Information David & Mary R. would like to know about your pet

We like to know how and when your pets like to be fed, given treats and what helps them relax. We like lap dogs and ones who enjoy quieter times in the evening when we can relax with them.

A typical day

We have a fenced backyard for 'fetch' and I like to take walks in our neighborhood and let them explore the sights and smells. There are two parks within easy walking distance.

We've had three dogs since our kids were old enough. We've raised and trained pups and provided medicine to our dogs when they were sick. We like to walk them and let them out as much as possible (fenced yard, private home).

Moki loved his time with David and Mary. He has got comfortable with them really quick. This is the second time they have sat Moki and he was really happy too see them again.

David & Mary are the best!!! They took the best care of my dog, Fry, while we were out of town. They are kind, communicative, and flexible - thank you so much!

Moki had a pleasant time his first night stay at Mary and David's. Our pup can be a little shy to warm up and he got comfortable pretty quickly. He has a preference for calm/gentle people and he fit right in and David and Mary's. They have excellent communication skills and kept us up to date on Moki's visit. We are very thankful to have found a new sitter for our senior dog and plan to have Moki stay with them again. Thanks!

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.
