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
Julie and Tom are super nice people. They took my two dogs last minute. Sent lots of photos and vids. Will definitely use again!!!
My experience with Tommy & Julie was excellent. We contacted them last minute and they were kind enough to take our Dozer in for several days on very short notice. They're very nice people who know how to take care of multiple animals and were great about keeping in touch and updating us with pictures, and were great about responding very quickly whenever I had a question. They even have live cameras in the backyard for us to watch our dog play. We were happy to see Dozer enjoying his time with the other dogs. This was my first time using the Rover app and to be honest, I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I hadn't met, but Tommy & Julie quickly set my mind at ease. It's very clear they love animals and focus their time and attention on them. I would absolutely leave Dozer with them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet, whether it's just the evening, or for a few days.
Zeni loves being with Tommy and Julie. They’re very sweet and dedicated to my pup and are always available for my short notice visits. They bathed him before I picked him up after being with them for almost a week! Big shout out to them!!!
What an absolute lifesaver and angel! From the emergency that we had, a fast drop off they made our lives a lot less stressful. Cooper was happy, played a lot and was not lite on the love and play time. We are keeping this number in our back pocket for sure!

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.

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.
