Pet care experience

Looking to love your pet!

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).

Thanks so much for taking such good care of our girl Dixie! Thanks for sending photos too! Would be happy to have Dixie stay at your place again.

Dave and Mary were amazing to our pups. They were very flexible when our flight was delayed and one of the pups needed extra medicine during our absence. Their communication and pics were very reassuring and almost daily. Couldn't have left my dogs with anyone better. Awesome experience. Will use again for sure!

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!

Schedule

When I'm not traveling (we don't like to accept boarding when I am), I work from home and can provide daily walks and short intervals. Your pet will have company all day long and is welcome to hang out in my home office.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a single-family home with a fenced back yard in a quiet neighborhood. If we do leave your pet alone, we can gate them into the large kitchen/family room area (unless you prefer crating them), so that they won't be too confined.

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
David & Mary can host up to 2 pets per night
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.
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.
