Max's Playpen

We understand the stress of trying to find a place for your pup. We have teo dogs, Mocha (a miniature Schnauzer) and Luka (a mix Lab). Having dogs has given my kids the confidence to feel comfortable around pets and lately we have been sharing our love with other dogs that we have cared for. The day starts with a walk, feeding, a later stroll down to the park (to play outside-based on weather), afternoon feed and a later walk. But if you feel this is too much for your dog, don't worry, we adapt and do what your dog likes best....We will take care of your dog with diligence and plenty of love. We have plenty of love to give.

My previous rover sitter cancelled a day before my scheduled booking. Israel was able to take my last minute booking for a long weekend with my senior disabled dog. She was very accommodating. My dog had meds that he was unwilling to take with his food even though I brought some shredded cheese for mix-ins, which turned out to be ineffective. Israel provided pill pockets and made sure my dog took his prescription meds. Israel’s was good about providing photos and status update every day. Yoshi seemed happy when I picked him up. I will definitely go back to Israel next time I need to be out of town.

I’m so grateful for Israel and his family! they truly saved the day! When an emergency came up with Rocko’s first sitter, they stepped in without hesitation and welcomed him with so much love. This was his second stay with them, and I knew he’d be in the best hands. Rocko came home happy, so loved, and so well cared for. I can’t thank them enough!

This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone other than family and it was a great experience. I love that the whole family is involved and that they sent photos regularly to let us know how Max was doing. Will definitely use Israel (and his family) again. Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much for taking good care of our Max while we were away.
