DogTrainer Sitters FT w/ Acre Yard!

If you're looking for the absolute best care for your fur baby (or babies) look no further! If you have any doubts, please check out our reviews to see what our clients are saying about us and our services. We are an experienced couple moved over from Chicago. My husband (Devin) is a seasoned retired dog trainer of 12 years (who has worked for one of the largest dog training franchises in the world). Being with and around dogs most of our lives, it has been an amazing experience for the both of us. This is why, we truly believe and treat all your pups as if they're our very own, giving them the attention and care that they deserve! We have been fortunate to make this into a full-time career hoping to eventually open up a luxury pet resort one day, and we hope to be able to bring all our clients along with us on our journey! Our home is now plotted on a gorgeous half-acre with a 13 ft fenced in yard. We have experience with dog boarding, daycare, training, and much more, working with all types of breeds and sizes with all types of temperament. We also have experience administering medications and working with any dietary needs or restrictions. We also provide a full 3 cycle bath service for a fee. We have a well trained 5 year old Doberman Pinscher that is super friendly with all animals and even critters! And a second small Miniature Pinscher that is also well socialized and loves meeting all our new "furiends ". Your pup will have plenty of space for exercise while enjoying the outdoor breeze on our patio, doggy pool during the hot summers and doggy deck! We are retired dog trainers now offering daycare and overnight boarding services in our home, we do this full time so are home with our pups often! Amenities: 13 ft fenced in yard, we have two doggy pools (one big one small), plenty of mental and physical stimulation for all our pups so they are nice and tired going back home home. Doggy beds throughout the home for use, an area of cool tiling for those hot summers, and a basket full of dog toys available for play at anytime!

Very nice and easy to communicate with. Had a great setup for the dogs and sent a lot of photos of them having fun. I will be using them again in the future.

Schedule

We do this full time, and our general routine is as follows: Wake up about 8am-9am daily, pups get a chance to go out for potty or play before breakfast feedings. After feeding is break time to let them rest their tummies before going back out for potty/play. During the day is up to your dog, if they’re a couch potato they are welcome to chill and lounge wherever they please. If they’re the active type, they will be joining us outside (weather permitting) for playtimes. We usually find ourselves going out every 1-3 hours. Whenever we notice someone hovering by the door is our cue. Dinner feedings are usually between 5-7pm depending on our day. It’ll be a rinse and repeat of outings until quiet hours by 9pm. If we are still up late (usually over the weekends) we always give everyone a chance for a last potty break before the humans go to bed. Everyone gets free roam, excluding bedrooms and the front room, so as long as no house rules are consistently broken. House rules are: No marking, No destructive behavior, and No pestering others. We try to keep everyone calm while indoors, and designate any playing for outside (or under the extended porch if weather is bad).

Safety, trust & environment

We have a 13 ft fence to safely keep anyone from jumping out. We like to keep supervision of everyone as much as possible, but will utilize crates for anyone that we couldn’t trust when eyes aren’t on them. Otherwise everyone has free roam, except our bedrooms. We have plenty of dog beds, cool tiles to lay on and plenty of space for your pup to pick a spot and lounge if they please 🐶

Please have recent vet records ready as we will request those after initial communication A small side note about how we offer updates. Given the bigger group we care for, we usually are not able to give frequent photo updates (quick verbal responses are never an issue, so you’re welcome to still ask us how your pup is doing whenever you miss them, and we’ll get back at our earliest convenience ) However, official updates with photos can be anywhere from 1-3 days at most, as we take our time to curate those for each of our guests. We are very transparent with any issues/concerns throughout the stay so you will be the first to know of any issues/concerns. Otherwise, we like to let everyone know it’s a good thing if you’re not hearing from us , as it means your pups are behaving and having a blast on their vacation 😂 We are able to keep our pups safe and happy with interaction, engagement and constant supervision throughout the day as we don’t stay on our phones and keep our pups and their needs as a top priority around here 🥰 so we ask for everyone’s patience as we are able to get photo updates out 🐶
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
