Information Kelly & Karen G. would like to know about your pet

Let us know of any special needs your dog has. Please provide your dog’s favorite food so there’s continuity between home and the visit with us. And it is always good to know any of your dog special preferences, or habits. We always like to get a rough idea of vaccination history, as well as whether there have been any incidents of fleas recently. And it’s especially important for us to know what makes your dog happy.

A typical day

Lots of love for your dog — which includes lots of scratches. The sign of a good human for a dog is one that knows the right place to scratch — where it itches. Plus we talk to each dog by name. We take them on walks of course. The Burke-Gilman path is one good place for that.

Pet care experience

We grew up with dogs and cats. From 1990 to 2009 one of us (Kelly) bred and showed Maine Coon cats in CFA until he moved to the PNW in 2009. So that’s about 20 years of constant pet experience. Since 2009 we’ve had dogs. Now we have one dog named Hazel, an eight-year old female Maltadoodle named Hazel. That is all to say we have a lot of experience with cats and dogs.

Kelly was flexible and communicative when our flights home were delayed. Really appreciated knowing Eve was taken care of when we were stressed with travel!

I really appreciated their level of communication and care for our dogs. We received photos and videos on a daily basis. The dogs seemed pleased on their return home and we felt very much at peace. Thank yall for the great service and we will definitely be coming back!

We are repeat customers. I’ve started referring to them as his Rover grandparents to Ollie. When he arrived he happily trotted in. The love and care they show to the dogs in their care is obvious to anyone who brings their dog there. A+++++++

Eve had a great time going on adventures and snuggling in her cocoon! Thanks for taking care of her!

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.
