Highlights
Pet care experience
Very good dog-sitting
I moved away from the New England area during the pandemic and came to the Midwest where I didn’t know anyone. Back home, I had friends and family begging me to go on vacation so they could dog sit my dog, but here, without knowing too many people, finding a dog sitter was a really difficult ordeal. Thankfully, Rover and other apps helped, especially when I was able to travel again. I'm looking to help out in the same way this app and others helped me. I live in a large home with my wife Kelly (can't seem to figure out how to add her name but she'll also be helping with sitting), two dog friendly cats, and a very chill dog of our own. Pearl and Boy are our orange kitties and Candy is a 55lb brown lab mix. Candy and I used to be a certified therapy animal team when we had more time on our hands. All three animals love company (mostly human company but other animals are more than welcome, too) so your pet will definitely not be alone while you're away between us five. We do have a fenced-in yard, a dog specific area over the garage and all dogs are welcome to roam the entire house - especially if you also allow that in your home. But if your animal needs their own space, they have the loft, the yard, and various dog beds to decompress throughout the house. The old owners of our home used to be dog breeders and the home came with amenities specifically catered to hosting dogs. While we don’t and won’t breed ourselves, these features of the home make a great dog-friendly home for any pet while you’re away!

Ratings and reviews
Dan was wonderful and Severus came home happy and tired. He sent photos throughout the week. Definitely would recommend! Thank you guys so much!
Dan and Kelly are wonderful and it’s evident that they love dogs! They took great care of our dog and were great at communicating! They also have an amazing fenced in backyard for dogs to play!
Dan G. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Dan and Kelly are awesome. They sent pics and updates which we loved. By the end of his 5 days Pocket got into the groove there and did great. Matter of fact he loved it so much that he was pouty the entire day after we brought him home. It is hard to leave pets. With Dan and Kelly one can relax and know all is well. Super grateful. Thank you to Dan, Kelly and the gang.
Penelope had a great time at Dan’s!! He provided awesome updates throughout her stay. Thank you Dan!
Our dog came home happy and tired! Dan was great!

Schedule
We both work full time but Kelly is home three days a week and I’m home the other two. Typically my day revolves around when I should take the dogs out anyway. Usually one walk around 7am, another around noon, another around 5 when I get back and one before bed.

Safety, trust & environment
How we care for your pet will be completely up to you and how you normally care for them. The goal is to keep the disruption of a routine to a minimum while treating your dog to a change of scenery and a new friend
Pets
A typical day
Three walks a day at a minimum, hiking, cross country skiing, beach, dog park (if allowed by owners) and so many dog toys. We got a bark box subscription and Candy doesn't play with all of the toys
