Pet care experience

Home is where the paws are!

We’ve had dogs as long as we both can remember and have always felt comfortable around any breed or size. Many friends and family have always called upon us when their pet is in need of some love and care and we have so much to go around. Our pups unfortunately passed away in 2020 & 2022 and we’ve been empty nesters since. Rover has been a way for us to continue experiencing the love that pups have to give, and has really helped us by providing some therapeutic support throughout our times of grief.

Excellent care! CoCo seemed very happy when we picked her up. It looked like she was well adjusted by the pics we got! Thanks Giovanni and Vanessa! We will continue to use you guys.

Vanessa, Gio and their family were amazing. They looked after Miso like he’s been apart of there family since birth. Your love animal will be safe and loved by them. The meet and greet is very thorough and they answered all of my questions. Always kept me informed on how my boy was doing. Book with them is a must

Our dogs were so well taken care of!! Gio knows dogs, is so well-organized and a man of his word. Our dogs were in great hands. We had such peace of mind leaving them in his care. Would absolutely use him again!

Vanessa and Gio were great with Frankie. They treated him as part of their family and had nothing but good things to say about him. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and happy place for their dog!

Pets are family in our home, and will always be treated with lots of love. You can rest easy knowing that your pup is in good hands. Patience is key and we have lots of it.

As mentioned before, we are dog lovers thru and thru. Depending on your dogs energy level and needs, we will adjust accordingly and take note of their likes and dislikes. We are more than happy to roll around in the grass or just hang out and snuggle.
