Pet care experience

My family and I are dedicated and experienced dog lovers who are committed to providing top-notch care for your pup. I grew up living with and caring for my dog, Sonny, since I was 7. He recently passed of old age and my parents and I have been lonely without him here. What sets us apart from other sitters is that it is truly a family affair and we all take care of your pup just as if they were our own. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs special attention, we have the skills and experience to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. Additionally, I am a great communicator and always keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. With me and my family as your dog sitters, you can trust that your pup is in capable and caring hands. My family is very involved - my parents have flexible work schedules and between all of us there is always the best coverage for your pup, even if I have to go into the city on certain days for my job. My parents also love stepping in for dog walks! I started my Rover account about a year ago and it it has been so great - dogs bring joy to our family and my parents have become a big part of it, even when my schedule gets busy with work they are always there to step in!

Great stay with Dan and family. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in good hands while I’m away.

Dan and family were wonderful with our terrier. She has some quirks and needs oral medication and they handled it well. We are planning more stays with them. Our dog came home healthy and happy and probably misses them!

My husband and I felt so at ease with Stella in the care of Dan and his family. We got regular updates, pictures, and assurances she was doing well AND they worked on socializing her (something we’ve been struggling with, with two under two at home 👶🏻) Stella was actually a little sad to leave her new boyfriend, and has appeared so docile and calm since we’ve had her back. It’s been incredible watching her transition back to us after 9 days away 😍
