Highlights
Pet care experience
Making your pet feel right at home
My wife and I have been taking care of animals (dogs, cats, birds, lizards, guinea pigs and bunnies) since we were very young. As we get closer to retirement, we would like to spend more time doing what we love and that's caring for animals. We have well over 40 years of experience caring for animals and feel like I should have been a veterinarian. My son started a pet sitting business when he was in 7th grade and has built a strong base over the last 6 years. I thought it might be great to build it with him and sign up for Rover to assist additional people in our community. Your pet will receive all day attention as I am working from home and am here to take routine breaks for potty, walks, attention and play time. While our yard is not fenced, it is large and wooded and I spend a lot of time outside with our dog and the dogs in our care. We do go for long walks at Potters Bridge nearby along the river and in the woods and I take lots of time every day to give our guests the attention they need. Need products for your pet?

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jeff and his wife were very good with our Goldendoodle. She was quite content at there home for 2 weeks while we were away. We were a bit anxious because this was a new sitter for her. Normally our son cares for her. She seemed to do great and got along well with their dog, Copper. We received updates and pictures via text several times and that was great. Thanks for caring for our fur-baby!
Well, our stay didn’t work out, Jeff was an incredible host. He was communicative, understanding, and willing to work with us while we figured out a situation to reward our dogs. I would highly recommend him to anybody.
Very accommodating and friendly! Penny seemed to enjoy herself and was probably pretty happy to have another canine friend for a couple days. Thanks again!
We really appreciate Jeff and his family to take care of Soxx when are out of town. Soxx is most happy hanging out with them.
Jeff and his wife were very nice and did a great job
Jeff and his family were amazing with our dog Kane! We were gone for a week and I got a few check in messages, a picture, and he was always very responsive to my texts.

Schedule
With my wife working at home & me being home by noon most days, we are able to be home w/ dogs all day so they do not have to be crated, kenneled and receive a lot of attention throughout the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We do not have a fenced yard but do have a substantial dog run that we hook up to allow dogs to have a lot of exercise. Most of their exercise would be one on one with walks and play. We do have crates, but we typically do NOT crate our guests unless we are told to do so by an owner. Some owners prefer dogs crated at night, but we do not do that unless that is part of the owner's instructions. We do read the instructions for daily care closely on the Rover app to ensure that your dogs are up at the right time, fed correctly and receive medications or supplements as required. We take your instructions to heart and very seriously as this is your family member who you care for on a regular basis and we don't want to upset their schedule when they return home with you after their busy and playful stay here.
Pets
A typical day
We typically take a daily walk along the river that is 3-5 miles. The walk depends on the dog. The walk has a lot of woods and a great path with a peaceful landscape. I have walked up to 4 dogs by myself but prefer a max of three. My wife and son help when we have more than two dogs so we can make sure they all receive extra attention. We spend time in the house or yard playing with a favorite toy. Our Husky loves to play tug o war so can do that for hours with other high energy dogs. He’s also great at just chilling when dogs need a rest. We tailor our activity to tge dogs in our care
