Pet care experience

Loving dog sitters!

Townhouse 5 minutes from DSM airport. We are an active couple who loves outside time and walks! We currently don’t have our own pets (many family pets pictured which we watch often) so trying to get our animal snuggles in with your pooch! Between both of us we are working from home three days a week (m/w/f), Tuesday and Thursday Christy comes home over the lunch hour and more (if needed). Can offer potty breaks every 2 hours on WFH days and every 4 hours on in the office days.

Oakley had another great stay with Christy & Erkam. He loves going to their house and is wonderful to have people like them to count on to spoil and take care of my favorite buddy! He always comes home very content after his stay with them. Thanks guys!

Christy and Erkam were great with our dog. They send daily updates and took her for daily walks. She was very happy in their care.

They are the best! Last minute we realized we didn’t have care for our doodle when we were going out of town and they jumped in to help (as always)!

Christy & Erkam were so great. Daily pictures and updates on how our pup was doing really gave us peace of mind and let us know she was having a great time. They took the time to understand her schedule and habits which really shows just how much they care. Wouldn't hesitate to have them watch our girl again!

We are up early so will do a morning walk. The dogs are welcome to hang out on the couch or bed with us but happy to have them sleep in their kennel if they prefer. We are mostly home in the evenings.

Please let us know what pertinent information you have on your dog. Please let us know if the dog has been aggressive with other dogs as we do have other dogs who live close by so may see on walks. We do our best to avoid any dog we pass as we will not risk a new dog interaction but we cannot promise the other owner will do the same. We give absolutely no table scraps or human food so please bring plenty of their food from home and treats to help them feel comfortable.
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.
