Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced yard, there will be a friendly 4yr old Chocolate Lab here for company. My friends consider me to be the dog whisperer, known to be reliable, loveable and patient. Your dog can come along on walks, visit Quiet Waters, and could even come to the family farm - which our dog loves.

Information Andy & Lydia M. would like to know about your pet

Please provide as much information as you can for your pet. I review each pet before accepting a booking, just to ensure that this will be a good match for you - and for us.

A typical day

Your pet will be treated as part of our family and will take part of all activities we have planned for Luna. This routine includes daily morning walks, many outings into the fenced yard during the day (play time to chase balls, sticks, have zoomies). Evenings are nestled on the couch. Sleeping arrangements depend on your dog(s), we have crates setup for our dogs (one recently passed away), so that is an option. Otherwise they just might sleep with us.

Pet care experience

The Cockapoo I rescued from a horrible shelter in Oxford, NC lived to be 21yrs old. Had dogs all my life, friends have often entrusted me to watch their pets while they vacationed. Now happily married (we got married at the Senior Dog sanctuary in Severn), my wife Lydia has rescued and cared for many dogs since childhood. While I get to work from home (i.e will be able to tend to your dogs' every need, she has to run out to "make money" for milk bones and will assist during the evenings and on weekends. We love to take our dog to Quiet Waters park and with your permission, will take yours as well. Our home (albeit small) has a fully fenced yard. Tips are greatly appreciated - we provide much better service than any kennel!

Andy & Lydia did an outstanding job taking care of Bella. Andy was great at communicating how she was doing everyday & responding quickly to our texts. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Bella was having a fun time on her stay & being well taken care of. We will definitely use them again & recommend to others.

Another wonderful experience with Andy and Lydia! We love booking with them (and our dear Pretzel loves playing with their Luna). Don’t ever hesitate to book with Andy and Lydia; you will not be disappointed by their service.

Andy was great as always. We had a few schedule changes due to the TSA waits at BWI over spring break, but Andy was quick to respond. We had daily updates and got a full report of how Nax did at the end. We've used Andy several times and will continue to.

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.
