Dog loving couple with 2 dogs

Pet care experience

Hi there! We are excited to share our family with yours! Our family includes Thomas, myself (Sam), our son (under 1 yr old), and two energetic pups, Echo and Polaris. We are huge dog lovers, both of us have grown up with dogs our whole lives from Malteses to Pointers, Australian Shepards to Rottweilers, and could not imagine life without them. Thomas and I have known each other since college and when we finally were able to live and work in the same place, getting a couple dogs of our own was our top priority!

Sam took great care of our 2.5 year old GWP. This was our 1st time using them for care and I was super happy. She was very kind and asked the right questions on our first meet up which made me really comfortable. She had my Izzy for 2 days and nights. Whenever I text to ask how they were doing she was quick to respond and even sent me nice pictures without asking. If we are ever in need of pet care again, we will definitely be calling them. Highly recommend. Thank you so much Sam and Tom!

Sam and Thomas were great. I have a very large mastiff puppy who was nervous at first. They were very patient and he warmed up to their dogs the next day. I would use them again! Great first Rover experience!

Sam and Thomas are very professional and loving. They updated us daily with pictures and when we picked up Frank and Margo we could tell how cared for they were by them! We will absolutely be booking with them again. Thank you guys so much!

Safety, trust & environment

Over the years we have happily watched our family and friend's dogs (in addition to some other small mammals, fish, and reptiles). It is not a surprise if we go home for a visit just to help trim nails and take walks with family dogs. We have used Rover for our dogs before and cannot share our appreciation enough for the families and hosts that have taken such good care of our pups and are excited to open up our home to do the same. We believe positive reinforcement and providing lots of exercise is the way to go. Our girls Echo and Polar get lots of love and cuddle time when they are not doing laps around the house and the fenced in backyard. They are full of energy and excited to welcome any new guest (human or dog) into our home with lots of playtime. We look forward to answering any questions you have in order to help you make the best decision for you and your dog. We hope to be able to learn more about your dog and meet you all soon! - Sam & Thomas
