Pet care experience

Caring Family with Fenced Backyard

I have been a Rover sitter for over 8 years but have had dogs since I was a teenager. Currently I do not own a dog, my 16 1/2 year old Cocker Spaniel passed away, so I enjoy dog sitting to help fill that void. I prefer to watch dogs 40 lbs and under because I have two young children. If you are a traveler then I am the sitter for you. Also, I have been a behavior analyst which helps me to better understand behaviors and I analyze from a loving and gentle viewpoint when it comes to animal care giving. I love to have dogs in the household and would love to offer my services to dog owners in need of such. I also have an enclosed backyard overlooking a lake and this allows for dogs to have fun, socialize, explore or just enjoy the scenery.

Cassie was well taking care of during her stay. Charles was very good. He kept her feed and gave her baths as needed

First of all, be prepared to meet a lovely family. Their home was obviously perfect for Lucy but more importantly, the kindness and gentleness was beyond words. I was always immediately given an update and pics upon request and could not recommend this piece of paradise any higher. Thank you Charlie and Rebecca. So grateful to you.

Charles was very responsive and friendly as I was coming from out of state. He also gave my dog a bath before pick up which was super helpful as we had an 8 hour car ride. The fenced in back yard was super nice as I know my dog enjoyed outside time.

Charles is wonderful with our dog. Baxter is never ready to come home due to missing his little playmates! We always receive updates and pictures making our separation easier.

Safety, trust & environment

My fenced backyard is fun for your pet to explore and roam freely in a safe and supervised environment. We are also in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. .

A typical day

I like allowing our dog guests to run and explore the backyard with other dogs. I usually take dogs out every hour. Each dog has their own set of personality traits, so I like to build a rapport to get to know and understand each one better. I also have 2 sons who are very active sons and love dogs.
