Plenty of space to love & snuggle!

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of pets since I was young -- our own family pets, watching other's pets, and volunteering at a local shelter. Our senior pup passed away in April of 2022 and the house was empty without our tiny angel (pictured in my profile), which is how we came to Rover. We would love the opportunity to share our space with your dog(s), and shower them with all the love we have to give. I am used to administering medicine and being so gentle with senior dogs that may require extra help. Your dog will have free range of our house. I am able to crate if that's part of your routine/ training. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard. We love spending time outside in nice weather and taking as long a walk as your pup is accustomed to. We ask that your pup(s) be well socialized or at least comfortable in an environment with other dogs. As you'll see from the pics, we do book pups from multiple families, and while it's possible your pup will be here by themselves, it's very likely they'd be sharing the space with at least one other pup. Most of the pups enjoy each other's company, and some just want to find a cozy nook to sleep in. Either way is fine with us as long as the pups feel relaxed in that environment. For those that are new to me, my process is to do a phone call first so I can learn more about your pup's needs, likes, and routine. If it sounds like a good fit then we'll schedule an in person meet and greet so you and your pup can come see where they'll be staying and we can get to know one another. Ultimately, we want your pup (and you) to be comfortable in our space because we treat all the pups that come here like they're our own.

Alex did a great time taking care of my dog for a weekend. She was very friendly and attentive during the stay. I really appreciated the quick responses and many pictures and updates while I was away.

Alex and her family took amazing care of our senior dog, Libby. Alex went above and beyond to make sure Libby was comfortable and happy throughout the stay. She also sent the sweetest photos of the weekend. It was an A+ experience all the way!

Alex is amazing! She is the best and most responsible individual I've ever worked with for my doggie and her communications have been outstanding. Connery loves her and her family! She takes such good care of our doggie and he now gets excited when we drive up her street!

There's plenty of great places to walk for those pups with high energy that need more exercise. I'm equally as content cuddling them at home if that's the preference.
