Pet care experience

My therapist has a wagging tail.

After a lifetime with dogs and usually more than one at a time and shortly after I retired from nursing our 17 year old Jack Russell and our 17 year old yorkie passed away within months of each other. I was heartbroken after their passing and someone told me about Rover so I gave it a shot. Today families are busier and sometimes your four legged family members could use an extra walk or playtime. I can walk your dog while I get my daily steps in as we walk your local neighborhood. If daycare is needed we have a nice half acre yard that has hedges over the chain link fence to keep the dogs in while not allowing passerby’s see the dogs. I have been with Rover since January 2021 and have meet so many wonderful families. I hope you find the perfect walker or sitter for your dogs.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 13, 2026

I feel so lucky to have found Chuck and Mary! I had a last minute need for a sitter for my dog, and they were willing to take him for the day. They are such kind people who clearly love animals, and they made my anxious guy feel safe and comfortable, which is such a gift. Plus their yard is the most amazing sniff park!

Always attentive to the special needs of all 3 dogs. The dogs love that Chuck not only walks them but also plays ball, keep away and gives plenty of pets and belly rubs!!

Chuck and Mary are amazing! They take such good care of my 3 dogs when I have to be out of town. Very reliable with feeding, meds, walks and outside adventures! They get so spoiled at their house!

Dog Walking • May 18, 2025

Very diligent in care of our 3 dogs and works with their individual quirks. We have one very anxious dog that he clocks miles with, a social butterfly and one senile senior barker.

Chuck loves dogs and is a good communicator. There is not a better yard for exploration and fun than Chucks yard- it’s a park! Plus he loves to take your dog on a walk. Chuck has cared for our senior Maltese several times before he passed after a stroke. I strongly recommend him.

Chuck takes amazing care of my dogs and provides them each with individual attention. He is skilled with medication management for my senior dog and dog with IBD. He is extremely responsible and adaptive to their needs. My dogs love him.

Schedule

I'm a retired nurse and at the present time we do not have a four legged family member. In January 2021 I started on Rover. The dogs I care for and their families are very important to me. As a retired couple we have become picky with who we choose and when we are available. I have been fortunate to have met so many wonderful people and seen the love they have for their dogs. We treat every dog as if they are our own because how can anyone not love a dog ? If you reach out to me and I’m not available I hope you find the right fit for your family because every dog deserves the best.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a half acre fenced yard giving your dog the room to run and wear themselves out so when you get home you have a few minutes to relax.

A typical day

Having a large yard allows your dog the opportunity to sniff, chase birds or play ball whenever they want. I like to take the dogs for a car ride to titlow park, point defiance park or chambers bay for fun walks.
