I can't imagine leaving my dog with anyone else. Being with Katie and Donnie is like his 2nd home. I don't stress or worry when he is with them while I'm away.

Our Roxie had an amazing time with Katie and Donnie! She was spoiled and treated like a princess the entire time. We received wonderful videos of her stay and I could tell Roxie was safe, happy and healthy. They are salt of the Earth people that have a wonderful heart for dogs. Roxie will definitely be going back to visit!

This was Vinnie‘s first time staying with Katie and Donnie. They were so nice and welcoming . Their home and yard was perfect for pet sitting. Vinnie loves to be outside and the fenced in areas allowed him plenty of outdoor time. I would highly recommend Katie and Donnie and will be definitely using them again.

Mrs. Katie and Mr. Donnie are absolutely amazing people and some of the few people I would trust to care for my child (my dog). Not only are they very knowledgeable about pet care and have had qualified experience, they are also very kind and respectable people. I would 100% recommend Mrs. Katie and Mr. Donnie to anyone in need of their services. Thank you again for taking care of my dog!!

Our front yard is the best place for seniors as it has very easy steps to navigate.

Pets

A typical day

We have several different options based on what your pet enjoys. Plenty of space if they like to play fetch or chase the ball, lots of friends to play with and toys, and we also have the option of swimming in our inground pool, which, as of course, seasonal, and, based on the parents discretion.

I require you show proof that your pets are vaccinated for distemper Parvo, Bordetella and rabies within the past year unless it is a three year vaccine and proof of that is acceptable as well. We feed Royal adult medium food if your pup is eating anything different we encourage you to bring that food so their stomach does not get upset.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
