Pet care experience

Dog Lovers, Home 24/7, Backyard :)

My husband and I absolutely LOVE pets and the happiness they bring to our lives. We both grew up with animals - cats, dogs, rabbits, pigs, goats, and sheep to name a few. We've also been proud dog owners to two beautiful fur babies for the past 15 years. They now live with my parents in Chicago — making us empty nesters. We miss our fur babies so much that we decided to join Rover so that we can help others with their little ones! ☺️ We will take care of your fur baby as if they were part of our family. We will also provide you with plenty of daily updates and pictures! 📸 ____________________________________________

Lauren and Marko are so kind and so loving to our pup. They take such good care of him and all his needs and are so affectionate to him. They also do a great job sending photos and updates. There’s no one we trust more with our little guy.

Lauren took great care of Nash during his stay. She updated me often with pictures and I could tell he was having a great time and felt comfortable there ❤️

Lauren and Marko watched Charlie for two weeks while I was on vacation overseas. I was nervous about leaving him for so long, but they took such wonderful care of him that I never worried about him for a second! They sent picture every day and he was clearly happy and having a wonderful time.

I had a fantastic experience working with Lauren. She consistently sent photos of my dog and maintained excellent communication. She also accommodated my booking on short notice. I highly recommend her and look forward to scheduling visits again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

**ABOUT THE HOUSE** We live in a spacious 3 bedroom apartment with a fenced in backyard in JC Heights. We adapt our rules to the rules that you use at home with your pets. If you allow them on the furniture or in the bed, then we will also allow them on the furniture or in the bed. And vice versa. Your rules become our rules while your little one stays with us. 👍🏻 **WHAT TO EXPECT** Your pet will get all the love, attention and care during their stay with us! We LOVE going for long walks around the neighborhood with your little one. We will take them on walks to local coffee shops/restaurants and to the park — we know the best dog parks in Jersey City and Hoboken. We also use our fenced-in backyard as much as possible when the weather is nice — so you’re dog will have plenty of sunshine and exercise! We have an abundance of dog toys and tennis balls to keep your little one entertained. We also love to snuggle so they’ll feel right at home with us. 🥰
