Pet care experience

We’re a dog loving retired couple

We love dogs. We have 35 years of experience with dogs and have raised 6 litters of puppies over those years. After our last dog passed, we decided instead of having our own, we would help others take care of their dogs. We will love your dog like it’s our own! We generally take care of one dog at a time, but may have a day or two overlap at times.

I'm glad that I decided to try Rover. Shari & Richard obviously love having dogs around. She was well taken care of and got lots of running, fun and loves. I've already booked again because she deserves the best.

Bowie had another amazing week with Shari and Richard! He was so excited to stay with them and sad to leave. Thank you!

For our first experience using Rover's boarding platform, we don't know if it is possible to do better than Shari & Richard! Thanks very much for accommodating us fairly last minute and being a pleasure to meet and a wonderful host to our sweet and silly dog. We certainly will be booking with you again! :)

Shari & Richard are amazing! They made sure Bowie’s needs were met, he was happy, his schedule was maintained and he had lots fun with play and exercise! We received regular updates, quick responses to any communication and were very confident that Bowie was well cared for and content. He was so sad to leave Shari and Richard, their affection and their big yard! Thank you! We will be back again🐶🐾

Shari and Richard took great care of my dog Galen, taking him for walks, playing fetch with him in the yard, and letting him snuggle in the evening. It's nice to find a place where I can leave my dog without having to worry about him at all. I won't hesitate to have Shari and Richard watch Galen again in the future.

Shari and Richard were great with Gus! We received photo and descriptive updates, which made us confident that our dog was safe and happy. Shari and Richard are very experienced with dogs and we highly recommend trusting them with your pet.

A bit of info on your dog’s personality would be helpful to know. Also any allergies you’re aware of. The level of your dog’s energy would also be good to know. We would prefer dogs less than 30 lbs. We would also prefer if your dog is used to children as our grandkids visit us regularly.
