“Adrian is the best! He is super communicative and sends lots of pictures of your fur baby throughout the day so you can see what they’re up to! My dog has separation anxiety and requires extra care, and Adrian was super attentive, making sure that she was comfortable and happy all day long. We will definitely be back!”
“Jessica took such great care of our Addie girl! We were needing care while we were out of town and Addie loved it. She had excellent communication and organization. She sent pictures regularly.”
“Maho and her beautiful dog Stella were so wonderful. They took excellent care of our two small dogs when we were visiting family in the area and needed help on a weekend. Getting pictures and videos along the day was the best. Her help was truly priceless.”
“My little dog is usually quite timid and shy of people and other dogs. But she warmed up right away to Hope and even sat on her lap. it was nice to see how relaxed and reassuring Hope was with the dogs and I’m sure that was communicated to my little Glinda. Hope was very accommodating to my schedule, which I appreciate it very much. we will be back”
About: We have taken care of pets since kids! We enjoy making your pet feel at home. We have a 3 year old lab named Blu. She is the sweetest dog ever and loves to play! You can trust that your pet will be safe and happy while you are away! I currently work part time, while my girlfriend works fully from home. This allows her to take after our dog Blu and watch over your dog all day! We do 3 hours a day of park play with potty breaks in between. Our dog is crate trained while we leave for periods longer than a few hours at a time. If your dog is also crate trained, we are happy to do the same. For house trained dogs we are happy to leave them out to free roam among request.

The Downs dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our boys had a great play day with Sara. For our youngest, this was his first time away from us and Sara was wonderful with him. She was also attentive to our older golden’s anxiety which we appreciated so much! Sara also delivered a personal touch with a detailed report on their day and the pictures. They will be boarding in January with Sara and we know they are in great hands! Thank you, Sara!
