Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

Hello, Welcome to Home Away From Home where doggie daycare and overnight boarding is provided for your dog. We are a family of 2 adults, who live with a Mr Bilbo Baggins, a senoir, elderly gentlemen basset hound. We live in a nice home, and have a fully gated grassy backyard. Your pet will enjoy free range of the yard and will be walked at least once a day in the evening. We provide loving companionship for your dog, who will be with us while we watch TV, read, that is, be with us in whatever we are doing! Vinyl sanitized mats of all sizes are available for relaxing and for sleeping, and our own Mr Baggins usually sleeps in our room on his mat. Your pet will be lulled to sleep at night when I practice my harp in the early evenings. All rooms are open, with one room leading into the other. I am thrilled to cuddle your dog, to pet him and give lots of belly rubs and hugs. I have fond memories of my own childhood family which always included one type of dog or another. My own children have also grown up with dogs as well. We feel that a family is not complete without a dog, and we have had dogs...all rescues... for the last 20 years. We welcome your pet as our own to enjoy our home and our hearts while you are away. Sincerely, Esther Marcus PS For the protection of all our dogs, and for all the dogs that live/board here, I can only take dogs that are house broken, who are neutered and up to date with all vaccinations. This includes monthly heartworm and flea/tick treatments. Hope to see you and your four legged sweetheart soon.

Esther and her husband are simply outstanding! True dog lovers and our pooch is always really happy when we pick her up. Can say enough about their care!

Esther has been a wonderful host to our Zoe! She kept us posted frequently with pictures and messages. We felt at peace with leaving Zoe is the loving care of Esther and Ezra!

My second time with Ester, and another great experience! Very caring and great people. I definitely trust Munchkin in their home while I am away.

This is about a month overdue, but Esther and her husband watched our fur baby, Kona, over the Thanksgiving holiday and they were wonderful!! We could tell just from the meet and greet that they had the right kind of home and environment for our pup - calm, relaxed, with a nice outdoor area in the back. We received daily photos and updates and we were impressed that they were able to get Kona eating her meals right away (she usually gets a little too stressed out for the first day or two). Our girl got along perfectly well with their basset hound, the two of them even swapped beds. We will definitely be using Esther again in the future!!
