Our names are Jeff and Rivka and we love dogs. Since 1999 we have been caring for peoples’ dogs while they’re away. We started out caring for our own dog Callie who passed away in December 2004. When Callie was a puppy he loved having playmates come to the house, so we began taking in our friends’ and our family’s dogs when they went on vacations. Eventually, we opened up our home to the public.

Home Buddies is a place where you can leave your dog while you are gone and expect him/her to become part of a loving and devoted home. We take anywhere from 1-4 dogs at a time so that our care is individualized.

Rivka works at home and spends lots of time with our canine guests. We start our day with a long walk. We have a fenced-in backyard for play sessions during the day, and we go for frequent walks around our neighborhood. Your dog can expect to be showered with a great deal of love and attention and will become a welcome member of our family while you’re away.

Come visit us so we can meet you and your dog. At this meeting, if you like what you see, you will be asked to fill out a detailed questionnaire about your dog which will help us give him/her the best care we possibly can.

We have excellent references who you are welcome to call.
