Shantay, your dog stays!

Hello, Rover world! My name is Gerardo, and I am the proud human to Elle and Tayter Dot. I am here to find fun playmates for my girls by hosting your pets. Since I'm already a dog parent, I'm already doing the dog routine - feeding, walking, playing, etc. Adding your pup to the routine will be pretty natural as a result. Hubs and I work from home, so we are actively spending time with your dog no matter what! We ask that your pet be housebroken. If they have a crate, we can add that to our routine, though our girls have full reign of the house. (It's their house, I just live in it.) Your pet can expect fresh water, a clean home, a yard to run in, and lots of treats. (Maybe also a weird dog voice...sorry not sorry!) For the safety of all involved, we require a meet and greet as it is our best way to vet how your dog will get along with ours.

Rue had another great visit to Gerardo's! It's such peace of mind knowing she's so well taken care of. Gerardo is great about communication and sending pictures!

10/10 in all aspects. Was my first time using Rover and my experience far exceeded any and all expectations. Gerardo was highly thorough, responsible, accommodating, and responsive.

Rue had an amazing time playing with Gerardo's 2 dogs in their fenced-in backyard. She got to go on lots of walks and even to dog parks. Gerardo and his family seem to be so loving and engaging with the dogs, and I know our pup can't wait to get back. We were particularly impressed with the level of communication with us. We got great daily updates with lots of pictures.

Gerardo was great! He sent lots of updates and pictures. He was very communicative and our dog was very loved and taken care of when he was there. He did great giving all of the meds needed. I would definitely recommend leaving your dog with Gerardo.

Safety, trust & environment

My spouse and I are attentive to the needs of our girls, and will treat your dog like one of our own. You can expect your dog to be loved on, with lots of fetch in the yard, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats for all. We also both work from home so your dog will have human and canine company through their visit.
