Pet care experience

Dog loving family

I have spent my whole life around dogs. My dad was a dog trainer in Alaska so I was able to learn a lot from him over the years. Since then my family has had our own dog which sadly passed away a year ago after 12 sweet years together. We have dog sat for friends and family over the years as our home makes a great space for dog sitting, but have not professionally dog sat before until now.

Emily and Michael were great to work with and took great care of Bear and Maverick in their home. We loved receiving updates and pictures while we were out of town. We would highly recommend them and have a great set up with the fenced yard. I am sure you and your family will see Bear and Maverick again. Thanks

Michael, Emily and their kiddos did a great job caring for our 3 yr old bernadoodle. Daisy loved her time with them. She got to go on walks, play ball, take care of rides and chilled with the family. It was a great experience for everyone. Will definitely book with Emily and Michael again.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 13, 2026

Thank you, Michael and Emily, for allowing Willow to hang out with you on Thursday. Appreciated your watchful attention and superb care that you gave to Willow throughout the entire day. Receiving the many pics of walks, ball time in your huge “fenced in” backyard and just chilling, helped me to relax and to know she was in great hands. Hope we can do it again, real soon!

I truly appreciated they only book 1 dog at a time. It gives me piece of mind. Having a fenced in yard for sunbathing and running is an added bonus. I received regular updates and photos of Lucy as well! I know she was very well cared for by the family. I would book again if needed. For sure!

Mousse had the best time with Emily and Michael. They sent daily pictures of him and gave us such comfort knowing he was taken such good care of while we were away. They played ball with him, walked him and have him lots of attention. We will definitely book with them again.

Schedule

We work from home so your pup will rarely be on their own. We also have a fenced back yard so they can play outside safely! We have three daughters that love to play with dogs so they will keep them perfectly entertained. We enjoy family walks in our neighborhood that your pup would join us on!

Safety, trust & environment

We currently have no other pets after our sweet dog passed away a year ago. We miss having a dog in our home but aren’t ready for a new permanent pup so Rover seemed like a wonderful idea for our family. Your dog will be treated as our own with our girls being able to play with your pup in our fenced back yard.

A typical day

Our kids love to play with the dogs that we have watched in the past. A typical day would consist of walks in the neighborhood, playing in our back yard, and relaxing at home. Since we work from home, your dog will have company most of the day

Our only request is that your dog is not fearful of children. Our kids love to play and are careful around dogs and do know what they are and are not allowed to do around dogs, but we do still want to ensure that your pup enjoys children as well!
