Joseph and Maria took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She is an indoor-outdoor cat who doesn’t do well with big changes to her routine so having twice-daily drop ins to feed her and let her in and out was ideal. Joseph sent us lovely updates and pictures and took care of her with the love and affection she is used to. I would trust Joseph and Maria with any pet and will definitely be calling on them again! This was my first time using Rover and am really happy with the experience.

We love Joseph! He’s so great with Ody, my 2 year old Samoyed. I always know he’s in good hands when I leave him with Joseph and Maria. Today they took him on a run and sent regular photo updates. Appreciate these two so much! :) 🐻‍❄️🤍

Joseph and his partner are a wonderfully calm, considerate, and caring pet loving people. Joseph took the time to arrange a meet and greet to be sure our beloved shihpoo “Kobee” would be a happy fit for a four day overnight stay in their home. I appreciated Joseph’s prompt replies, attention to the details and information provided about our dog, and his genuine interest in wanting to ensure the best possible stay for Kobee. The regular updates and photos made us feel that Kobee was safe and enjoying her own vacation too! I would highly recommend Joseph and his partner. I couldn’t have asked or dreamed of any better care. Kobee was happy and calm at pick up and adjusted very quickly bringing her home. Thank you both!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large 3 level house with a fenced yard with room to play. Experience on leash and in home with small, medium and large dog breeds. While I currently have no dogs, I do have an 8 year old cat named Theodore. Who has experience with dogs and can sometimes be shy at first but always ends up loving and playing with the dogs.
