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.

It's wonderful to know while I'm on holidays my girl is getting so much attention, care & love.

I cannot recommend Shari and Richard enough! They watched my dog recently and did an absolutely amazing job. I received regular updates, and it was so clear that my dog Atlas was happy, safe, and completely spoiled with being able to run around freely in their huge yard!. It is such a huge relief to find someone so trustworthy and caring especially since this was Atlas’ first time with a dog sitter. Thank you again Shari & Richard for the very positive first experience for me and Atlas!

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! :)

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.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
