Just like home: love and care

Pet care experience

Need a pet sitter or dog walker? Are you going on travel and can’t take your furry friend with you? Are you working and need someone to visit your dog or cat during the day? Perhaps your dog needs a daily walk, but your schedule gets in the way. My wife and I are dog (and formerly cat) owners who have recently retired. We are available to visit your dog or cat during the day and make sure they are fed, watered, and have a chance to do their “business,” and/or to take them on a walk. We love cats and dogs and we will take the time to play with them, so they feel less alone while you’re away. We understand that you want your pet to be happy, healthy, safe, and loved, and our goal is to help you feel reassured about their well-being. We have experience with puppies and kittens, as well as senior cats and dogs, and can administer medications and injections. NOTE: Every day we take our dog to a nearby park for a 60-90-minute walk. Fun walks are the recipe for a happy and well-behaved dog! If you are interested in granting your pup an interesting excursion, we would love for your dog to join us. Our dog likes company and so do we. While we do not offer boarding as a rule, if your dog is already a walking friend with ours, we will consider making an exception.

This was a first meeting with David and my dog Jax - it went OK - Jax can be a bit of a handful. David was very good and attentive to details. I think this is going to work out well. We have another short drop in visit coming up. I am very pleased with both David and the Rover.com folks!

David and Lynn are fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone looking, just not on a weekend when I need them again :) They were not intimidated about having to pill my cat which was the main reason I needed a pet sitter and were successful on each visit. I loved getting the pictures and brief updates of how my fur babies were doing while I was away. Thanks guys!!!

David and Lynn were so conscientious, kind, and detail-oriented. They seem to love their time with the dogs and genuinely care about them!

David and Lynn were exceptional dog walkers and are very detailed oriented when it came to walking our dog. They are punctual and we couldn't have chosen a better match for our dog. We will be using them again in the future as our dog loves them.

Information David & Lynn V. would like to know about your pet

We want to know about the dog's temperament, size, and gender. Is the dog socialized; engages well with other dogs, or does the dog prefer to be alone with me? What needs does the dog have of which I should be aware? Is the dog an escape artist?

A typical day

We have several local parks where we like to go dog walking. Dogs have a chance to explore, sniff, and get exercise in a very stimulating environment. We have a park within walking distance of our home. We also have other parks we are willing to drive to in order to give dogs a change of pace.
