Pawesome adventures await!
Pet care experience
Thanks for checking out my Rover page! My name is Ed, and for as long as I can remember, I have had a deep love and respect for animals and nature. I rise early and like to be on a hiking trail by 8am. Cat naps are great after that. This is what I do, so pet care fits into my daily routine. I will care for your pets with love and patience. Dogs and puppies, incuded in your booking are two daily hikes. ($60 value) I run hikes five days a week, in addition to boarding. I am lucky enough to work mostly from home and live in a great neighborhood. Your fur baby will love it here. I welcome any kisser, jumper, barker, cuddler, and sock thief. Doggie Landscaping isn't tolerated. You will receive quality photos and video. I generally do not board more than two dogs a night. Before trying to book, please note some of the following: -Please be specific about your pick up and drop off times with your boarding request. -Check-in here generally begins at noon. Exceptions may be made per request. -Check-out time is strict. My schedule is extremely tight. NO EXCEPTIONS. -Short hair, puppies, and older dogs, please supply a jacket or sweater in these temps.
Reviews
Great communication and always sent photos.
Ed is wonderful with Nina. She is a high energy dog with homebody tendencies but she loves to visit and spend time with him. He takes great care of our dog and we never have to worry about her.
Ed was great with our dog Dash! He took him on adventure after adventure and Dash has come back happy, healthy, and exhausted. I honestly think he had more fun than we did on our vacation! We will definitely be contacting Ed again.
Ed was quick in communicating, and our pup came back after 3 nights of doggie-sitting very happy. We loved the pics, too! We will certainly be back.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Like they are my own. Always saftey first. Nothing harmful accessible. Clean feeding area. Hikes, fresh water, trips to the dog park, treats, play time, and clean towels for towel time. There really is no unsupervised time at my house. Most times they are so tired when we return they just want to rest. Cats, plenty of toys, treats, and a super clean litter box. A clean feeding area with fresh water, and as a bonus, lots of cuddles and a kitty tower! Due to safety, I do not board cats and dogs at the same time.

Information Ed R. would like to know about your pet
Any dietary, health, or behavior issues. I have no preference on breed. If there is a style of obedience you are using, it should be communicated and sent in email/text form for easy access.
A typical day
I hike the Fells, Horn Pond, Wright's Tower, Whipple Hill, Wedge Pond, Marry Cummings and more. If your dog has great recall, we are headed straight to the great outdoors. I am big on fetch. Frisbee, chuck-it, or anything they can run after. At the house I have plays toys, and active toys, such as treat finders and Kongs.

Availability
My schedule is already on puppy/kitty time. Hikes, drop-ins, medications, feedings, kitty litter, play dates. I do it all. Two days a week I coach baseball at an indoor facility. Other than that, I plan the rest of my schedule around your pets.
