A dogs best friend!

Pet care experience

Hi dog parents -- I'm a life-long dog owner and love having pups around the house but currently don't have any of my own. Would love to spend quality time with your amazing pup while you're away! I'll give them great care and attention and we'll have a great time doing it. I have a very dog friendly house with a large fully fenced in back yard and lots of grass to roll around in. While inside my house your pup will have full reign of the place during their stay. I'm located in the Windsor Park neighborhood with great streets to walk your dog and great dog-friendly parks to throw the ball! Feel free to get in touch with any questions, i'll be sure to get back to you ASAP.

Ed was awesome. I could not have asked for someone better to take care of Cash. I actually think Cash would rather stay with him than me after his stay. Any dog would be lucky to stay with Ed.

I travel quite a bit for work, and when my travel takes me out of state I know my Nico is in good hands with Ed. Nico wags his tail and wiggles around with excitement every time he sees Ed. He feels right at home at Ed's and that gives me peace of mind knowing he is in such good care. Ed is great at maintaining communication via picture updates and he goes above and beyond to let me know how Nico is doing. I book Nico's stay with Ed anytime I have a trip where I can't bring him along.

Words cannot describe how happy I am to see my little love nugget... Ed, Nico's caretaker from the Rover app, has been a blessing. He took such good care of my little guy. Traveling for work has never been easy leaving this guy behind, and moving to Austin has presented it's own set of challenges, but my main priority was to find someone I could trust to look after my handsome boy. ? I have no doubt Nico was treated just as well, if not better, while he stayed with Ed. Often times when finding a sitter, my only hope has been that he gets fed, has plenty of water, a comfortable place to sleep, on his "blanky," and gets taken out for some exercise. The pictures and the numerous updates are evident, not only that my hopes were met, but exceeded, he was very well cared for and active while I was away. This stay was like a resort vacation for Nico. My Nico is a little shy at first but a good judge of character and will Only open up to those he can trust. Once you're in, it's unconditional love. Nico and I look forward to his next stay with Ed!

Picked up my dogs this morning after a full week at Ed's. They're happy and tired - perfect! I knew they would be in good hands as soon as we stopped at Ed's for a meet and greet and they immediately took to Ed and wanted to play. With status photos throughout the week, it was nice to be away but know that my dogs were well taken care of. For all future boarding needs, my pups will be at Ed's, and I would recommend his service to anyone who asks - without hesitation. Full disclosure: I worked with Ed 10 years ago so already knew him as a great dog-loving guy - even if I hadn't seen him in several years. A great find on Rover - a nearby, reliable dog sitter that my dogs love and a reconnected friendship!
