Information Joy & Zachary D. would like to know about your pet

I love to learn about your pets quirks, preferences, and behaviors! Sharing their likes and dislikes — and your preferences as well — helps me plan our play dates so that everyone is happy and tired when you pick up your fur babies!

A typical day

Milo says: We love to play ball, tug-o-war, and just run around and chase each other until we slurp up tasty fresh water and flop down in the shade, panting happily! Mama loves to pet us and sometimes even lets us cuddle on her lap. When my friends stay all day, we go for walkies together. Sometimes we go to the dog park together and play with new friends! We also love going to the beach and racing along the sand.

Pets

Loving family with big grassy yard!

Pet care experience

We love animals and they love us! Our dog gets along great with all kinds of dogs. He loves to play in our big, grassy backyard with friends! Plenty of shade, water, and toys. If our doggos need a break from each other it’s easy to separate them. Milo is a sweet, playful, 30-lb Shepherd/Collie Mutt rescued from the mean streets of Riverside County. We have 2 cats who mostly ignore doggos.

Joy and Zachary were both great with excellent communication and care for our pup!! Their dog Milo was the perfect playmate for our 1 year old dachshund. Thank you!

Zachary and Joy were so caring of Nori! Nori also had a great time playing with their dogs as well. Would recommend for day care!

Thanx again for allowing Milo to be an excellent playmate for Alf n Emily. This was our 1st experience using Rover and we felt very confident leaving our precious fur babies with Zavh and Joy.
