Unleashing the Difference

Pet care experience

Unleashing the Difference: How My Dog Sitting Services Stand Out from the Pack. I get the privilege to work from home so flexibility in schedule and I owned two dogs (shiba inu and boxer/beagle) for more than 16 yrs. Both went over the rainbow bridge which is why we started hosting on Rover. I’m looking to take care of other people’s dogs because we all know how hard it is to get good care for our furry family members. Open sleeping provided as dogs are allowed on beds and furniture at leisure. We look forward to hosting your dog at our home.

Doug and his fiancé were fantastic. Kept us updated with photos and short comments, we were able to have a nice relaxing getaway without worrying about our beloved pet, Lion. Will definitely use them again if they are available for our next getaway. Highly recommend. Thanks Doug… Tim.

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.
