Pet care experience

Safe walking paths, backyard

We are a family of four and we all love dogs. We love all dogs, but small and medium size are my specialty. We currently own a senior poodle/bichon mix named Preston and we just adore him. We love how dogs show unconditional love, are your best friend, and never leave your side. My husband and I share pet sitting duties. We have two daughters, ages 11 and 15 years old and they also love to help with caring for the dogs and giving them attention. Since Santiago and I are mostly home during the day and night your pup will get lots of attention. My home has a fenced/gated pool yard, with patio shade where your dog can play and go potty. We have dog toys and extra dog beds where your family member can play or relax. We also have a very quiet and safe walking path behind our house here in Silverado Hills neighborhood.

This was our first experience using Rover. Carina and Santiago help us and our dog feel very comfortable with the experience. We sent updates while we were away and we knew Marty was well taken care of!

They did an amazing job! They’re such a sweet family. Trevor has glaucoma and has a very specific medication application that needs to be done twice a day which made me nervous about not taking him with me to my vacation. However, when I got back his eyes looked so much better than before! So, I knew they took care of him well. They updated me daily with pictures and he looked so happy during his stay. Will be booking again.

I felt so comfortable leaving Lacie with them. Enjoyed my vacation without any hesitation about her care or safety. 🥰

This was an excellent choice for my little dog. It is a lovely family and a wonderful neighborhood. My little dog came home happy and not worn out. She got lots of love and attention. I will certainly use them again.

I would like to know if the dog likes children. Also, if the dog has any special needs or medications. Also, has your fur baby ever been away from you before? Does your pup sleep in a crate or a doggy bed?
