Pet care experience

Fenced in yard for dogs to play.

I have a 5 yr old golden retriever and help out friends and family watching their dogs. My dog Walter is always happier when he has a friend to play with outside, so i am on rover to give him the opportunity for more play dates, and to meet new friends. I will not be putting and pets in crates or fenced in areas, other then my back yard throughout their stay. "unless requested" I would prefer not using a crate and would ask for friendly other dogs that would get along with my dog, as to ensure a welcoming and home setting for every dog staying with me. I work from 7am until 3:30 pm weekdays but come home for lunch to let the dogs outside and play. Any other accommodations or services i can help with, i am sure can be reached. Thanks

Jake has a wonderful space for dogs with a great fenced in backyard. His dog, Walter is very sweet. We are glad to have found Jake and Walter!

Jake clearly knows dogs! He was respectful and flexible. He worked with our anxious dog and gave love to our people loving dog. I would definitely recommend him!

Jake was great! Our pup can be a little anxious but he did great with Walter, Jake's golden. Won't hesitate to use him again.
