Pet care experience

Wag more, at Speckles' house!

I treat my dogs like family, that's the way I was brought up. Hershey, my first, lived to be nearly 15 years old, and 2 knee replacement surgeries before I had to make the hard, hard decision to let her go. Blaze, my boxer, I had to let go much sooner due a degenerative spinal disease that took his mobility. I lost my Speckles to lymphoma in June 2022, a rescue Basset Heeler from Oklahoma. I have a yard filled with trees and squirrels. My home is furry, I don't mind. There is nothing like the love of a dog. I am a dog person with lots of love to give! My booking is set to 2 dogs at a time, but have boarded more on occasion. I will take repeat guests, if I feel comfortable with their temperament, up to 4 dogs /night.

I am home most of the day, and my guests spend a lot of time lounging and cuddling, so low-energy dogs fit in best here.

I need to know approximate drop-off and pickup times, I need to know that your dog is safe for me and my home, that all recommended vaccines are up to date, flea/tick protection is being used and that there is no aggressive history. I also need to know if the dog is an escape artist. If your dogs can be trusted to not chew/destroy furniture or belongings, they are fine to stay out while I am gone. If they are normally crated or are destructive, they will need to be crated at my house. I have a 2 large crates.
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.
