“Joe and Celeste are such nice people and my Gunnar felt right at home. They have a large beautiful fenced in yard for running, playing and exercise. They treated Gunnar like one of the family.

We will definitely bring our dog again soon!”

About: I’m a very gentle and responsible person. I will take stellar care of your pets. I will follow any instructions that you give to me. I’m retired so I have lots of free time to love and walk and feed your pets. I would be honored to do so for you. I’m happy to walk your dogs around our lovely neighborhood. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I can take them to the dog park.

“Christy was amazing! Her home is welcoming and set up for pups. She had a couple other dogs when I took Kelso, and she was great with identifying the personalities and handling their needs. I have an older dog and she went out of her way and put mats down on the hardwood floors when his legs were tired. She kept me informed with messages and pictures the entire visit. It was an exceptional experience for the Kelso and me!”


“Janice is wonderful with our chocolate Labrador. We are very grateful that we found her on Rover. She is very attentive to his needs and gives him wonderful care. Thank you Janice!”
