A playful vacation for your pup!
Pet care experience
We've been long time users of Rover and finally decided to make our own hosting profile! ❤️🐶 My husband and I have both had dogs since a young age and we watch our friends dogs all the time! We love all dogs, all breeds, all sizes (they must be fully house trained) and specialize in big dogs with big energy since we're pretty active! (**Though we love tiny dogs, we typically can't take them because Oakley plays a little too rough and as a puppy, doesn't fully know the weight, strength and largeness of his body yet😔) We just moved to the Mountain View area with our Goldendoodle, Oakley Bean! We go on a minimum of 3x walks a day🐾 He is a sweetheart and extremely playful. We're really looking to provide him with some built in playmates on the dates we're in town - so we can only host playful, sweet pups! As a Rover user, we know how important it is to find the right match for you and your pup - so we do require a meet and greet with both the pup and the Pawrents 🥹We totally understand that its a big decision and have had the same thoughts ourselves when finding a sitter. We only sit a maximum of 2 pups at a time for overnights and daycare (so including Oakley, 3 dogs total in the house at any given time)🏡 - this is to ensure that all pups have a fun, great, safe time and there is more than enough love and attention to go around. We are 1000% dog lovers and are so excited to be able to hang out with your baby!! Please feel free to ask us any questions and bring any concerns up front! Your pup will have lots of fun and get lots of love! I always send TONS of pictures and videos of all the excitement📸 ! We are so excited to meet you :) We have a fenced side yard for late night bathroom breaks - it is turf and is cleaned every week. We also sometimes throw the ball back there as well :) As a note, this is note a backyard, its only about 5ft wide and 25ft long.
Reviews
Dawn and Devan were great dog sitters for my 44 lbs. Bernadoodle. They cared for my dog, Mochi, for 8 nights and sent pictures and videos daily. Mochi got the exercise she needed with the added bonus of a constant playmate in the form of their dog, Oakley. Mochi also was brushed daily which is necessary or she will get all matted. If you are looking for a dog sitter, I would highly recommend Dawn and Devan. I would not hesitate to use them again.
Dawn is so friendly and communicative. Whiskey had to best day playing with Oakley and cuddling with Dawn! I highly recommend them for any of your playful pups!
Dawn and Devan did an amazing job taking care of our pup Sadie! She sent tons of photos and videos to keep us updated on how she was doing! She played constantly with her pup Oakley and the other dogs Margo and Henry. Sadie got plenty of exercise because Dawn and Devan took her for many many long walks! I highly recommend them! Thank you both again so much and we can’t wait till next time!
Dawn and Devan are true dog people and it shows with the care they provide. As someone who is anxious to leave their pup with someone new I loved the vetting process to ensure all dogs in their care will get along and be safe while staying with them. Dawn sent endless pictures, videos, and updates of Margo while I was away and I loved seeing her have so much fun with them! Margo even had some stomach issues during her stay and Dawn kept me well informed and took amazing care of her to nurse her back to full strength. I cannot say thank you enough and if you’re lucky enough to book with them your dog is in great hands!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced side yard for some quick potty breaks (t's pretty small, so not a backyard)! Oakley will keep your pup(s) fully entertained and play to their hearts content. We do not crate Oakley; but if you need us to crate your pup we certainly can. Dogs are allowed anywhere and everywhere - we are firm believers that a dogs world is only so big, and to never restrict that world as much as we can.
Home
Information Dawn & Devan B. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know if your dog has any specific rules (no jumping on bed, no human food, no treats, etc.), any special needs/allergies or behavior concerns! Our dog is super playful, we can only accept dogs who are very dog friendly! ? We do require a few questions to be answered: • Is your pup dog friendly? • How does your dog play with larger energetic dogs? What is their play style? • Does your dog have any issues with resource guarding? • Does your dog have any aggression triggers? • How does your dog do on leash? Any triggers? • Does your dog have any separation anxiety? Specifically destruction, excessive barking/whining?
A typical day
We love going on walks all over the neighborhood and downtown Mountain View! There is minimal traffic and lots of yards to sniff. We also play fetch in the house and Oakley loves playing around with his furry friends. We do have an off leash dog park, if you're comfortable with it, we can take your pup there too - we usually go late at night when it has little to no other dogs for maximum playing time :)
Services
Dawn & Devan can host
Availability
We are currently transitioning into going back to the office. Monday and Friday I will be home all day, but 3x/week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) I may be required to go into the office for a few meetings, usually around 2hours at a time. If we do need to leave, we do separate all of the dogs and have Blink cameras up everywhere. Please let me know if you are wanting to schedule a stay during the week, and I will try to accommodate by avoiding in person meetings if possible. We do a minimum of 2 big walks per day, 1x in the AM (8am/9am) 2+ miles and 1x in the PM (630pm/730pm) 2+ miles. During the day, we will take them out on a couple of 1 mile around the block walks to stretch legs and pee.
