Information Zachary M. would like to know about your pet

To ensure we facilitate a healthy environment we would like to know and confirm that your dog has all appropriate vaccines (shots). This protects your pups health and affords some peace of mind knowing that a high standard of care is being provided. *Rabies, distemper, and bordatella are highly recommended. If there are medical restrictions or alternative treatments to a vaccination listed above please let us know. If a dog doesn’t have a rabies vaccine this is a deal breaker. Please share with us any food restrictions, dietary needs, or special care requests to include medications and supplements. *Please share any aggressive history (minor or major)* Sometimes dogs have “do’s and don’ts” for example don’t like to be approached while eating or they aren’t good sharing dog toys. This info is needed to foster a low stress environment for all pups in our care. PLEASE NOTE: We DO NOT accept booking requests for an animal that shows signs of aggression or has a history of biting people or dogs. It’s our goal to make your pup feel safe with us and excited to come back for another visit. We honor his/her routine while keeping them happy until reunited with their person YOU!

A typical day

We enjoy playing with the dogs both young and old in. We also enjoy taking Bob and Boo for walks around the neighborhood and with your approval we are happy to walk your dog as well. Doggy anxiety relief is our goal and doggy safety our commitment. We can’t wait to meet your furry family and welcome them into ours!

Pet care experience

A former military policeman, now an Army Veteran after 17 years of honorable service, I have a personal and professional love for dogs! The safety, care, and compassion for all dogs is priority one. A lifetime of experiences from personal ownership to professional relationships are responsible for the respect and appreciation of animals in my life. The environment we have established is reflected most of all in our two amazing rescues Bob and Boo! Bob is and will always be our first dog together. We adopted him while stationed in California shortly after getting married. Bob is neutered with all shots up to date and well socialized. He is a small-medium size terrier mix that is well trained and a sweet pup. He is a great companion with a natural good spirit that we cannot take credit for. In December of last year (2021) we struck gold a second time adopting our second pup, an outgoing dog named Boo! He has never met a stranger and like Bob is really well socialized. He is a happy go lucky guy that loves food, people, and other dogs. Bob didn’t know what to make out of Boo at first but now they are best buds 🐶 ♥️ 🐶 It is and will always be top priority to keep the wishes and instructions for the care of our customers canine companions (dogs) adhered to. We endeavor to give your furry family members back to you in as good or if possible even better condition than when they arrived 👍 Please Note: For all drop-ins, dog walks, pick-ups & drop-offs there is a $0.40 cents per mile fuel charge calculated using Apple Maps to determine distance. The normal drop-off/pick-up times: 8:00am - 10:00pm 7 days a week unless otherwise indicated on our Rover calendar. For special circumstances with an additional fee we can accommodate drop-off and pick-up times outside our normal hours. **During drop-off and pick-up please maintain positive control of your dog ensuring they are “on leash” and safely handed off while coming or going. ***Please respect the posted speed limit inside our neighborhood (15mph) and refrain from turning around in a neighbors driveway. The street is a circle and will take you back to the entrance either way you go. 🙏Thank you in advance for your consideration 🙏 Thanks for reading! First time booking with Rover please ask about our $20 off promo code🐾🐶🐾🐶

Zachary and Fernanda took such great care of our sweet Lilly while we were away for two weeks. We were so grateful for the regular pictures and updates of our precious Golden. I highly recommend them. Thank you so much Zachary and Fernanda!

Dixie is always so happy and relaxed after her doggie day care with Zach and Fernanda, and her first sleepover was no different. Thanks to both of them for taking such good care of our darlin’.
