Two pro sitters, play and loves!

Pet care experience

My partner and I are professional dogsitters who have a lot of experience as amateurs, independently, and through Rover sitting dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, colors, you name it. Nowadays, we prefer dogs that are calmer and get along well others. My partner Erica has some medical education through Reed College and professional experience working in vet and speciality dog offices, and currently works from home as a full time sitter. I've taken care of dogs ranging from a 13 year old teacup poodle to a giant, 120 pound 1 year old German Shepard, and I love all of them. I grew up both living with and dogsitting big and small, and with my years at Rover I'm used to everything by now. Erica has a similar wealth of experience, including caring for a blind old dog of her own. Our setup includes multiple big dog beds that dogs seem to love sleeping and playing on, along with our king sized bed that we fill with as many dogs as possible. We also have a massive fenced backyard for all their outside needs. We love playing fetch and chase, and always aim to make dogs feel safe and comfortable to play with each other. Due to safety reasons we don't do many walks but we do our best to meet their energy needs through play. We ask that any dogs staying here get along well with other dogs, since we always have at least one furry pal around, and we try to do meet and greets with everyone first so the dogs can meet us and you can check us out!

Alex & his partner did great with Carmen. She was there 5 days, & I could tell from the videos & pics he sent that she felt safe & relaxed, & she came home good & tired from playing with other dogs. Will definitely book again!

Alex is absolutely fantastic! He provided exceptional care for our pooch. We were delighted to receive numerous updates, along with plenty of photos and videos. To top it off, he went the extra mile by giving our pup a much-needed wash after an encounter with something quite unpleasant. A big thank you to Alex!

Love dogs of all breeds! Dog racism is for chumps! We only take fixed dogs and are curious about their allergies, medication, anxiety, and how they do with other dogs, especially little ones.

A typical day

Chase around the yard, fetch, playing, tug of war, wrestling, rolling around on the ground, squirrel chasing, big sleeping in the bed or the dog bed.
