Information Julie & Mark P. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your pups personality i.e., are they nervous, timid or high energy. Are they crate and/or potty trained? Do they chew on items they shouldn't? Are they scared of thunder or loud noises? What do you do to comfort your pup when needed? Are there special treats or games you play?

A typical day

We take several outdoor breaks a day, even in the winter, rain is the only deterrent to bring the games indoors. We play fetch and a version of hide and seek with their favorite toys so the pups are using their powerful scent skills and brain power. Bring your pups favorite toys too and we'll integrate them into our playtime!

I am so grateful to have found a couple like Julie and Mark to take care of my dog when I am not able. Whether it care for the day or an extended stay, I know that my dog is well cared for and loved on. They are great at sending pictures of him and his activities throughout the day. My dog is always excited when he shows up to their house. Their dog is a sweetheart and plays well with my dog. I whole heartedly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable caretakers for their pet.

Julie & Mark provided a caring home for our dogs while we traveled for 1 week during spring break. While we typically board our 7 year old dog, we didn’t feel good about boarding our 4 month old puppy. Rover proved to be a great alternative. Julie & Mark have a spacious and comfortable home, which they opened up to our dogs. Plus, they have a huge, fenced in backyard. They sent us daily updates with photos, so we stayed connected to our dogs while we were separated. Julie & Mark are warm and friendly. They seem to care for and genuinely enjoy the dogs they are watching. We feel lucky to have found Julie & Mark and will absolutely use them for future pet sitting needs.

Despite short notice due to a family emergency, Julie and Mark has accommodated Toby. Toby was well cared and had a great time staying with them. We will use them again.

Julie and Mark took wonderful care of our 11 month old dog. They even sent us pictures & videos of our pup daily having a great time, which put us at ease while we were away. They were also incredibly flexible when our flight was delayed on our way home. My husband and I are incredibly grateful for their care and love. Would 100% recommend them for your pet.
