In my home, safety and comfort come first. We live on 1.5 acres of land where I’ve trained my own dogs to respect boundaries and stay on property, but all guest dogs remain on-leash when outside unless otherwise agreed. I offer multiple housing options depending on the size and personality of your dog—ranging from crates (14in, 28in, or 48in metal) to larger 6x6x10 indoor kennel enclosures in our spacious 1200 sq ft basement. For social dogs, I’m able to introduce them carefully to my own confident and balanced dogs, but if separation is needed, I can easily house them apart. Guest dogs also spend plenty of time with me upstairs so they don’t feel isolated. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely—feeding, walk schedules, and house rules—while providing my own expertise where it benefits the dog. My only request is to use a slip lead leash, as it provides safer, more secure control, especially for larger or energetic breeds. I am comfortable administering medication, following special diets, and working with anxious dogs who need extra playtime or structure to relax. With years of experience handling XL American Bullies, combined with my calm demeanor and strong physical presence (6’4”, 275 lbs), I have yet to meet a dog I can’t handle safely. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where your dog feels secure and cared for like family. During bookings, I personally supervise any minor children in my home to ensure all pets remain safe and comfortable. I understand Rover’s Guarantee applies to sitters and the booked pets, not to other family members.
