Availability

My wife and I are both retired young, so we could spend more time with our golden retrievers. Since our retirement, our lives have primarily revolved around our dogs. If your dogs have a good off-leash recall, they are welcome to join the same daily routine as our dogs. Every day, on average, we walk with them 1-2 miles in the morning and another 1-2 miles in the afternoon. In addition, they play, run, and do agility exercises between the walks. All our dogs sleep in their own crates for the night and rest in their crates when no one is at home. If your dog sleeps in your bed at night and roams freely unsupervised in the house when no one is home, we might not be a good fit for you.

Information Tom C. would like to know about your pet

I take all friendly dogs. Your dog must be crate-trained and potty-trained if your dog is 6 months of age and older. If you do not believe in crate training your dog, we might not be a good fit for you. Our daily routine involves lots of mental stimulation and physical exercises; therefore, all dogs on site need to rest safely in their crate, where they are not being disturbed by other dogs. If you think we might be a good fit for your pet, please feel free to contact us for a meet & greet!

A typical day

We will spend time bonding with your dog by petting them, praising them, and reinforcing basic obedience training throughout the day. If your dog has a good off-leash recall, your dog is welcome to join our dogs for daily exploration walks on the track. During the walk, they will get lots of mental stimulation by sniffing around all the new scents on the farm. There are goats, horses, pigs, and cats that they could smell and see during our walks. If your dog does not have a good off-leash recall, we also have a large, fenced yard for your dogs to roam, run, and play. Whether going on the track or staying in the yard, your dogs will have plenty of exercise during their stay with us.

Another great visit for our two dogs with Tom. Last minute our plans had changed and even with the short notice and late night request, Tom was there to take our dogs. Thank you!

Tom was quick to respond. It was our first time using Rover and we have an energetic dog. Tom met us for a meet and greet after a big snow storm. Even though the roads were a challenge, he met us so I could feel comfortable about leaving our puppy for the weekend. He provided picture and video updates throughout. I'll be recommending him to friends.
