Your pet's home away from home!

I'm a huge pet lover of dogs and cats alike. I've done pet sitting since I was 12. I've also had seven much-loved and missed dogs and cats of my own over my lifetime. I currently have no pets. I kept my own pets clean, brushed, well-fed, played with, exercised, and received much love and devotion in return.

This was Tink’s second stay and it was just as great as her first! Connie was awesome with sending daily updates including pics and video, often with funny commentary that made it clear she’s learned your baby’s quirks and personality. I was able to enjoy my time away with no worries about how well Tink was being taken care of. Thanks Connie!!

Schedule

Being newly retired I'm very flexible and usually home all day, especially when I have a furry guest. I have lots of time to spend walking, cuddling and playing with your pet. I board only one pet at a time, so your pet gets 100% of my attention and gets treated as if he were a family member, with care, love, and kindness.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Has an unfenced yard

Safety, trust & environment

I know pet parents worry when they need to leave their pets and my goal is to reassure you that I will do anything I can to keep your pet safe, healthy, happy and comfortable while in my home. You will get daily reports and photos/videos of your dog so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing they are cared for and occupied. I live in a home with my husband on 5 acres where there is plenty to sniff and explore. When outside, your dog will be with me always and on leash. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed which have clean blankets/bedding after each pet stay.

A typical day

I take dogs for walks in our quiet subdivision, or explore the trail on our property. We have an enclosed patio and in good weather, they can join us out there for shade, an afternoon treat and fresh air. Dogs like to watch the birds at the feeder or just stretch out on a chair for a nap while I read a book. I enjoy teaching dogs tricks if they show an interest, playing dog scent games, puzzles, tossing toys and giving lots of belly rubs and petting! Whatever your pet likes doing in its own home is also my goal. If yours is a lap dog, I have one! Would they appreciate a warm blanket from the dryer before bed or ask Alexa for 15 minutes of music in bed before lights out? Just ask and I'll try to make it happen! A bored dog is an unhappy dog!

0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Connie can host up to 1 pet per night
I would like to know your pet's feeding schedule, daily routine at home, any health problem or medications it requires, likes and dislikes, or any special quirks it has so I can keep experiences in our home closely matched to what they are used to. I require that your pet is house trained, current on vaccines and flea control to protect your pet, my home, as well as others. New clients are welcome to bring your pet for a meet and greet so we can discuss what your expectations are for your pet's care and make you and your pet feel more secure when it comes time for boarding. I sit for small dogs 20 lbs or under.
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.
