Information Dan & Jess J. would like to know about your pet

- What their temperament is like and/or if they have any behavioral quirks we should know about. Unfortunately, we cannot care for doggies with anxiety issues. - If they have any allergies and if applicable, how we can protect them from adverse reactions. - If they are currently ill in any way. - If they are taking medication that you will be having us administer, we'll want to know this in advance of the booking.

A typical day

Depends where you live, but we're happy to walk your fur baby on any of their favorite routes or we can discover new ones on our own. We'll of course also play with them and their favorite toys!

Pet care experience

Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by! We are experienced dog sitters happy to come to your home for walks, feedings or overnight stays to care for your precious pets. Over the last 6+ years, we have house-sat and cared for breeds ranging from Terriers and Pugs to Greyhounds and Retrievers. We are extremely patient, able to communicate well with all breeds and we really, really love dogs! We were both raised with dogs and cats and will have two Goldens of our own very soon, plus maybe some horses and other farm animals. Until then, we are happy that Rover gives us a platform to care for your own furry family members! Please note that it won't always be both myself and Dan coming to care for your pet together. For check-ins that aren't overnight stays, it may be the both of us or it may just be Jess. For overnight stays and as a safety precaution, it will always be the both of us. ***Unfortunately, we cannot care for doggies/kitties with anxiety issues.*** *** For Overnight Stays: *** We only wish to stay in environments that are smoke-free. Meaning, not only is it important to us that we're dog-sitting inside of a smoke-free home, it's also important to us that no one who lives there smokes as those smells tend to carry, even if smoking is done outside. If you send us an overnight stay request, please expect that we will confirm this with you.

Dan and Jess took great care of our girl! They were attentive, friendly, caring, and really thoughtful with the care they gave. Sent a lot of updates to us too! It’s great to be able to go on a trip and not have to worry about a thing. Thanks Dan and Jess!

Great hosts! They're friendly and good communicators, and they have a nice outdoor area. My dog came home healthy and happy.
