Dog Care is my only job. I am home all day. Some Sitters leave dogs alone while they go out and work other jobs- not in my case. Your dog will never be left alone. In the unlikely event that I do need to leave for a little bit, my husband will stay with your dog.

Pets

I ONLY BOARD ONE DOG AT A TIME

Pet care experience

Your dog will feel at home. Why?- When your dog stays with me, he/she will be the only dog in addition to my own your dog will be treated like a member of the family. I provide a dog-loving home with all the comforts. Besides me, my husband also loves dogs staying with us and gives them a lot of love, too. Your dog will have a minimum of 3 walks a day during boardings, plenty of love, playtime and be allowed on the furniture and sleep on the bed if desired. Unlike the doggie hotels or sitters who care for multiple dogs, your dog is treated like a VIP (Very Important Pup). I have had the great privilege to care for many dogs of all ages, including dogs with special needs. I have the love and patience for any dog in my care. I have a fondness for Senior Dogs.. I now have a DOG RAMP to assist those dogs who have difficulty jumping onto and off the furniture. Did I say I love dogs?!!!! I am reliable, flexible and responsible, and will give your dog the best of care. I will always do what I can to accommodate the needs of my clients. I guarantee your dog will be safe, happy and healthy and loved.

Dean took great care of Rocco while we were away for a week. Rocco has anxiety about being left and does not do well in boarding facilities. Dean's constant presence and spoiling didn't give Rocco a chance to experience anxiety. And Dean handled Rocco's other anxieties like a true pro. We appreciated Dean's daily updates and photos, they let us know that Rocco was in good hands and enjoying himself. We will definitely have Rocco stay with Dean for our future boarding needs.

Can’t thank Dean enough for such diligent caretaking for Rocky during some really challenging physical issues. Like a marathon! What a knowledgeable and loving place for him.

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.
