a break on the porch, or just hanging out while I cook or work on the computer, your dog will be part of the family. We can’t wait to welcome your furry friend! 🐕❤️
