Winona was excellent with our cat Meow! She shared updates every day, including lots of pictures, to keep us in the know. She was able to give the medicine Meow needs, which is not easy, and she made Meow feel at home. She even cleaned the litter box for us at the end of the week, which is far above and beyond our expectations.

Boarding • Aug 11, 2025

It is our first time to board our Cooper with her for a weekend —- we were really thankful we met her here in Rover. We had a meet up before his boarding and she asked all about our dog’s routine and tried to understand how she can handle him. She gives updates and pictures so often while we were away, which really appreciate! Note our dog is super active, playful, can be a lot to handle and still being trained ——our dog is still a pup (1 year and 8 months!) —- she was able to handle him really well. I see his pictures all smiling, and i couldnt be happier we found Winona. I will recommend her highly! She is fantastic! Thanks again for taking care of our Cooper! ❤️❤️

Doggy Day Care • Aug 09, 2025

Flawless experience from start to finish. Winona kept Frank happy, and active with multiple walks, great detailed updates in Rover’s care card, and clear photo updates throughout the day. She was completely flexible on pickup, and Frank had a blast with her dog Theo. He came home tired and content. I’ll gladly rebook — highly recommended.

Doggy Day Care • Nov 14, 2023

Winona was great with Tip! He is an anxious guy so I’m always nervous leaving him with people, but everything went great!

We took our kids to Disney and it was the first time that we were going ot have someone outside of our friends and family watch our dog. Winona made me feel so welcomed and like an old friend. She took care of Katie like she was hers. I received pictures and updates from Katie throughout each day! Overall it was great and I did not have to worry about my fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m living in a pets friendly neighborhood, 60% of the neighbors are having at least one dog at home. This area has a nice dog walk trail, 5 mins walking distance from home to a pond trail. I have a friendly dog for your furbaby company. My furbaby, Theo, is 3 and half years old certified services dog.

Pets

A typical day

My furbaby, Theo and other dogs I watch love to explore new places, and hiking provides a great opportunity for them to get some exercise and enjoy nature. I’m sure to choose a dog-friendly trail and bring plenty of water and snacks for furbabies. It was a great trip for us last Summer, we went to Great Bear mountain and Lake Gorges! This Spring, we went to Salt Lake City, Colorado and Yellowstone National Park! He was so much fun! Playing fetch! They love to play fetch, and it's a great way to bond with furbabies also providing them with some physical activity, depends on the dog activity level I watch. The dog park near my house is perfect for playing fetch.

To provide the best possible care and make sure furbabies have a safe and happy experience together. I will always make sure I get below information before I take care of the furbabies Medical history. If a dog has any pre-existing medical conditions, such as allergies, chronic illnesses, or injuries. What medication should be used or shouldn’t be used. Temperament. For example, you might want to know if a dog is anxious, fearful, or aggressive, so I can take the necessary precautions to keep them and yourself safe. Training. If the dog has been trained, it's important to know what commands they respond to, and how well they follow them. This information will help you communicate with the dog and ensure their safety. Socialization. If the dog has been socialized with other dogs, people, or animals, you should know how they interact with them. This information can help me prevent any potential conflicts or negative experiences. Diet. Knowing a dog's dietary requirements, including their food preferences, allergies, and any special feeding instructions, can help me provide them with appropriate nutrition and avoid any health issues. Exercise needs. Knowing a dog's exercise needs and preferences can help you provide them with enough physical activity to keep them healthy and happy. Vaccination and health records. It is important to know the dog's vaccination and health records to ensure that they are up to date and to prevent any potential health issues.
