Pet care experience

Energy abounds! You can feel secure

We have always had a dog centered in our family to add to the joy. Rover opportunities have answered our quest to carry that joy into our retirement while providing a great service to pet owners. This summer begins our sixth year of our Rover association and we are proud to have very loyal families that trusted us from the start. Our customers have all been on Bainbridge Island and now we have moved to Poulsbo where we can open uo to that community as well. Our testimonials speak to our dedication and trustworthiness and love of those we care for. We have faced health and physical challenges with our own dogs, sometimes extreme, which has granted the knowledge of how to cope with and care for special needs. We can administer IV meds as well as any other medications required. Spontaneity is the key for a fun and care free life which you will find with us in scheduling and care.

Absolutely wonderful pet sitters! This was our first time using a service, and they made us feel totally comfortable the entire time. Our dogs we very happy and didn’t even want to leave when we came to pick them up!

Beyond blessed by the love and care they gave to our fur baby! Karen communicated daily and sent pics of them having fun outdoors and being snuggled at home. Could not recommend a better sitter for your dog! Highly recommend!

Karen and Mark welcomed our doodle like he was part of their family. They sent me pictures so I could see how well he was doing which I truly appreciated. Jax was so comfortable there I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us especially since he made great friends with their doodle. I highly recommend Karen and Mark.

An overnight for Sofia. Grateful we have such a fun and safe place to leave her. We are always confident that she will have a wonderful time and that Karen and Mark are very capable to handle any unforeseen circumstances.

We love and appreciate the personalities of all breeds. We appreciate knowing if there is any anxiety over separation or of new places, and how your dog reacts to other dogs should we pass them along the way. Schedule expectations are interesting to know as well.
