Family of Dog Lovers

My son Ben loves animals. So much so that as a fun father/son project we setup shop on Rover! Several years later, he is now 20 years old and still loves doing this. We have a decently sized house with a carpeted basement and a hardwood upstairs. We live near several parks including a dog park and can get out of the house several times a day for needed fresh air.

Rob and family took care of our nervous-nelly pooch with such care and love. it is immediately clear that he was well-loved and secure. we were sent daily happy pix and got updates throughout. No notes, cant recommend more.

This was Theo’s second stay with Rob, Ben, & fam, and he was SO excited to see them. Usually when I am leaving for a trip he is very upset, but not this time! That says it all to me.

Theo was so well cared for by Rob, Ben, & their family. I loved knowing that he was with another elder dog and a group of humans to keep him company, and receiving daily updates with photos. I would love to book with them again in the future.

Rob and his family took great care of our dog! They were easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures and gave our pup tons of attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!

Rob did an excellent job with our two dogs, Rye and Olive. He sent pictures of the two dogs almost every day, and I could tell that the dogs were happy and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

We have experience giving dogs medication and taking care of older dogs. We have an fourteen-year-old, brown labradoodle named Bessy living with us who is very friendly. Dogs spending the night here will have their choice of crate, dog bed, or couch - but most choose to sleep on the bed with Ben!

Pets

A typical day

We love to play with dogs and will entertain them throughout the day. Midday naps and belly rubs are definitely on the schedule. Walking your dog as many times as it needs and making sure they are content by either playing with them or just being near them.
