Your Dogs 2nd home!
Pet care experience
I absolutely love working with dogs! I have been sitting on Rover for about 5 years now but have over 20 years of experience with dogs and all animals in general. There’s just nothing like getting to take care of a pup and bring a smile to their face. I know how stressful it can be to be away from your best friend, so I’m there to help fill that gap. My home is very welcoming to pups of all kind! Your pup would be cared for by my partner Jacob and myself. Although I’m the primary caregiver, it’s nice to have an extra helping hand now and again! We live together with our two fur babies Iris and Phoebe. Iris is a Yorkie/Chihuahua mix and Phoebe is full bred Chihuahua. It feels like I’m always sitting another pup though, so it feels like we just have three dogs! I am home all day every day, which means that I am the perfect match for pups that are used to having a presence at home with them. I’m always ready to provide love and care to the pups that I’m watching, which includes tons of cuddles and exercise. Sitting is my full-time job, which means that I bring the same amount of professionalism you’d expect in any other job. I am quick to reply and am always happy to take pups last minute. My town is called Belmont Cragin. Its pretty quiet and peaceful as well. Your pup will LOVE my backyard, it's huge and completely fenced in. I live in a 4 bedroom house, so it is very spacious and very comforting. We have lots of toys and lots of doggy beds as well! When I’m not sitting, I like to be outdoors, biking, skating, walking and laying in my hammock in the summer! I read A LOT and I like playing video games. I am a very family-oriented person so I try to visit my grandma as much as I can. My dogs are my life, so my time tends to revolve around them.
Reviews
We boarded our pup with Anthony and his partner over the holidays. We liked that, as they point out, they do this full time, so we figured our pup wouldn't be left in a new place unsupervised. He was also prompt about responding to messages. He sent a couple of updates over the week that we were gone (this was our first time using Rover so The reason for the lower rating - the biggest one is that our pup came back with much more food than we expected to be left over at the end, she seemed even skinnier than usual, and has been wolfing down her food (usually she lets it sit around for hours). She hasn't had trouble with not eating when we've been out of town in the past, and Anthony didn't mention anything about her not eating well, so I'm concerned she wasn't fed enough. I had written on the food box how much she should get. Anthony had mentioned they get super busy over the holidays, so maybe they had just overcommitted to too many dogs, but still, this is the big reason I won't be going with them again. She also destroyed her winter jacket, which is partially on her, but I did try to warn that she destroys stuff while she's in her crate and it was left on top of the crate. This is more understandable to me than the food issue.
We've entrusted our energetic puppy, Appa, to Anthony for both short and long-term stays, and each time has been exceptional. The reliability of his service is unmatched, always providing timely and reassuring updates. This is our third booking with him, and Appa couldn't be in better hands. Highly recommended for pet owners seeking peace of mind.
Thank you! Yoshi had a great time. Thank you for the pic updates, definitely put my mind at ease.
Anthony took great care of my puppy. She had fun, played a lot, and came back exhausted. All pluses.

Information Anthony A. would like to know about your pet
Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
I know how important it is for pups to get as much exercise as possible, so we’ll make sure to get out for tons of walks together. I’m happy to go out once every three hours if necessary! Whether that’s a quick game of fetch in the backyard or a run around the neighborhood, I’m always happy to get out and stretch the legs! I’m also happy to get out end explore as well. Trips to the lake for a jump in the water are always appreciated. Finally, I’m always happy to curl up on the couch together with a good book and cuddle!
