“Elaine is great. I had to change my appointment a few times due to work and she was very understanding and flexible. She was able to set up a playdate and we came over and met her, her family and pets. Very communicative throughout the day. I have an elderly pup with bladder cancer and Elaine really cared for her and asked questions throughout the day. I highly recommend and will be using her again.”
“Dawn always does so amazing with our energetic and spicy dog. She gives great updates through the day with pictures and video. Our dogs always has such a good time and loves playing with the other dogs she watches. I never have any worry dropping off our dog in her care.”
“Laura and Nicholas are so wonderful. They are patient and sweet with my girl Gigi. Very communicative, reliable and have been such a help on my long work days. Gigi is so excited to get to their home and for a sassy fierce pup like mine that is such a relief. They play ball with her, she gets to relax in their backyard and even takes her on hikes. They both have a warm energy and working with them has been a breeze. Definitely would and have recommended them!”
“Storm takes a bit of time to get comfortable in new environments with new people, but she seemed to settle in easily with Gil and Peaches! We are so thankful they are patient with her separation anxiety and welcome her on daycare days!”
“We had such a great first experience with Rover thanks to Shadie! She was extremely helpful and eased my mind with sending pictures and updates. My pup Kingsley had such a fun time, he was exhausted when he got home for the day. We will definitely book with Shadie again!”
“Matt and Jamie were amazing! Waffles came home and immediately went to bed! He had a great time with the puppies and fit right in! Matt was very accommodating and quick to respond! We loved getting pictures and videos throughout the day especially since this was our first time using Rover. Great experience and will certainly book again with Matt!”
About: Hello! I'm Fran, a passionate dog lover and guardian with decades of experience in in-home doggie daycare. I care for your beloved dog while you're on holiday, providing them with a holiday of their own. I believe we don't 'own' our pets; we're their guardians, ensuring they're loved, safe, happy, and healthy. I've hosted dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Each dog has a unique story and personality, and I love getting to know them and watching them bloom as they explore their surroundings. I understand schedules vary and sometimes life presents surprises where we need to find someone to care for our beloved pup at the last minute. I work remotely with a flexible schedule. Let me help you when you need it most. Every day, I plan activities to engage their brains and exercise their bodies, often involving adventures through the neighborhood, trips to the fenced dog park, and visits to the river on hot days. At the end of the day, we enjoy healthy treats that I prepare myself, which also engage their brains and senses. I live in Vancouver, Washington, with my 8-year-old black lab mix, Murphy, who loves humans and other dogs and is non-aggressive. My home is well-maintained with a large deck where dogs can play and relax.I work from home which means your 'kids' are never left alone for long periods.
