Ready for your CALIFORNIA lifestyle

Pet care experience

LAGUNA WOODS, CA (as of 1/1/24) PROFILE UPDATE PENDING…we offer dog walking and drop in visits only, no day care or boarding as of 1/1/24. Former Colorado Rover sitters, JoAnne and Russ made the move to Laguna Woods, California late 2023. Although they no longer board dogs in their home, dog walking and drop-in visits are offered. JoAnne and Russ previously welcomed social, house-trained, vaccinated, fixed dogs who loved being in a pack environment, into their home in Colorado (08/17-12/23).

We couldn’t be happier with the experience provided by Russ and JoAnne. From our first meeting, their genuine love for animals reassured us that our dog was in safe hands. We would recommend Russ and JoAnne to anyone seeking reliable and caring Rover sitters - our dog returned home happy, healthy and clearly well-loved!

JoAnne and Russ are amazing! Tiki spent the week with them over Christmas break. We appreciated the fantastic communication with daily pictures, that really put us at ease. Tiki loves JoaAnne and Russ, she had a blast with all of the pups. She was exercised and snuggled daily, in addition to lots of wrestling time with the other pups. We are grateful to have found them.

Information JoAnne S. would like to know about your pet

TELL ABOUT YOUR FURRY KIDS — Please complete your dog’s profile so we can learn about them! There is usually a reason owners are searching for a new sitter. 1. Is your dog social, a loner, or food aggressive? 2. Any special cares for your pooch? 3. Your dog MUST be spayed or neutered and current on vaccinations. Please include along with Veterinarian information. 5. How does your dog do in a pack environment? NITTY GRITTY INFO— 1. A meet & greet is REQUIRED with you and your pooch before the first visit. We want to ensure all are comfortable with each other. 2. Special diet or medical cares, no problem! Written instructions required. 3. If your dog requires extensive play time/exercise or is high energy, a different sitter may be a better fit. Once we all meet and agree your dog will be happy with our services, a Rover invoice will be sent to you requiring payment before calendar space is officially reserved. We like to have fun and be silly with our Rover dogs and would love to have your pup be part of that! DOG WALKING or DROP-IN VISITS 7:00 AM thru 7:00PM

A typical day

Fun stuff? Done! We can play fetch, wrestle, provide belly rubs and casual walks or One-Wheel (with Russ) thru your neighborhood, on a leash. Your fur baby will enjoy their visit as much as we will!
