Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and 2 playful pups (Tardis a beagle husky and River Song a chiweeny) to play with yours. If your dog is friendly, don't hesitate to ask about boarding. Especially if your going on a trip. Having you pup alone for days can be stressful.

Information Tommy & Julie F. would like to know about your pet

Is the dog/cat is on medication or special diet? What's their favorite treat and favorite toy and activity. Are they allowed in the back yard? Are they allowed on the beds or furniture? Is rough play allowed?

A typical day

Most dogs get their exercise in the yard. If the dog is required to be walked, the walk around the neighborhood is usually uneventful. Just going around seeing who peed on what. In the yard, playing fetch and tug-a-war are the main events. Rough housing must be preapproved. Giving affection is usually always allowed.

PETS ARE FAMILY

Pet care experience

As a retired couple our dogs are our family. We love pets, we've taken care of our friends pets as they go on vacations for years. After loosing our Buddy and Guy(the 2 lovable pit-bulls in our cover pic) to old age, we brought Tardis and River Song into our family. Our large back yard is fitted with Cameras so you can check in on your loved ones easily through the Tuya app. We'll also do reptiles and birds. We can do birds, cats, and fish on drop-ins only. Everyone else for drop-in, boarding, or daycare. On drop-ins we'll talk to your pet, make sure he/she's fed, clean up any accidents that have occurred. Each dog is outfitted with a ultra-sonic collar that activates the back doggie door, so they're in and out all day playing tuga-war, wrestling or staring at the squirrels in the trees. Your pet will feel loved every day to minimize the trauma of being separated from you.

Tommy and Julie were amazing! This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever leaving our dogs with people we barely even knew. They quickly put our worries at ease and sent constant updates on our pups during our week long vacation. Highly recommend!

These sitters were absolutely fabulous with my dog, Jake. Jake is a crazy boy getting into all sorts of trouble and they didn’t send him back! Jake was able to play with the other dogs there and have a more structured environment than I was providing. I’m going to build on that! if you want a caring environment for your dog, I highly recommend choosing them.

Tommy and Julie are absolutely amazing! Came to them at very last minute with our 3 pups while visiting Chicago for my son’s Navy graduation and they were so kind and welcoming. They constantly gave updates and sent photos and kept us informed of how our girls were doing. We will definitely be recommending them to other Navy families and using them again in the future. Thanks Tommy and Julie! ♥️
