Pet care experience

PLEASE READ ENTIRE SECTION BEFORE BOOKING SERVICE RADIUS: The service radius that Rover shows on our profile is not accurate. We base our service area on where we can go by foot or bus while still being able to keep all of our appointments. For an accurate service area, see below: Walks/Drop-In Visits: SE Division to SE Holgate, SE 26th to SE 49th Overnight Visits: North of Powell: SE Belmont to SE Powell, SE 20th to SE 50th, South of Powell: SE Powell to SE Holgate, SE 31st to SE 50th If you are slightly outside of our service area, please feel welcome to send us a message and we will see if we can accommodate you. COVID INFORMATION: We will be masking during meet and greets, it is appreciated if you do as well but not expected. Both of us have been vaccinated and boosted. Should we have any exposure or experience any symptoms our clients will be notified ASAP. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further questions or concerns re: COVID. We want to do our part to keep everyone as healthy as possible!! Both of us have been taking care of animals our whole lives for our family, friends & roommates and decided to pursue it professionally in the summer of 2018, when we joined Rover. Joining Rover has been an absolute delight and nothing makes us happier than bringing peace of mind to owners and their pets. We understand that every animal has their own personality & needs and we will always be patient and accommodating. We know how much you and your pets value consistency and will make sure we follow your rules, training and schedule to the best of our ability. Making sure that your pet is happy and safe is our number one priority and we'll always be sure to reach out with questions to ensure that we're providing them with the best care possible. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, we also have our own insurance through PCI. We have plenty of experience caring for both cats and dogs and have no limits re: breed, age, etc. Animals are truly a source of joy for us and we feel privileged that we get to take care of people's pets for a living! (Please note that we ONLY watch cats and dogs. We will feed your fish or chicken, but cannot care for any other pets.) We typically prefer to schedule a meet and greet before all visits when possible so that we can make sure we are a good fit for you and your pet. A note on animals with health or behavioral issues: If your pet has health problems and needs special care such as being given medication or assistance with walking, we will do our best to meet your needs. However, we have no formal veterinary training and if your pet's needs are beyond the care we feel we can safely provide, we may decline your request. If we feel that your animal's behavior is likely to put us, your animal or another animal in danger and there is no solution in place or being actively pursued, we may decide that we can no longer care for your animal. If you are aware of your pet's behavior and are actively working on training or other solutions, please let us know and we will be happy to chat with you about your situation and see if we are a good fit.

Ashley and Nathan took such great care of our 2 older dogs and didn't blink an eye about their somewhat convoluted food instructions. They kept me updated with brief reports and photos of the dogs looking very chill, so I never doubted that the dogs were super comfortable. Ashley and Nathan also left the house as tidy as they found it, brought in mail, etc. It was my first time using Rover and these pet professionals made it a great experience!

Ashley and Nathan took great care of my dogs, garden, and home. They were not fazed by one of my dogs' reactivity issues. I will definitely hire them again!

Safety, trust & environment

Whatever setup/routine you have for your pet in your home, we will follow. At baseline, we keep all dogs away from other dogs during walks and always keep them leashed. Keeping your dog leashed when outside of your home is non-negotiable, our insurance (separate from the Rover Guarantee) does not allow us to take dogs off leash. If your dog has a dog friend that they get along with, we are happy to let them play together with your permission. We only give pets treats/food approved by their owners and are incredibly diligent about keeping human food (especially foods toxic to pets) out of reach. During inclement weather we will always reach out to ask how you'd like us to go about your pet's care.

Information Ashley C. & Nathan B. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog leash reactive during walks? Does your dog resource guard? Does your dog experience any anxiety or aggression? Does your pet have any allergies or health problems? Are there any behavioral problems we should know how to handle?

A typical day

We'll play fetch, tug of war and maybe even learn some new tricks! If your dog has any dog friends that live nearby, we're happy to set up a puppy play date (with your permission of course)! Your dog will get plenty of outdoor time, weather permitting. Please note that we always keep dogs leashed for safety and insurance reasons. We're also happy to keep up with any training you might be working on with your dog. Your cat will also get plenty of play time and attention! Brushes, laser pointer, treat puzzles, toys - we'll be sure they get exercise and enrichment while we're with them!

We can typically check on pets every 4-6 hours during a typical housesitting booking. If your pet cannot be left alone for at least 4 hours, we will not be able to watch them. Our primary focus is pet care, but we do have some other occasional work plus general life stuff (errands, appointments, etc) that we need to attend to. When our schedule permits we do try to spend as much time as possible with your pet!
