Activity Based Daycare & Boarding

Pet care experience

I worked many years in the vet industry before offering FT activity based doggie daycare and boarding services. Dogs are not kenneled or left alone. Day of activities included (dog park, walks, hikes). Pickup and drop-off also included. Photos and updates gladly sent upon request. Socialized dogs preferred. About this sitter: I have worked in veterinary industry for 8 years. All my clients have been repeat customers. I do this FT so dogs are not left alone. Regular photos and updates. Responsible/punctual/college grad. Meet my pets Our house is in a quiet neighborhood on a no outlet street so traffic is minimal. The house is 3 bed, 2 bath, that is pet-friendly with doggy blankets over couches (if you allow your dog on the couch, if not the 'off the couch' rule will be enforced), dog beds, large deck, with 1/3 acre fenced back yard. We also have a few extra large dog crates but only use them if requested. We also have a tub setup for baths (if needed - I never return your dog muddy or dirty).

Today was my dog's first actual visit, after a brief evaluation visit, which I believe he remembered based on his *very* excited behavior when we pulled in. When I picked him up, he was super happy, ready to rest in the car, and had obviously had a great day. Jennifer sent photos of his walk and an update. I feel totally confident bringing him back, that he'll be safe and well taken care of.

She was very flexible and understanding when our flight was delayed and we had to change our pick up time. She sent daily photos and took the dogs on regular walks. A great experience!! So grateful.

Jennifer and Jon were great. Short notice didn’t phase them and our dog had a good time. We had a meet and greet and brief play date, to start with, which helped with the transition. Thanks again

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.
