Loving and Caring Dog Sitters

My husband Gary and I have been dog sitting with Rover several many years. First for six years when we lived in Kirkland Washington and then moved to Indio California. We sat dogs there for 7 years and now have returned to the northwest and are living in Lake Stevens. We live in a house with a large backyard with secured fencing where the dogs can play. The backyard has green grass as well which good for playing ball. We can walk the dogs on our street as well which has very little traffic, as we are at the end of street that dead end street that is about one-quarter mile long. We are dog lovers !!

Dino & Gary were fantastic! Warm and welcoming! Very communicative which we really like. Our dogs loved them from minute 1 - and having the yard to run around is a bonus. Their beautiful home is open to the dogs to explore as well as make themselves at home on their furniture!! HIghly recommended yet Hate to recommend in case they are booked for our next trip!!

Dino & Gary took wonderful care of our senior small dog for 15 days. They sent pictures and small updates throughout, all of which made it clear how happy and comfortable our boy Louie was with them. Communication was great and we were super confident we made the right decision leaving him in their care!

These guys were great! They accepted our dog Gracie on short notice. I wasn't sure how it would work out as they had other dogs there. She loved it and I could see when we picked her up that she loved Dino and Gary as well. Thank you

My dog suffers from severe separation anxiety which is the very reason that for 10 years she was never separated from us. When I had to board her for an entire weekend I was extremely concerned on how she would behave. On Monday when I came to pick her up she acted as if she had an awesome time and wasn't ready to go home with me yet lol. She seemed truly happy and content. I highly recommend these guys. I look forward to other getaway opportunities because I found a safe and enjoyable place my little Gracie.
