Doggy Day Care • Jul 02, 2026

Would highly recommend Kate! We really appreciated that she was able to accommodate three days of daycare for our dog on short notice while we were on vacation. Kate was quick to respond to messages and sent photos and updates during the day. Our pup received lots of walks/exercise and came home happy and tired every evening. It gave me peace of mind to know he was in good hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you!!

Kate took wonderful care of Willow! Her frequent photos and updates reassured me Willow was not only content, but also having fun during her visit.

Katie was a great pet sitter for Yuki. By the photos sent it appeared that he quickly adjusted to Katie's care and this gave me great comfort as this was he first trip away from home. So glad Katie was the first to respond...whenever I return to Capemay I will consider Rover services.

A typical day

I love being with my dog all the time! She sits with me on the front porch and back deck. We take three walks a day and usually a long hike 3 times a week 5 miles. We have special floor time at night throwing toys and giving special attention. Our dog sleeps on the furniture and bed. We love pets!
