Information Blythe R. would like to know about your pet

If you are requesting to board your dog at my home, I prefer to meet them in advance. We can take a lap around the block together and give your dog a chance to give my apartment the once-over and make sure it's a good fit for everyone. If you need dog walking or drop-in services outside of my service radius, I am open to discussing a higher rate that accounts for the increased travel time required.

A typical day

My neighborhood is great for long, easy walks. I have personal outdoor space if your dog is not much of a walker, but it is not fully fenced.

So grateful for Blythe!! Our dog Belle adores her and always has a great time staying with her. We love getting Blythe’s daily photos and updates, and it’s always clear that Belle is happy and comfortable during her stay. The peace of mind knowing she’s being well cared for while we’re away is priceless! Thank you so much for another great stay, Blythe!

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.
