Couch cuddles & park walks!
Pet care experience
Hello! We are the Rover duo, Heather and Tim. As part of your pet's stay with us, we can send you daily photos/videos so you know they are safe and sound, and having a great time. We would take care of your furry family members just like we would our own :) When available, we offer boarding in our home or yours, doggie daycare and dog walks. Weekday dog walks typically need to be walking distance to our apartment at Villages of Decoverly. We also only take pets from the same family at a time, so your pup(s) will get all the attention. Our apartment complex has some (generally) larger breed restrictions which unfortunately includes pitbulls, american bull dogs, akitas, dalmations, boxers, basset hounds, mastiffs. Full list forthcoming, but feel free to message if you have questions and we can chat. Also, my husband (Tim) does the walks for any larger pups that we sit for their safety and mine (Heather’s). Pets over 50lbs or so would need to be comfortable being walked by men.
Reviews
This was our first time ever using Rover and Heather and Tim. They were great in helping us navigate Rover and the communication about our dog’s stay with them ahead of time. During the stay, they were great in providing daily feedback and pictures, which was so appreciated! They made us feel totally confident in leaving our pup with them and we plan to use them again in the future! Thanks, Heather and Tim!
Heather and Tim are the best!! Oscar has a great time with them!
Tim and Heather were amazing! Moving to a new place, we were nervous finding a new sitter for our ten year old pug who gets nervous in new places. Tim and Heather were so accommodating, picking him up, letting him sleep in their bed, sending lots of photos and giving him so much love. They made us feel so comfortable leaving our pug-child for the night and were sure Oscar is looking forward to his next sleepover with them!
The dogs had a great time and so did my wife and I knowing that they were in good hands. When we got them home Hannah and Enzo curled up in their beds and took a long nap! The obviously were well cared for

Home
Information Heather J. would like to know about your pet
- Does your dog bark frequently? We are in an apartment, so excessive barking would be an issue for our neighbors. - Is your pet food/treat aggressive? - Any medications or things to look out for?
A typical day
Lots of walks and playtimes! We sometimes go to local dog parks or just use the fenced dog run at our complex, which we'd be happy to share with your pup (if you wish). We also love hanging around at home and providing lots of couch snuggles (or couch-adjacent snuggles, if you dont permit your pet on furniture).

We are comfortable with puppies and seniors, as well as giving oral medications and eye drops too. Just let us know what you need. We try to keep pups on a similar schedule when they’re with us that they have at home.
