Information Dennissa & Javier S. would like to know about your pet

We pet sit for fun and because our 6 year old gentle and sweet daughter loves having small furry friends around. Because of this, we are selective about the dogs that we watch. Please note that we only accept small to medium hypoallergenic non shedding dogs due to allergy sensitivities in our home. Your dog must be on year round flea and tick treatment and up to date on vaccines. We require in person meet and greets prior to confirming bookings. We do not accept last minute; same day bookings (unless you’ve previously booked with us before). I provide photos/updates once per day, typically in the evenings. While we provide a loving and attentive environment, we’re unable to accommodate dogs with destructive tendencies, separation anxiety, incomplete house training including marking or the use of pee pads, excessive barking or whining, and seniors. I occasionally step out for errands, so we’re best suited for pups who are comfortable being alone for short periods and do not require constant 24/7 supervision. To help us best prepare for your arrival, we ask that drop-off and pick-up times be limited to a 1-hour window when submitting a booking request. We can accommodate drop offs and pickups from 9am - 9pm. For the safety and comfort of all pets in our care, please provide honest and detailed answers to the following questions when submitting your booking request: 1. Is your dog 100% house-trained including no marking and no use of pee pads? 2. Does your dog bark or whine excessively? 3. Does your dog exhibit any destructive behavioral patterns or separation anxiety? Is your dog able to be left alone for short periods of time without showing any patterns of anxiety or destructive behavior? 4. How has your dog interacted with previous sitters? 5. Is your dog aggressive towards other dogs or children? Has your dog ever bit or lunged at anyone? 6. Is your dog up to date on vaccines (including Rabies and Distemper)? 7. Is your dog on year round flea and tick preventative treatment?

A typical day

During your dog's stay with us, they can enjoy leisurely walks around our neighborhood and engaging games like fetch. Our townhome is situated at the end of no through street and is surrounded by woods which offers ample space for your dog to explore and play outside. We lead an active lifestyle and look forward to taking your dog on neighborhood adventures and walks throughout the day. Your dog will be treated like one of our own, receiving plenty of cuddles and attention. We have a sweet and gentle 6 year old daughter who adores animals and will interact kindly with your pup.

Dennissa and Javier are the best. Absolute peace of mind while Kota was there. I can tell he enjoyed his stay and was well taken care of. This was my first time having someone other than my parents/siblings/bff watch Kota so I was pretty nervous. I’m grateful now I have sitters who I can trust should I need their services again in the future. And I do plan on booking them again if they’re available. Thank you both so much!

Dennissa and Javier were the best sitters I could have ever asked for! They truly cared for my dog as if she was part of their family. I received daily updates, sometimes twice a day, keeping me well informed. It was hard to choose a Rover while my dog has some temporary medical needs (medication and limiting jumping/playing) but they were perfect hosts and provided all requested care. I would not hesitate to book with them again!
