Dog-loving family with a large yard

Pet care experience

Our family started fostering puppies during COVID as a great volunteer opportunity to do together. Now we welcome more dogs into our home who can play with our social golden retriever. By choosing us, you get four people to love on your pet. Our daughters are 11 and 13 and are very responsible and love to throw the ball in the backyard for dogs. We have hosted over a dozen foster puppies and now many Rovers in our home and we are excited to meet your dog!

My dog friends cam back so happy and obviously had a great time with Kelly, Jim and their family. I ran in to some weather on the way back and they were also really accommodating about extending our booking. 10/10 would recommend.

We felt at ease leaving our dog in the care of Kelly, Jim & family. They truly love dogs and it shows! They cared well for our dog and gave him a welcoming, clean, comfortable environment while we were away. They were great with updates and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

They were great! Took awesome care of our dog Winnie, their own dog was super friendly and social which helped make our dog feel at home. Great communication, clean home. Would definitely book with them again!

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.
