Pet care experience

Loving your child like our own.

New to rover first time apply this at promo DALES08571 when you use us!! Chris and I strive for purrfection. We want your dogs to feel like they are at home. We don’t kennel the furbabies. They are allowed on all furniture including the beds at night, whatever makes them most comfortable. We currently have 3 dogs of our own. First, Dewey Hughes a loveable long haired dachshund mix. Second is Charlotte Binks. She is a Basenji who loves other dogs. She has a deep excited growl. Don’t be intimidated by it shes just full of excitement , love and desire to play . Third and Final is Rocky Balboa. He is our newest member, a Havanese, and bundle of joy. He has this young innocence and just wants to be everyone’s friend and play with them. We don’t leave the Furbabies alone. From doggy seat belts to dog beds in the car, we strive to always make them feel part of the family. We know how to provide diabetic injections to diabetic puppies. We also have experience with dogs who suffer from seizures. Please let us know if there are any medical conditions that requires special attention or medication. To us your Furbaby is our Furbaby . They are our children and we expect nothing but the best. We feed twice a day, we give dental treats twice a day, and treats for going bathroom outside. We offer bathing and nail grinding services for 20 $ on rover .Your furbaby isn’t just a pet. They are children that just walks on four legs. Loving your child is a full time job so we strive to provide that. One of us if not both spends the full day with the babies and provides full care for them. They are not left alone. We don't live near a main road . We are set a ways back from the main road in a quiet wooded community. They will be walked multiple times a day fed on a schedule. I use pet friendly dental hygiene products in their water and on the food to help protect the children's teeth. I love them as if they are my own.

Never used Rover before, was a little nervous leaving our dog with strangers but our worries were unfounded. We were so happy with Dale and Chris and their furry family. They took Otis in like one of their own, he had multiple walks a day and we were consistently updated on what Otis was up to with photos from morning to night. Would highly HIGHLY recommend!!! Should we ever need boarding for Otis in the future we will 100% be booking with this family. Thank-you guys SOOOOOOO much. ❤️❤️❤️

These Guys Love animals and are well trained in the care of animals, did a Incredible Job with my Boy Jackson!! Huge weight lifted off my mind knowing that I can trust them with the care of my Dog when I need someone to watch him. Please if you ever need a sitter for your Dogs give them the opportunity you will not be Sorry.

Pets

A typical day

Usually we walk around the block , go to Stover's dam , Coleman Park, Or the Lebanon trails. We play with the dogs or cuddle with them. We also look to keep them happy as can be whether its running back and forth in the yard or playing tug of war in the house.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dale can host up to 3 pets per night
No preference in breed. I would like to know any past or present medical issues to keep an eye out for. We are able to monitor and give medications also give insulin or medication by injection. We have experience with dogs that have seizure's or epilepsy. Are they house broken or pad train? What is their feeding schedule and how much do they get each meal?
