Pet care experience

Longtime Dog owner; Lg. Fenced Yard

I’ve cared for many of my own dogs & dogs of friends, gf’s, etc. since the late 1980s. I’m a long time dog owner and dog lover, who is also a professional and former small business owner - who is mature, responsible, and serious. On the professional side, I have a combination of organizational/business management and basic sales/marketing & customer service training.

Had a great experience with Dave! Very friendly and accommodating. Flexible on drop off/pickup times. Has crates so we didn’t have to bring ours. Dogs came home happy and tired, which is exactly what we were looking for.

Dave was a good caretaker of my dog. Sent pictures every day. My dog appeared to be happy and comfortable staying at Dave's house. I certainly will look to have Dave take care of my dog on my next vacation.

Dave was great and took care of our 1.5 yr old dog for 10 days with frequent updates and zero issues. Will definitely use again.

I can’t recommend Dave enough! I reached out with a pretty last-minute request, and he was incredibly responsive and accommodating, even making time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand so Luffy could get comfortable with him. The meet and greet immediately put me at ease, and Luffy clearly had a great time during his stay. Dave sent frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s also very clear that he’s extremely knowledgeable about dogs and genuinely takes excellent care of them. I felt completely confident knowing Luffy was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Dave again and already plan to!

Schedule

I own a single family home with a large yard. My “main job” is in tech and I work from home nearly every day. I’m minutes away from a large park as well. The pets (and people) under my care receive a lot of loving attention in a safe, higher end neighborhood.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard backing up to a very serene, wooded/natural setting with tons of trees. If needed, my home has specific crates/cages and multiple rooms, depending on what the circumstances require. However, usually most pets are allowed to roam freely throughout most of the house and yard, as long as they do not conflict with or disrupt others.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day is time spent in a mixture of indoor and outdoor environments. It could include a mixture of time spent walking/running/playing outside, playing ball or tug-of-war, just hanging out and chilling out, and so forth.

Owners are asked to please provide food for their pet(s). I do not accept dogs younger than a year old. New clients/new pets may be asked to perform a brief "play interview" to ensure compatibility. I also ask that all pet owners provide Emergency Contact Information and local Vet information. All pets must be current on their rabies shot(s), or other applicable vaccinations.
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.
