Family of four with sweet Golden

Hello. I have been an owner of 4 dogs, trained 3 from puppyhood. We are a family of four with a 13 and 7 year old who love all animals. Our 2 year old Golden Retriever loves playmates. She’s naturally submissive and plays to the level of other dogs - even great with puppies. We have a fenced yard and go for walks 2-3 times a day. Happy to have your furry friend join us!

Maggie had a wonderful time and was definitely well loved by Harvin and his family. Harvin was easy to work with and would send me adorable pictures of a very happy Maggie. He took Maggie on walks and gave her lots of attention! Thank you Harvin and family!

Harvin is a wonderful host to watch your dog! He listens to your dogs needs and goes above and beyond to meet them. He sent daily photos to us, which provided so much relief as we were across the pond. You can tell he really just loves dogs! We will definitely be using Harvin again in the future.

Woof! Oliver here, reporting from my staycation with the very cool Harvin & Minxia! My humans had to go on a trip, and H&M (as I call them) saved me from kennel nightmares. And I got to hang with my new canine friend Oakley! This place is five paws out of five! H&M has this fenced-in backyard that's like a giant sniffari park. Squirrels! Birds! Possums! The occasional mystery critter that made my ears perk up! Inside, the house was cozy and full of my favorite smells. H&M even set up a special bed right next to my pal Oakely’s so I could keep an eye on things. Overall Experience: If you're looking for a five-star staycation for your dog, look no further than H&M. Would stay again!

Our aging pup had a wonderful stay with Harvin and Minxia. They were very considerate and proactive about communication. Their young pup is very good with other dogs, ours included. Thank you!

Derek O. I highly recommend Harvin as a pet caregiver! I have known him (and his dogs) for decades. His dogs are well loved and always well trained. Harv even brought a dog he fell in love with back from Rwanda. Harv is also a highly responsible, trustworthy, and kind individual!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in yard for dogs to play when weather is good. We keep our dog (and yours) on the main floor - with at least one adult company during the day, but they are welcome to sleep in our rooms at night. We prefer dogs not to be on the furniture or beds.

Pets

A typical day

I walk my own dog 3 times a day - up to 3 miles, so our dog will get a daily tour of the neighborhood. There is also a fair amount of backyard or park playtime with our daughters!

As we have a dog we only want to sit other dogs who are playful and friendly with other dogs and good with kids. Ideally we can meet beforehand for new clients to ensure the dogs are compatible. If your dog has any special needs we can most likely accommodate. I have owned a dog who needed allergy shots as well as cared for a dog who needed 3 times daily drops and gel in her eyes, so I am comfortable with additional needs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
