Play Fetch, go for a Walk and Chill

Hi there. I'm BACK on Rover again! Let your pooch play and relax in my fenced-in back yard while you're away. I have owned a few dogs over the years (but none currently). I have a Nice home, with a nice fenced backyard. There's plenty of room to play fetch, and other stuff. Your dog can Chill in the shade of a tree, or Cozy-up on a couch inside. I live on a quiet street, in a nice neighborhood of SW county (in Roanoke). Since I enjoy dogs, I enjoy having one stay here occasionally. It's a 'win-win' situation. I'm sure that your dog will enjoy it here. Your doggie & I can also take walks around my neighborhood, if your dog can handle it. :) So Bring That Leash.!! And for the Owners; please keep straight-forward with your Time frames & Billing, to keep it all correct. Extra boarding time periods can be generally accommodated & billed accordingly (through an extra Doggie Day Care fee, if necessary). *Don't Forget The Doggie Bed and/or Crate.!!!

David does a great job with Honey! He makes sure she gets her daily walks and I get daily updates. She loves being there and didn’t want to leave!

David was great! He sent updates daily and was super flexible when my flight was delayed. Honey seemed to love their walks and hanging out in his backyard.

Trooper had an awesome stay with David! I received daily updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear Trooper enjoyed the long walks, plenty of attention, and excellent care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with David again in the future!

Gus was well taken care of with lots of long walks, David gave great updates. Would love to have him watch Gus again.

We highly recommend David! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous about leaving our dog, Olive, for a whole week with someone we didn't know. After meeting David, our fears dissipated and we felt pretty confident that Olive would enjoy her stay. David has a calm, gentle demeanor, and Olive seemed relaxed around him from the beginning. We enjoyed the daily pictures of Olive that he texted to us. We will definitely ask David again if we need someone to watch our dog!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard, with plenty of room to run & sniff & explore. I live in a nice neighborhood in S.W. County of Roanoke. So walks can be taken on quiet streets as well.

A typical day

Dogs should arrive with a leash, and I happily take them for walks around my neighborhood. Depending on the length of stay (and their abilities), we may take a short Hike too.

While large dogs are OK, I do not want a dog that is Huge in my house. No huge Bullmastiff types. I would prefer a dog that isn't going to Dig under my fence, or chew indiscriminately through the furniture in my house. :) Normal Stuff, I think. **Important** If you plan to drop off your doggie in the Morning, and then don't plan to pick up your dog until the evening/night of the Following Day.....Then request a TWO (2) 'night' stay. Because, Realistically, I would be watching your dog for those Two Full days that way. So please be clear & be Fair in your requests and time-frames. Sometimes, we may wish to just tack-on an additional "Doggie Day Care" fee, to cover the overages / the late pick-ups and stuff like that. I do realize traveling & pick-up times are sometimes hard to predict - so this allows the owner greater flexibility as well, when necessary.
