I grew up with dogs in the country. Our dogs were always part of the family. While I’ve had cats as an adult, I never felt I had the time or space to have a dog full time. In recent years, my spouse and I noticed how many of our friends are reluctant to travel because they don’t have options for their pets. It saddened us to hear they’d drop them off at a kennel, and shocked us how much they had to pay for such a service. We’ve offered to take care of friends’ dogs when they’re away and discovered how much we enjoy spending time with a dog. Now that we both retired, we travel frequently, so we’re still reluctant to have a full-time pet, but we are in a great position to take care of yours from time to time. When we’re home, we’re 100% available for your dog.

Information Martin Grimes & Robert A. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog house trained? We typically block off carpeted areas until we see that dogs are acclimated to our home and routine. Does your dog get along with other dogs? We can seek out other dogs or avoid them. Is your dog good with kids? We sometimes take care of our nine-year-old niece. She loves kid-friendly dogs! We’ll let you know if she’s going to be around. Is it OK if we give your dog a bath? Can we share our doggy treats?

A typical day

We’re in a condo that has a large, fenced grassy area in the back. We’re a just a short walk to Christopher Field. We’re happy to throw a ball until your dog has had enough. If your dog loves longer walks, we love taking pups to Glen Canyon, Twin Peaks and Crissy Field.

We have had a great time taking care of dogs through Rover for more than five years. Dogs seem to love our calm, caring energy and 100% attention. What great fun we’ve had and such terrific reviews!

Martin and Robert were phenomenal! They took such good care of Hudson and sent plenty of photos showing him having a great time! They were also very flexible when we had flight delays

Wonderful people who did an amazing job tiring out my dog, sent lots of photos, took him on many walks, played ball with him a lot, and just spent time playing and cuddling with him. Overall, my dog had a wonderful time. And now, after I picked him up, he’s sleeping like a rock 😁

Martin and Robert are wonderful! Very communicative and take great care of Luna. They have watched her a handful of times.
