Highlights
Pet care experience
Need TLC for your extended family?
I have grown up and cared for several different breeds of dogs & cats, including the occasional turtle, ferret, snake and gator. I am a lover of all types of pets and would be happy to help care for your extended family member(s) as though they were one of my own. I joined Rover in late 2016 and have learned a lot over the years. I usually take notes on most of the dogs I care for so I know which dogs get along (or, more importantly, which do not), certain behaviors I start to notice or learn about them, etc. so as to help provide the best (& safe) experience I can. I truly do care about each pet I take care of as though they were my own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Anthony and his mom are the best. I am so glad I found and my boy Raahi is just loves going to his place, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and fun place for their pet!
Anthony really loves dogs and he’s our dog whisperer! Our dogs can’t wait to go to his place. He is a problem solver and find a way things work. I almost don’t want to give him high review because he is already very popular and might get too hard to book. I referred him to my dog friend and she’s now a regular customer of him too.
Great, as always. 😊 It's like their own vacation when they stay with Anthony!
My Rover go to person🙂
Second time boarding my dog with Anthony, and he absolutely loves it there. I couldn’t be happier or more at peace leaving him behind, knowing he’s so well cared for and truly in good hands.
Mason had a great time at Anthony’s!

Schedule
Taking care of pets is my only job so a good portion of my day is spent taking care of boarders inside my home, dropping in on other people's pets in their home or taking them for walks. I have a spacious backyard that provides a lot of room for energetic dogs, enough dog beds to keep them comfortable and enough toys to keep them occupied. I have a couple crates for those dogs that may need them (whether it’s to provide their own personal space or just a more secure space to stay when I’m not at home). I have one dog, named Buddy. He’s a Feist/Boston Terrier, energetic and usually eager to play or run around. He can be quite protective/possessive with his ball or Frisbee so sometimes gets a timeout in the house so other dogs can enjoy them as well. Buddy loves our spacious backyard and I'm sure your dogs will too.

Safety, trust & environment
I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your beloved pet and understand it can be a stressful experience for all involved. There are times when a meet n greet just isn't enough time to see if the dogs will be a good fit so I'm happy to offer a discounted (the lowest Rover will allow is $10-15) trial daycare visit to give them time to get used to each other and help set your (& my) mind at ease. While my dog is allowed (and I don't mind having yours) on the furniture, I'll abide by the rules/training you've set for yours. For older dogs and/or those with issues walking on hard wood floors: I have rugs that can be set out to help with mobility. If your dog requires a special diet (needs food mixed with yogurt, etc.) or needs to take oral medication, not a problem! I’m happy to accommodate whatever is needed for the health of your pet. Since this is my only source of income, I typically need to take a minimum of 5 boarders at a time. Since I have quite a few repeat clients, there are times I may take more dogs (for boarding or daycare), especially if I feel I know the dog temperaments well enough to determine they might get along well and/or my mom will be around to help manage their care. While I will do my best to try and make sure your pet’s stay is a fun & safe experience, please understand that there is always a chance that something can occur when you have more than one dog under one roof (or in one yard). This is the main reason I encourage clients to book their stays thru Rover as they have a Rover Guarantee, which can include up to $25,000 in vet care for eligible claims (please see https://www.rover.com/terms/guarantee/). It’s my understanding that there is a $250 deductible that applies whenever a claim is submitted for reimbursement. While I wish I could afford to cover this cost for my clients', if such an unfortunate event should arise, it is just not something I can afford to do. If this is a risk you don’t feel comfortable with, I would suggest finding a sitter that is able to afford only taking one client at a time.
Pets
A typical day
If we are able to take walks (which can be dependent on the # of dogs in the house), we would explore our neighborhood, which would most likely include the lake that is at the end of our street. Other fun activities can be whatever your dog prefers but I know my dogs enjoy playing tug-of-war, catch with a ball or frisbee and running around the house/backyard (with a ball or favorite stuffed animal/toy)
