Information Chris A. would like to know about your pet

I try to always meet with anyone interested in boarding their dog ahead of time at my home to get the dog familiarized with myself, family, and the house itself. This is a great time to learn about the dog and how to best take care of him or her during the stay.

A typical day

We often take the dogs we board on car trips to nearby parks and trails. The area around my house has plenty of open areas and sidewalks for neighborhood walks. We have a fenced in back yard for exercise and potty breaks (your dog will never be left unattended at any time).

Pet care experience

My family and I started using Rover in 2018 when our 17-year-old dog, Faith, needed to be watched during the day. Rover helped make our last months with her a little easier and less stressful until she passed away in early 2019. I began to work with Rover myself in 2020 while I teleworked for two years because of the pandemic. Since then, my family and I have welcomed dozens of dogs into our home. Over a year ago, we relocated to Ranson, West Virginia from Fairfax, Virginia and two of our clients often still travel to our new home for us to board their dogs. I am still working full-time but my parents, Carla and Rob, have been providing great service during the day. We only look after one dog at a time, and someone is always with them so you can rest assured that your dog will get the love, care, and undivided attention that he or she deserves. We love all kinds of dogs and will look after yours like it was our own! In fact, this past April my family and I adopted Milo from a family who used to board him with us. They could no longer give him the attention he needed so they reached out to us to make him a part of our family.

Chris and his parents did an awesome job with Rocky on his first stay with them! We felt like they listened to us and our requests (like petting Rocky under the chin instead of on his back where he is more reactive), and Rocky seemed to settle in easily. He got along great with their little Milo, and we will definilty be visiting them again in the future!.

Chris and his family are genuinely excellent, just like always. They feel like our family friends now, and we never worry for a second when we drop off our baby boy. Carla and Rob are such kind and amazing people; words can't fully express how wonderful they are. They take care of Snuggle as if he were their own baby. Snuggle’s best friend, Milo, loves playing with him and accompanying him throughout his entire trip.

Chris and his family are always excellent. We love leaving our baby boy with them; they feel like family. It's another home for him to enjoy and snuggle in. We are grateful to Chris, Rob, Carla, and their new social kid, Milo, for making it such a wonderful place for our baby Boy to spend time and have fun. Thank you all for the warmth and care!

Chris and his parents were great! Such loving dog people who went above and beyond! They sent me frequent updates with pics and even sent him home with gifts and treats! Mojo seemed very happy and comfortable there :)

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.
