I am a work from home professional in her late thirties who LOVES dogs (more than people sometimes, if I'm being honest ;) I lost my own dog, Goose, to a brain tumor a in 2017 and started doing Rover later that year to keep me connected to our furry friends when I wasn't yet ready to get my own dog again due to travel and heartache. Fast forward 6 years and I am still doing Rover as well as running my own dog sitting business with private clients as well as those that I find through the app. I work from home full time (9am - 6pm Monday through Friday) so I am normally working from my home or from wherever I am dog sitting at the time. In a recent life change I also adopted my own rescue dog that is EXCELLENT with other dogs, kids and cats! She is an 8-year old Shephard/Cattle dog mix that loves to snuggle, play and of course, TREATS! Due to the new addition to my pack, I am still available for in-home stays and since my partner lives with me, I don't always have to bring her along but there may be times when this might need to be an option and we are happy to discuss that depending on your own dog-care needs and comfort level. My partner Kyle also sits for Rover and has had several clients of his own, so if you have multiple dogs or if you have a long stay (7+ days) there is the opportunity to have us both sit for you and create a rotation so your pet is never alone too long. We have found this works well with clients with multiple dogs as well or for clients who want to make sure that someone is with their animal most of the time (for health or anxiety reasons for example) as there are times during a longer stay where I would need to take care of personal business, need a break for a couple of hours, etc. - this is something we can discuss in detail during our initial conversations or meet and greet depending on your needs :) I am open to staying with cats, but I do have an allergy that while manageable, gets worse if there is more than 1 cat in the home or with log haired cats that love affection so I prefer not to stay overnight in a home with more than 1 cat. DOGGY DAY CARE AND BOARDING: This is a new offering since I just moved to a place where dogs are allowed and at this time, can only take care of 1 dog in my home/day as I also have Bubbles, my rescue, in the home. We have an unfenced yard but I have dog runs set up as well as in-ground chains to keep your dog safe and I often take daytime walks during work breaks for Bubbles so this would be the case with your furry friend as well <3 All that being said, I hope I have the opportunity to meet you and your dog-child(ren) and if you have any questions around my experience, requirements or if you're just curious if we would be a good fit please reach out and I'd be happy to chat further!
