Highlights
Pet care experience
Two full-time dog 🐕 lovers.
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!

Ratings and reviews
Martin and Robert love dogs and took wonderful care of Poppy. They sent me a lot of updates and pictures and Poppy was so happy in all of them! They took her on 4 walks! Robert even sewed her favorite toy back together! Really wonderful couple and animal lovers — you can tell.
Completely spoiled, doggy and human. We love ❤️ all the photos and personal care for our golden doodle. We can tell she is cared for in a very special way. Every detail is paid attention too. Ready for our next trip and can’t be knowing she will be back at home with Marty and Robert. Thank you!
Otto had the best time as always - thank you again!
Gabby loves these get aways where every fun moment is captured and she is spoiled with attention, walks, fetches and new smells of San Francisco. Thank you!!
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 😁

Schedule
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.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We usually have only one dog at a time. If you prefer your dog to be the only one with us, just let us know.
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.
