Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced yard if your dog wants to play outside but the dog will spend their time with us inside or out. Whatever we're doing, your dog will be there with us. We enjoy hikes, so if your dog is able, we may go hiking. Otherwise, we can walk them to the park in our neighborhood where other dogs often play on a grassy field surrounded by fenced homes. This allows the dogs to safely roam near us (if you are comfortable with them off leash) as we walk and stay near them as they explore.

Information Michael & Cheryl D. would like to know about your pet

Just let us know if there's anything specific we should know about your dog. We are looking forward to taking care of your non-shedding dog!

A typical day

Typically early rise and breakfast right away. We'll take a morning walk to the park and have rest / cuddle time afterwards. We'll play games inside - with their toys or hiding a few treats "hide and seek" (if you allow treats), and out for another adventure / walk in the afternoon.

Pet care experience

Dog owners for 25 years, we currently do not have one and are seeking dogs to love, walk, and care for! Because we walk every day in the AM and PM, walking your dog would bring us so much joy! We're experienced with dogs from 7 weeks old to senior age, both small and large breeds. Non-shedding dog breeds only please.

I can’t say enough positive things about this rover experience. First of all Michael + Cheryl helped me with my dog Ducky with very short notice which was such a huge help. They were communicative and kind and have a lovely property where I know ducky was very content. They sent me pictures and updates while he was there and I felt totally at ease. Given the fact that I was traveling and needed to find care for Ducky in an unfamiliar city, I couldn’t have found a better fit. Thank you!!

We had such a happy pup today! Huge thank you to Michael and Cheryl for having Rosie over to play while the movers packed up our house. Their setup was great, they were kind and communicative, and they gave Rosie lots of love and attention!

Michael and Cheryl were fantastic with Bean! We did a meet and greet before hand and they helped settle my nerves about leaving him (I think I’m the one with separation anxiety ha!). I would definitely recommend them and Bean will see them in the future as well!

Cheryl and Mike took such great care of my pup. They are very communicative and my pup had an extra fun day with them. I will definitely be reaching out for more days to come!
