Family fun & love for your dog❤️
Pet care experience
When your dog is with us (s)he will be watched and loved by our whole family: myself; my wife, a stay at home mom; and our first grade son. Because my wife is at home during the day your dog will never be alone, she will be able to give love and care all day. Our son is a bit dog obsessed but also very patient and understanding of their varying temperaments and needs. He has been raised around dogs, and is excellent at sensing animals boundaries and needs. He knew how to hold his hand out to allow a dog to smell him before he learned how to say "dog." My wife and I were both raised with dogs, my family typically had two at a time. Growing up I helped to raise our dogs from puppies to seniors; subsequently, I am very comfortable with all ages and the different care that is needed for every stage of a dogs life. We all love dogs (and cats), all sizes and breeds, we love their many different quirks and personalities and how they reciprocate love in their own special way. We are very lucky to have a fenced in backyard that provides a safe, protected space for your dog to run and play. Our dog, truly one of the friendliest (and passive) dogs I've ever known, loves to play with other dogs in the yard for as long as possible. We decided to join Rover because we wanted more dog energy and love in our lives, and I hope we will get to enjoy time with yours.
Reviews
Martin and his family were wonderful to Lua!
Roxy came back a happy dog from Moira and Martin's home. She connected so well with their dog, Louie and son Marco! Roxy loves attention, and she received tons of it from the whole family. My husband and I appreciated the frequent check ins and photos of Roxy that Moira sent us. Most important of all, they readily took Roxy in when I made a last minute request to board her, since the person who was going to take care of Roxy fell ill suddenly.
Great communication and appreciated the photos sent for the few hours Luna was at Martin and Moira's home. They have a great family atmosphere and a beautiful backyard for the dogs to play ad be safe. Looking forward to having luna stay with them again soon!
So flexible and easy. Tiki loved the attention and being able to snuggle up on the couch. Will definitely book again. Thank you!

Information Martin P. would like to know about your pet
It is important that before meeting we talk about how your dog interacts with other dogs and with children. We do have baby gates to partition off areas of the house, which allows dogs to get to know each other at their own pace, feeling both safe and in control.
A typical day
When not playing in the back yard or cuddling on the couch, we will walk your dog around our quiet neighborhood. We live on a culdesac and the street ends next to a lovely wooded trail, absolutely the perfect place for short or long dog walks. When tired from walking and playing, your dog will get endless love from our 7 year son. He is excellent at giving dogs his love and their space, and careful not to overwhelm animals with his excitement. I have never met a dog who didn't get along with him.
