About: Dogs have been a part of my life for many years. And now that I have kids that want dogs we are looking for them to get experience caring for them. Your dog will be loved and cared for well while in our home. I'm currently a stay at home parent, so my schedule is flexible. Looking to care for dogs that are kid-friendly and enjoy attention and play. We have a backyard, but do not have a fence. The roads around us are not busy roads. Our backyard has nice amounts of shade and we have a nice neighborhood with sidewalks for walking.
“She took very good care of my 5 month old baby. I strongly recommend her. She have a beautiful and lovely family where Ur fur baby will enjoy their stay ?”
“Best rover hands down. Been using her almost a year now. My dog always leaves so happy. She takes amazing care of him and is always responds fast with great pictures.”
“Patricia was great. Took great care of our Lucci. Kept in communication with us letting us know how Lucci was doing. Her place is fantastic completely enclosed yard allowing plenty of space for doggie exercise. Additionally she even took Lucci for walks around her neighborhood. We could absolutely tell Lucci enjoyed himself while there he was so excited to see me but wanted to still play with Patricia. That is an absolute co formation to us that Lucci enjoyed his stay. We absolutely recommend Patricia as a Rover Sitter and we plan to use her again. Fran and Janice”
“Brooke took great care of our Belgium Malinois. It was probably a challenge because I'm French and that's the language I trained him in, and he's a very energetic dog and still he was played out from running outside and playing with the family. I would definitely have them sit my dog again!”
“Walter absolutely love staying with Matt! We will without a doubt be staying again.”
“Becky took care of our dog for a week while we were out of town. She is amazing and took great care of our dog. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which made my son super happy. Our dog had a great time!”
“We cannot recommend Kathy highly enough. Our dog has some unique qualifications we needed fulfilled (can't be unleashed outside, a little on the older side, only dog in the house) and Kathy was able to be incredibly accommodating during our dog's stay. She was also incredibly responsive and kept up with pictures and updates while we were away. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Had a meet and greet with Betsy for our corgi, Maggie ,last Thursday. Today Maggie spent 4 hours with Betsy. Betsy was excellent with her and their home and environment is dog friendly. Betsy has also been very responsive to any texts or requests that I have sent to her. We have arranged for Maggie to have a sleep-over in July!”
“Denise and her family took great care of Spiky while we were away. Her daughter and their puppy were wonderful companions for him. Highly recommend!”
“We’ve used Krista twice and our dogs have loved every minute! She takes such wonderful care of our goofballs and they love playing with her pups!”
