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.
Reviews


We couldn’t be more thrilled with how Tom and Julie cared for our fur babes. We got videos and updates daily and it was so fun for us to see the pups while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend them and will be back. Thank you so much for loving them while we were away!


Great care for our pups! Appreciated the frequent updates. Would definitely use their services again. Thank you for taking such good care of Rockit and Pepper!


Julie and Tommy were absolutely amazing with our pittie babies. They worked with/around the nervousness of not ever being around anyone but us, treated them like one of their own and made Jessie and Roman feel right at home from day one. We received picture and video updates, often multiple times a day, so we could see that they were safe, happy and relaxed. I would highly recommend and will be using them again in the future! Thank you so much for making our family trip stress and anxiety free. 🙌🏼😘

Tommy and Julie were fantastic this past week. They came over in advance to meet our cats and see what their routine was like. They asked lots of questions to make sure the booking was a good fit for us and them. They were very friendly and responsive while we were gone, they arrived on time every day, brought in packages and mail for us when they were here. They took time and care to feed the cats, clean their dishes and played with them every day. We received daily pictures and video from them as well. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them again as well!

Skills
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.
Home
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.

Availability
Being retired, Rover is our only job. And it's a full time one. We start early and end late. On slow days My dogs get extra long walks.
