!!!Military Officer+Animal Lover!!!

My husband Barak and I love 💗 watching all types of pets and we would love to host them in our home (in EGAD) to include my big fully fenced in back yard! I can’t think of a more fun way to spend my time than to play with your furry friends! I love the idea of getting exercise, meeting new pups (and all other animals), and meeting new clients. We have been taking care of others furry family members for the past 12 years in Florida, Virginia, Germany, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Florida again. We have an amazing pup of our own (Rudder), I’m a pilot by trade, and he is a mini Aussie who is the sweetest and loves all other dogs and hoomans! He is even gentle with our chickens! 🐓 He is an amazing sitter/companion as well! I have been pet sitting either on Rover, Pawshake, or local Facebook groups and have had the whole gambit- very old, very young, those that were huge (bull mastiffs and Afghan sheep dogs-look them up so cool and big!) to the small guys that make a cat look big- and all were great experiences! Please consider us to take care of your most loved ones for either a short or long stay! Can't wait!

Amanda & Barak were absolutely amazing with our little Mickey! They kept us updated throughout his stay with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Mickey was having the best time and was being loved and cared for like one of their own. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with them again for future stays. Highly recommend!

Amanda and Barak were fantastic with our 3 month old dauschaund for the weekend! We had a last minute cancellation with our family friends, so what a blessing it was to find Amanda and Barak. Our little guy played for hours with their sweet doggy and knew he was in good hands with them. Thank you for taking care of him, the pictures & videos, and I'm sure Bert looks forward to playing again!

Our first experience with Rover was a great one because of Barak and Amanda. Our 2 Bostons loved staying with Barak and his 8 month old Aussie, Rudder. The 3 become big buddies by the end of the week. We even discovered one of our Bostons, Ninja, LOVED to play tether ball! We would not hesitate to ask them to watch our pups again! Thanks so very much!

Pets

A typical day

I would most likely take them on walks/runs with me at the beach or in my neighborhood. I love to play fetch, watch them run around, or simply cuddle with them once their energy is exhausted. Once they are pooped, I like to cuddle up in the evening with them and just chill.

Just what they are used to for their daily routine so that I can mimic that as close as possible. No breed preferences. I do ask that you provide MORE food than what they are used to having on a daily because I have had experiences where the owners flight is delayed or something out of their control and I had to cook chicken and rice for the dog due to running out of food. Please also let me know how they are around other dogs since we might encounter them on our walks.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
