Into the Woods...

Your pet will be treated like royalty! We have a fully fenced-in yard. We've watched all kinds of dogs for over 8 years for a single night or as long as three weeks and had many repeat pups we love to see again and again. All in all, your dog is guaranteed to have a nice, fun time at our place while getting outside as well. Fun will be had by all! We have a pup as of March 2026 named Sunny. She is a 10-month-old Goldendoodle who loves to play, run, and is super friendly with other dogs. The black cocker spaniel is our pup Oreo, who passed in 2025. We cannot get the photo to change in rover.

Murray had an active, fun time at Yelena and Patrick's, bonding with their joyful pup Sunny as they raced around the yard. We would definitely book again if we have the need.

Yelena (and family) are great. Responsive, attentive, and friendly. Our dog loves her time there.

Yelena and Patrick looked after our dog Toby for the weekend, were super communicative, and did a wonderful job of asking questions during our meet-and-greet. Toby can be skittish around reactive/larger dogs, and they did a great job of keeping him comfortable :) We look forward to reaching out to them again the next time the need arises!

Yelena and her family were great with Gus! They got him out on walks, sent daily updates, and made our anxious dog feel very comfortable.

Schedule

One of us is always working from home so your pup has constant care to meet their needs each day. Whether walks or feeding, we hope to give them a safe, comfortable, and loving time away from you.

Safety, trust & environment

We have cared for pups of all kinds and sizes, many coming back multiple times. If we feel a dog isn’t a good fit, we won’t take them. This has worked well for us and we have good judgement on the character of dogs after 5 years of doing this.
