Pet care experience

I love walks and dogs!

I have owned and taken care of dogs my whole life! We have a fenced yard with a doggy door, but also love to go on walks around Baldwin Park every night. I often take care of my daughter’s dog that is 42lb in California and my wife and I love hiking with him! I would love to walk your dog or welcome him/her into our home. We currently do not have a dog after ours passed a few years ago so we love the company!

We love Mike! My Josie just spent two weeks with Mike and his wife… She loves them so much! I can’t express enough, the peace of mind that I have leaving my love bug in such a loving and thoughtful home. Thankful!!! 🍀🐾❤️

5 Stars – Truly Loving Pet Sitters! Mike and his wife were absolutely wonderful while caring for Pumpkin, my mom’s dog, during her 5-day trip to her granddaughter’s wedding. Having Pumpkin stay in a home setting instead of a kennel made all the difference—it was comforting to know she was in a loving environment. It’s clear they are true dog lovers. They took her on daily walks, just like she’s used to, and sent us numerous photos each day showing her happy, relaxed, and being showered with affection. Their updates were so reassuring and allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing Pumpkin was being cared for like family. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

My first Rover experience and Josie’s first stay with Mike and Dianna. It was fantastic! They were so mindful about sending me nice updates and photos during the stay. I felt 100% comfortable and knew that Josie was in great hands! I am so happy to have found a home away from home for Josie when I have to travel. Great experience!❤️🐾
