Safety, trust & environment

We currently have no other pets after our sweet dog passed away a year ago. We miss having a dog in our home but aren’t ready for a new permanent pup so Rover seemed like a wonderful idea for our family. Your dog will be treated as our own with our girls being able to play with your pup in our fenced back yard.

Information Emily & Michael S. would like to know about your pet

Our only request is that your dog is not fearful of children. Our kids love to play and are careful around dogs and do know what they are and are not allowed to do around dogs, but we do still want to ensure that your pup enjoys children as well!

A typical day

Our kids love to play with the dogs that we have watched in the past. A typical day would consist of walks in the neighborhood, playing in our back yard, and relaxing at home. Since we work from home, your dog will have company most of the day

Dog loving family

Pet care experience

I have spent my whole life around dogs. My dad was a dog trainer in Alaska so I was able to learn a lot from him over the years. Since then my family has had our own dog which sadly passed away a year ago after 12 sweet years together. We have dog sat for friends and family over the years as our home makes a great space for dog sitting, but have not professionally dog sat before until now.

Mousse had the best time with Emily and Michael. They sent daily pictures of him and gave us such comfort knowing he was taken such good care of while we were away. They played ball with him, walked him and have him lots of attention. We will definitely book with them again.

She came in last minute and took excellent care of my baby girl! Even brought children to play with her which autumn absolutely loves. Dependable, professional kind and I would highly recommend her.

Our dog had never stayed with someone else, and she is a clinger to us, so we were not sure how well she would do. Emily and Tyon took such incredible care of her- she felt right at home playing ball with the kids, cuddling on the couch, and going for walks. We would absolutely use their services again in the future! I can’t recommend them enough :)

Emily has been a true gem to find! We have a beautiful Siberian husky who, like others of her breed, is infamous for trying to escape but also the absolute most lovable creature you could imagine. Emily has watched our Kaia at least four times and we wouldn’t trust anyone else to keep her contained and loved on at the same time haha. Emily is reliable, always on time, trustworthy, clean and you can tell that she truly has a passion for what she does. Don’t hesitate to book her!
