Pet care experience

Dog loving retired couple

We have had dogs all our lives, up until our two beautiful poodles (sisters) died of old age in the past year. We miss the companionship of dogs, but because we want to travel more, this opportunity to care for dogs on our timeline is very appealing. Clients can expect the best of care from us.

Mike and Lorraine took such great care of Van while we were away! We were nervous using Rover for the first time and they really put us at ease. We loved the picture updates and kind feedback throughout the stay. Will definitely hope to book with them for future trips.

Michael and Loraine took great care of Jax, our Bichpoo. You can tell they have had dogs and are true dog lovers. Jax took to them right away, thanks to their loving manner and welcoming warmth. We’re already booked for our next trip!

Thank you so much Lorie and Mike for taking great care of Zizu while we were away. You took care of Zizu as your own pet. We could tell as Zizu had a great transition back home. We like the fact that you care for only one dog, which is less stressful for our dog-a Covid-born pet. Plus he seemed to enjoy his walks and a clean and safe home environment. This let us enjoy our vacation without any stress. Thanks again so much for all your help!

Schedule

We are both retired so we are flexible. We do travel a few times a year but the rest of the time we would love to welcome and take care of well-behaved gentle dogs who appreciate lots of attention and loving care.
