Safety is ALWAYS my #1 priority!

Pet care experience

With three of my own, I understand that dogs are like family. I will go above and beyond for your pet as I do with my girls. I have experience rescuing and fostering seniors and dogs with special needs/behavioral challenges, so if your dog has special needs, you can be confident that I will be able to handle their care. I have experience administering both oral medications and injections, as well as managing separation anxiety and reactivity. I work with all my clients to make sure every sitting and walking experience is customized to the needs of their dog. When your pet stays with us, they will enjoy a fully fenced, large yard in a safe and centrally located neighborhood. We feed all animals separately and only watch dogs from one family at a time to ensure that they receive individual attention. While we do have three dogs of our own, none weigh more than 38lb and they are all well socialized with other dogs with zero history of dog aggression. Because my husband works from home and I only work part-time, your dog will rarely be left alone for more than an hour or two. We have no children, just our dogs and one cat (who loves dogs), so no worries if your pup is skittish around children! Our home will be a quiet sanctuary for them. I love all breeds—from Chihuahuas to Great Danes—I will be comfortable with your dog. I walk and dog sit because I LOVE dogs and I know I will love your dog too!

I was very happy to leave Mikey with PJ R. I felt very comfortable upon meeting her and her husband. She took excellent care of Mikey, giving me updates and sending pictures. I would definitely use PJ R again the next time I go out of town.

Amazing place to leave you pet. I had a change of travel plans and PJ really helped to make me feel at ease and was flexible enough to keep my dog apollo for an extra day! We’ll definitely be using this rover again
