Love is a four-legged word!

Welcome to Your Pup’s Home Away from Home! Hi, I’m Arlene, a devoted dog lover with a special soft spot for the fluffiest pups—I just can’t resist a good cuddle! Our cozy home, shared with my sweet 7-year-old, offers a loving and safe environment where your dog will be treated like family. Before your pup’s stay, we’ll schedule a Meet & Greet to ensure we’re the perfect match. My goal is to make your dog feel right at home, so when you drop them off, please bring their essentials: harness or collar with tags, leash, bed or crate, enough food for the entire stay, and a food bowl. Let’s make your dog’s stay a tail-wagging adventure!

Arlene is amazing!! She has watched my dog a few times now (for the day and some overnight trips). She communicates well, sends pictures regularly, asks questions when needed, and responds in a timely manner. 10/10.

Arlene was great! She sent plenty of updates with photos throughout the weekend. She took him for several walks. She was super attentive to him and my requests. Would definitely hire her again!!

Arlene was excellent in taking care of our fur baby Sophie. It was great that she only took one dog at a time. Sophie enjoyed her stay with Arlene and will definitely use her again in the future.

We have used Rover 2 times for our miniature poodle Nikki. Both stays were more than a week, and she came home happy, well fed, and well adjusted - a much different experience than we had when she stayed in a kennel. I love Rover and recommend it to all my traveling friends who love their dogs. Thanks especially to Arlene for Nikki's most recent stay.

Schedule

I’m self employed and work from home. So my schedule is flexible. I am usually home most of the day, if I go out it’s just a couple of hours at the time, so you’ll dog will get lots of human interaction and love.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
Children 6-12 years old
Dogs not allowed on bed

Safety, trust & environment

We are in a calm and safe family (and dog friendly, of course) community, with sidewalks and green areas to walk. Your dog will get AT LEAST one long walk a day, plus necessary potty releases. We love going to parks and green areas so your pup will get plenty of fresh air and physical activity. I really think that an exercised and released dog is a happy dog. I will send you pics and updates while you are away, so you can relax and enjoy knowing your pup is safe and happy!

I’d love to know about his routine, so he can be comfortable and happy. Also, if he gets along with other dogs and kids, as well as if he’s potty trained.
