Home full-time, large enclosed yard

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Gary and I have been a pet owner my whole life, and a dog owner for over 18 years. I have also been a sitter for Rover for 8 years now. Up until 01/01/2018 I lived with my amazingly sweet pup Clover who had been with me since I rescued her in 2006. We had been together ever since, living with multiple dog, cats and small pets in that time. I learned about Rover by helping a friend take her boarded dogs on hikes and walks, as well as have them over to play with Clover often. Clover since then had been the Ambassador here, showing the new dogs love and enjoying her returning friends. Dogs have become such a huge part of my life now and even with Clover gone I am blessed to have so much love here from all the new furry friends I have made and amazing dogs I continue to meet. Your dog(s) will have full access to our beautiful home, including the 2000sqft securely enclosed backyard with shade trees for activity or relaxing! A typical day would consist of lounging inside, playing ball and activities in the large yard, and multiple walks through the surrounding neighborhoods and parks. Each night the dogs are welcome to sleep on beds, couch or freshly cleaned plush blankets! I work from home and will be able to be attentive to your pets needs 24/7 and show them the love and care they need while you are away on business or leisure! Notes: I do not take any aggressive dogs(breed not an issue, just behavior) in to make sure all visitors are safe and comfortable. All dogs will be on a leash when leaving the house or gated yard for walks, please provide one for each dog.

I had something come up last minute and Gary was super accommodating and communicative which made things easy and stress free for me! He was also flexible and great with both of my pups which I truly appreciated! Would def recommend him for your pup care needs!

A typical day

We start daycare at about 7:30am each morning. Dogs are taken to potty either out back or on a walk if they prefer. All dogs are separated for their breakfast. We then have activities and playtime until the afternoon nap. Evenings are similar in that the dogs are taken to potty and then fed in separate rooms. At night the dogs sleep in the many dog beds, soft chairs or bed.
