Our home is very relaxed, and our backyard is a dog paradise with lots of shade and different areas for dogs to claim their own space. We always have a crew of dogs, so your dog will have plenty of stimulation and exercise while at our home. We work from home and are here nearly all the time. Pickup and drop-off times are flexible—the key is communication and consideration—fees may apply where either is lacking.

Safety, trust & environment

The yard has plenty of room for guests to stretch it out and find their own space. We are happy to accommodate crating, and problem children will have some sort of time out until they can ground and be good guests. We are not disciplinarians but are pretty good at setting boundaries thru timeouts and rewards.

Information Chad A. would like to know about your pet

What they like and do not like—affection, food, and otherwise. How well they get along with other dogs, and how they feel about bipeds (humans). Potty needs and modes of communication. Do they prefer to be indoors or outdoors more.

A typical day

A typical day: We are mainly homebodies and love hanging with dogs. Playtime in the backyard, sitting at my feet while I work, cuddles on the couch.

Pet care experience

Rover is an amazing thing in my family's life. Our whole household REALLY LOVES DOGS. We love all the different dog personalities we get to know. We genuinely appreciate pet families trusting us to care for their pet(s). Boarding is our most used and preferred service of the Tree House. We have many regular clients who use our Boarding and Doggy Day Care services. We love all sizes of dogs and the full range of dog personalities. We host up to 4 guest dogs at a time and are very conscientious of the dogs we host and how they will interact. Therefore, if your dog does not do well with other dogs, our house may not be a great fit for your pet. We get requests for exclusive bookings, and where we can accommodate these requests, we will. ****price for exclusive bookings is 2X our service rate, currently $150/night or day care slot**** We require all new clients to do a meet- & -greet, so we can only accommodate last-minute new clients if we get a solid referral from another sitter, you are a friend of the family, or one of our regular clients referred you. We have found our guests do much better when they have been here and sniffed about before their stay. Your dog(s) will be loved and treated with the utmost respect by every member of our household and any other guests.

Chad was really great with our 2 year old boxer. Fast communication, pictures and updates everyday, and it was clear our dog enjoyed her stay - which was important because she can get separation anxiety. Thanks so much, Chad!

Chad took great care of our girls, who are both a little shy and take time to warm up. They seemed really relaxed when we picked them up--a good sign! Would definitely work with him again.

Chad was very responsive and Winnie seemed happy when we picked her up. Thanks Chad for accommodating us on our visit to the Bay Area.

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.
