Rover Full-time. I love dogs & cats
Pet care experience
I love having dogs around at my home and getting to hang out with them! My husky, Glacier, loves meeting new dog friends and playing with them. He is also friendly with cats. I have 6 cats, so I'm very experienced with cat care. I've had at least 1 cat ever since I was a kid. I love them dearly! I've been doing business through Rover since 2018, and I have loved every minute of it! I have met many different animals and their humans throughout this time. I have learned so much and I love sharing my knowledge with my clients and fellow pet lovers! I have been caring for animals all my life including dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, birds, etc. I have experience giving dogs and cats pills and oral medication. I also know how to inject insulin.
Reviews
Jason was wonderful! Super communicative and happy to manage a little bit of a tricky pickup since our pup was staying with a friend. He sent photos, and was great with our dog and with our human friend!
Super communicative. Always shares great photos of her playing 🙃
Jason was the best! We had to make a last minute trip, and Jason was more than happy to accomodate us. Meech loved him, he didn’t want to leave lol. Jason sent pictures throughout his entire stay, which made us feel super comfortable. I was also excited that Meech got to meet and play with new friends while there. I will gladly have Jason keep our pup anytime we have a need from here on! Don’t look any further, you’ll be completely satisfied
Appears to be an animal whisperer. Good presence. Highly recommend

I have a large, open space inside my home for the pups I board and host daycare to run around, wrestle and have the time of their lives! I have a beautiful yard with a 40"(3 foot) fence, so they will always have somewhere to potty. There is also Rita's Ranch down the street that I can take your pup to (if they have dog park tags)! The cats have their own cat room where their litter boxes, food bowls, toys, and a cat tree are. No dog is allowed in here, so it acts as a safe space for them and any visiting kitty. I have several cat trees throughout the house for kitties to lounge on. I ONLY accept cat-friendly dogs. The dogs will ALWAYS be supervised around the cats, so accidents and injuries are less likely to happen.

Information Jason W. would like to know about your pet
Please note: I prefer all dogs to be kennel trained. I kennel at bedtime and when I'm not home. My community does not allow for any extreme, excessive barking. The type of barking that just won't stop. Please contact me if you are unsure. **I require that your dog be dog friendly as I allow all dogs in my care to play with each other.** Other things that I want to know(and will ask about during meet and greet): - Escape risk - When/how much food to give - Kennel trained - Any allergies, medications (current/recent past), and medical conditions (current/recent past) - Destructive with anything? ie: shoes, remotes, plants, furniture... - Potty trained - Who is their vet - Are they cat friendly - Fully vaccinated and flea and tick prevention - Any toy/food aggression? (or any other aggression)
A typical day
I have a ton of stuffable Kong toys, rawhide treats, and other non-plush toys that dogs will be able to enjoy during their stay. Any cats that visit can mingle with my cats and roam the house whenever they like. I love taking any dogs in my care to Rita's Ranch dog park and watching them run around and play with the other dogs (must have current dog park tags).

Availability
I do Rover full time and I pride myself on being very flexible! I understand many dogs have routines, and I'd do my best to keep to their schedule as well as yours as close as possible. This could also include any dog rules they may have such as sitting at the door or staying off the furniture.
