A Couple 4 Responsible Loving Care

Pet care experience

I have had a dog in my life since I could remember. I started caring for dogs through Rover because we had lost our rescue dog due to old age and then trained a rescue dog to go to a forever home and all of a sudden I was without a dog in my life. I, along with my husband are retired (me semi-retired) and have a big love for dogs. We are active, responsible, and reliable and will love your dog to pieces. I have been a volunteer at Kritter Kamp and have cared for neighbor and friend's dogs and would love to walk, play with, and pamper your dog. We are clean and organized and can give you character references if needed. We love to take walks and would love to exercise your dog. We will tailor care according to your wishes as much as possible. We will treat your home with respect and care and give tons of attention to your four legged family member(s). We only care for one dog at a time in our home for those dogs who don't get along with other animals and also so your pup will always receive the love and attention that he/she deserves. Thank you.

Wendy and AJ were great communicators during my last minute booking. We were able to set up a meet and greet 3 hours before the needed dog care. They are both so sweet and showed great care for my dog, Harper. AJ was the primary caretaker for Harper during this stay and he was very communicative and supportive of all of her needs. He even left the house and yard better than it was initially. Not only was AJ thorough, caring, and thoughtful with each action for Harper, but he was like that for me as well. I definitely recommend both AJ and Wendy as I would book them again for my next Rover need.

Have had care from them in the past and always felt at ease with them in the house and totally comfy with their taking care of my dog (Sophie). Walks and loving of our dog is their focus. The house is always in as good if not better condition than when we leave and their attention to the small things is great. Neat and tidy - loving and caring. Great!!

I am so pleased and impressed with the love and care that 'Wendy K. and AJ gave to our dog Gracie. I've used them more than once and each time they greet Gracie with love, ask questions about her before the walk, and then report to me where they have walked her with information from an app that is just fascinating. Gracie comes home tired and happy...exactly what I asked for. :) I can't give them a high enough rating...you will just have to hire them yourself and you will be as happy as I am to write this testimonial.

I’ve been working with Wendy and AJ to care for our pup Buddy for almost 2 years now. Every single time I drop him off, I feel at peace, knowing he’s in good hands and that he’s going to have a great time! They pride themselves on giving Buddy the exercise he needs and playtime with his favorite toys. Wendy or AJ send pictures and tell stories of their time together, which shows me how much they truly care for him. They are both easy to communicate with and are always prompt to respond with their availability. They are true dog lovers and I plan to continue to work with them in the future!

Information Wendy K. & AJ P. would like to know about your pet

Please share general qualities (both good and bad) and your dog's routine. What does your doggie like and dislike? MUST be free of fleas and current on vaccinations. Please be completely housebroken. If your pup is a shedder, we usually refrain from boarding them in our home. Please fill out the itinerary and instruction section on Rover's site. I can then print and file your information for a great stay. When making a request for care, please include drop-off/arrival time and pick up/home arrival so that we can plan accordingly. **PLEASE NOTE-Rover charges in 24 hour increments. For this reason, if your dog is picked up or you arrive home past the time your pup(s) was originally dropped off/or started home care for, there will be an additional day care rate charge. Example: dog care begins at 10am on Saturday with care ending on 2 pm Monday. Rover will charge the 24 hour increment of 2 days, but a day care rate of 1 day will also be charged for the extra hours. If mileage is outside our radium, a fee may be charged for the additional miles. Thank you.

A typical day

We can provide walks through parks, trails, and neighborhoods, play fetch, practice basic training if desired (for additional flat fee), give basket bike rides (if small), brush and massage your dogs. We will give your dog tons of affection and attention! We don't just stay with your pups, we are actively with them and pay attention to them :)
