Worry-free pet vacation with me

I am a professional father of three kids with plenty of patience. I have owned several dogs (both big and small) during my life. Currently I do not own my own animal (we had to put our Lab of 12 years down for mouth cancer a few years ago) but Rover has been a great way to meet many different kinds of dogs and dog personalities. I grew up owning Yorkies, have owned a Lab & a Shepard (for a period at the same time) and have met lots of different dogs through a full year of being a Rover sitter. I enjoy hiking and stay fairly active so am happy to help wear out your dog on a walk. I own my own home, have a crate in my house available for use, and have a fenced-in yard. I only host only one dog at a time but can handle multiple dogs if they’re from the same family. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s).

My dog has strong separation anxiety and I appreciate that Dave was forthright about how she was doing on a daily basis. He seemed attentive, was responsive, and provided updates with photos.

It’s so hard to leave a dog tha is like another family member with someone you don’t know but I knew Cece would be in great hands from the time we had the meet and greet. So thankful to have found someone so responsible and knowledgable.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a private fenced in yard that looks out onto a green space in a fairly quiet neighborhood. The back porch is covered and has a fan. My downstairs areas mostly have tile floors (little carpeting).

A typical day

I live in a very walkable subdivision with plenty of hills. There is a park about four blocks from my house where we can walk to and hang out.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. Since I only sit one dog at a time, I am generally able to accommodate any eccentricities your pet may have.
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.
