Your Dogs Home Away From Home!

For more than 38 years, we've shared our lives with dogs and we truly understand that every dog deserves love, patience, exercise, and plenty of attention. As a couple who genuinely enjoys having dogs around ALL OF THE TIME, we provide a calm, safe, and loving home where your pup will be treated like part of our family. They’ll have plenty of companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of affection. Our friendly dog, Maxwell, loves other dogs and enjoys making new friends. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, we'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Daily exercise is a priority. Your dog will enjoy at least two walks each day, along with supervised outdoor time on a leash. While we don't have a fenced yard, we live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that's perfect for safe walks and exploring. We're also happy to help with special requests, including administering medications, transporting your dog to veterinary appointments if needed, and sticking to your pet's normal routine. We know many pet parents don't like the idea of leaving their dogs alone all day or in a kennel. That's exactly why we opened our home. When your dog stays with us, they'll receive the personalized care we'd want for our own dog. We'd love the opportunity to welcome your furry family member into our home and give you peace of mind while you're away.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 01, 2025

Maria and Ian took such wonderful care of my girl! They were so warm and communicative, and I felt completely at ease knowing my girl was in excellent hands. I will absolutely work with them again in the future!

Maria and Ian were great! They were super responsive throughout Apollo's whole stay and I could tell he had a great time. I would use them again to watch Apollo in a heartbeat.

Maria and Ian were a dream. They loved on our dogs as much as we do and sent is continuous pictures and videos of them playing. They were extremely attentive, and were definitely more than we could have bargained for. Our dogs got along great with their dog, Max, and even played together the whole week they stayed! There was even part of their stay where Jax and Otis were afraid of the thunder, and they made sure they both felt safe and content in the storm. They live in a great neighborhood with plenty of wildlife for our dogs to enjoy watching during the day. We will definitely be leaving our dogs with them again!

We have indoor play with toys and a large backyard for throwing balls and the frisbee. Our street is on a dead end so it is pretty quiet for taking long walks.

Any/all medical issues would need to be addressed ahead of time. While I do have a lot of experience with senior dogs and administering oral/topical medications, I don't have any experience in administering shots. However, I'm competent and willing to learn if this is needed. Any type of anxieties would also be helpful to know. For example, my dog gets really anxious when phone sounds go off.
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.
