Safety, trust & environment

We love to have animals close to me whenever possible, and tend to bond with them pretty quickly. Our house is a very safe environment, and our neighborhood is very animal friendly. We only sit 1 dog at a time, to give he or she our full attention. This isn't a business for us, unlike some other folks on here.

Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Information Murray & Marisa G. would like to know about your pet

For right now we can only accept hypo-allergenic dogs (or close to hypo). Marisa is going through a 3-year allergy reduction program right now, so hopefully by the end of that we'll be able to open our home to ALL dogs -- which would be wonderful.

A typical day

Lots of attention while inside the house. Marisa and I both work from home, so playing with your dog is the perfect breaktime activity! Also, there would be lots of exercise walking around the neighborhood.

Pet care experience

We'd love to have a little chihuahua or maltese but travel too much to make that a reality :( My wife Marisa and I both grew up with animals, and have had many animals in our lives, and we'd take amazing care of yours. Unfortunately -- we can only take hypoallergenic (or close to it) dogs right now. Marisa is currently on a 3-year allergy treatment to get over her hair & dander allergy, but until then, we have to be careful. Sorry!!

We needed a last-minute booking; they were very accommodating and seems like Kona had a great time!

Murray and Marisa are friendly and down to earth people who genuinely love dogs. Our Kipo has high anxiety and social issues, but they welcomed her into their home with sincere kindness and patience. Thank you for taking great care of Kipo.

We left our dog with them for a long stay, and everything was great. They were very caring and attentive. Thank you for taking such good care of our dog.

Murray and Marisa are very kind and caring people. Our dog is quite anxious, but after staying with them he came back home with no issues — calm, healthy, happy. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
