About: A bit about myself, although it may seem as I'm a newcomer here to the Rover platform ,I am not as this is my 2nd time around , I unfortunately had to leave the platform due to personal reasons a couple of years ago ... But i am happily back and i am hoping that my many many past clients as well as new clients will once again enjoy my services ... i am a full time homebody (retired) I am used to caring for elderly dogs as well as young puppies ,,, Oral medicine not a problem . Doggies are always separated at feeding times to avoid problems. NEW CLIENTS GET FIRST NIGHT FREE , MINIMUM 3 NIGHT STAY I am a retired man that is always home , I also have backup help from my retired roommate ,, If there is any time that the dog is alone its not more than 2 to 3 hours. My backyard is very doggie escape proof ,,, complete cement fence that is very high , artificial turf so there is not a flea problem.

About: What sets me apart is a lifelong connection to dogs and a deep understanding of their care. I’ve grown up with dogs since childhood, and they’ve always been an important part of my home and family. I currently have a dog of my own, and our family dog still lives back home. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m experienced in recognizing their individual needs, providing consistent routines, and creating a safe, comfortable environment. With me, your dog will receive reliable, attentive care and the same love and respect I give my own pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full time. This allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, whether it’s for feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m able to follow any specific routines or needs your pet may have without interruption, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment in the city with my girlfriend and our 20-pound beagle mix, a sweet rescue from Mexico who loves the company of other dogs. Our home is calm, secure, and ideal for dogs who enjoy companionship and a peaceful environment. We’re mindful of safety at all times—whether it’s during walks, mealtime, or play—and we make sure every pet feels at home, loved, and well cared for.
