Pet care experience

No other pets - just yours.

When our dogs Buddy and Rocky passed away a few years ago we were heartbroken. My husband, Nathaniel and I love dogs and since then have found we love dog sitting! Even though we have a big fenced in yard, it's not the best for running because we have a garden. So, your little angel will always be supervised outdoors and spend most of their time indoors napping, playing and getting lots of attention. We love to send videos and pictures to mom and dad to make them feel comfortable and keep up with their baby's activities. We don't mind being texted, we know you miss your puppy dog. We like to meet potential clients before caring for your pet so you can see where they will be staying and answer your questions. We like to know your routine and house rules so your baby will feel at home. We make it a priority to treat your pet the way you do and keep up their training. You will read in the reviews that the pets we watch get excited when they drive up to our house. It's so sweet to see them run the full length of the house, jumping like Tigger, when they greet us! We don't open up our dates until a month in advance, so please contact us for availability and we can open that date on our calendar. We specialize in the harder to place dogs since we only take one dog family at a time. We welcome "dog aggressive" dogs, but not "people aggressive" dogs. Big working dog types are especially welcome. We have worked with a 100 pound slobbery Cane Corso Mastiff, an elderly German Shepherd, and many Staffordshire Terriers (pit bulls). It's not easy leaving a part of your family in someone else's care. We understand and hope to make it as easy as possible knowing they will be loved and pampered the way you would. See you soon! Nathaniel and April Inglewood, California

Best dog sitters ever!! We just moved to the area and were very nervous about finding a new sitter. April and Nathan are so warm and friendly, and obviously big dog lovers. They sent lots of updates and the dogs came home spoiled and exhausted. It was like leaving them with family. ❤️

April and Nathan are absolute angels. Charlie has been staying with them for many years and they are the best. As my Charlie gets older, it's harder to leave him and I know he will always be loved and cared for. They are so patient and sweet with him. Can't express my gratitude enough.

April and Nathan are the absolute best! They have watched Charlie for many years and there's nobody I trust more. He remembers their house every time and gets so excited when I pull up. Charlie is a senior now and they are so patient with him and so careful in making sure he gets his meds and everything he needs. Cant recommend them enough!

April and Nathan were beyond wonderful. Not only are they the kindest people, they took wonderful care of our two dogs for an overnight stay. We are so grateful for the communication and pic updates as well! Thank you so much, Waylon and Butter can’t wait to see you again soon.

April and Nathan are a huge comfort to us, and we're thankful for the service they provide. Looking after our boy, and knowing he's also comfortable and safe gives us an opportunity to relax a bit. We sincerely appreciate everything.

Schedule

OUR SCHEDULE I work at home and Nathaniel is retired, so we give your sweethearts lots of attention! I usually do the morning walk and feeding, and send a picture or two with an update to you. We share our time with them during the day and then Nathaniel walks them before bed.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety is most important. If we find any cuts or sores, we text you immediately. Sometimes, the owner's forget to tell us, so we like to keep the lines of communication open. We won't walk them in the neighborhood if you ask us not to. Unless you specifically ask us not to, we only take your dog on supervised walks using a leash in the backyard.

A typical day

Treats!! Naps!! And lots of love. We take them on several walks in the backyard and reinforce any training routines you have in place. 🐕

The most important thing we would like to know is your dog's temperament. Since your dog/dogs will be the only ones we care for, we don't mind if they are dog aggressive. We will not accept dogs that are people aggressive though. Please know that if your dog snarls or growls when we first meet, you will be turned away immediately. If you have any concerns we welcome a visit prior to booking to meet your pooch.
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.
