Pet care experience

Excited to host your furry friend!

Our family and I have lived with and cared for cats and dogs for most of our lives. We raised a beautiful pit bull rescue for 14 years and last year, we had to say goodbye to our baby Sugar! Rover allows us to love your family pet as our own, for a day, a weekend, or longer! We are comfortable and can accommodate pups of all sizes, from small dogs, puppies, elderly dogs, special needs animals, and larger breeds.

Did a great job watching over our golden retriever Daisey, picked her up and she was happy and very well cared for. Communication was great, will not hesitate to book again.

We had a very pleasant experience with Dawn! My dog is very anxious so I was worried how he would take spending the night at a stranger’s house. But everything went smoothly, and I can’t be more grateful for this family and the attention they gave. Thanks!!!

Dogs were very happy and enjoyed their stay. They seemed well adjusted and eased back into home life. We are very pleased with Dawn with the care given and the attention the kids gave (they miss the kids!) Many thanks,

Dawn is an excellent sitter for Peanut, he is always happy to see her and he loves the fenced in yard - something he doesn’t have at home!

Just had our pup there for the afternoon. He was very comfortable and relaxed when we got back. Great Job Dawn!

My pup loves her time at Dawn's house--the fenced backyard to run around in plus getting to play with children are both such treats. Dawn is a great communicator, kind, flexible and has often been able to help me out on short notice. I appreciate her and her family!

Schedule

My career allows me to work from home so I am available to provide attention, potty breaks, and companionship to pets in my home M-F. We live in a neighborhood and walks can easily fit into the schedule, along with playtime in our fully fenced in backyard.

Safety, trust & environment

Our home is well suited for pets and have food and water bowls, dog treats, a medium and large dog crate (available if needed), washed and sterilized toys and 2 dog clean dog beds for your pup to choose between. Dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they are most comfortable, whether it be a common area, or in a bedroom.

A typical day

Our neighborhood offers lots of places to walk - up hills, down hills, all around! Our fully fenced in backyard makes it easy to throw a ball or a frisbee around or just run back and forth and get some exercise in! The kids get home from school around 3pm so after that, there will be LOTS of "kid attention" and lots of energy will be spent!
