Pet care experience

Professional and Courteous Care!

Patti and I have been boarding dogs with Rover since October of 2016 and have had many great experiences as a host to these special dogs that their owner’s adore. We have owned and cared for our own dogs for over 16 years. We have had our friends pets stay overnight many times and they are always very happy with our care of their baby! We are organized, punctual, dependable, and will treat your pet as our own when they are in our care. We have a doggie door, a fenced in front and backyard that is very secure. We can take dogs up to 25 lbs maximum. Our dog Scout is a Jack Russell Terrier mix that is very mellow and gets along great with other dogs. We also have Juno which is an Italian Greyhound mix who is very sweet and she loves to play. My wife Patti is a retired nurse and is home during the day, I also work from home, so dogs are not left alone more than an hour or two a day. We would love to care for your special dog and provide them with exercise and fun!

Michael and Patti were so helpful in a time of crisis. They were available with very little notice, which we were very lucky and grateful for. Our dog really has a good time with them and their dogs, causing mischief and hilarity! We really lucked out meeting them. We know Jethro is in good hands and our minds and hearts are at ease. We actually feel guilty taking him away from his playmates. They are a treasure!

Michael and his partner have watched our little Lola several times while we’ve been in town this summer and have been such a huge help. They’re always happy to have her, flexible with timing, and Lola comes back happy as can be :)

Michael and Patti are very flexible with me dropping off and picking up Toto, which made my trip so much less stressful. Their pups are also good companions to Toto when I was away so I felt less bad for having to leave Toto.

Michael was an incredible sitter for my 10-year-old dog while I was traveling for 5 days. Michael made me feel comfortable and reassured at drop off by his calm demeanor and safe yard, his friendly dogs and neighborhood. He was very quick to respond to any communication, and watched my dog for an extra 8 hours due to my flight having serious delays. He was gracious and so kind to care for my dog like his own and go above and beyond with my delay. Would definitely request to have my dog stay with Michael again.

Michael was a great sitter. Communication was always prompt, and he made Murphy feel right at home. Would highly recommend!
