Who let the dogs out?

Hi, I’m Chad’s Dad. Chad is a Jack Russell terrier who loves the company of other dogs. If you need someone responsible to watch over your best friend while you are busy, consider having your dog hang out with us! Please reach out to me and we can see if your schedules align and if I am a good fit for you and your “son” or “daughter”. As a student, I have a lot of flexibility! Chad and I live in a house, with a fenced yard and easy access to outdoor areas for walks and download breaks. Your dog’s safety and well being is a top priority for me.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, fenced garage area, and plenty of safe areas to walk dogs in my neighborhood. It is helpful to bring dog bed or cage (if used) and food.

(It’s the 4th time asking Joe to take care of mocha.)Joe is great! I feel completely at ease whenever he takes care of Mocha. He always sends lots of photos and has great communication. He truly goes above and beyond—highly recommend!

Joel has been absolutely amazing with our pup, Lilo! He maintained excellent communication throughout, sending frequent updates and plenty of photos. He was attentive to every detail and incredibly flexible—he even helped with an extra walk when our flight home was delayed. Lilo was safe, happy, and well cared for under Joel’s watch. We will definitely book with him again and highly recommend his services!

I study from home most days and have a flexible schedule. I ensure dogs get adequate breaks outside and are not outside when temperatures are too high.

Please provide me with any special instructions for your dog, such as medicine. I treat them as my own and provide supervision throughout. I will send photos often throughout the day to keep you informed about your best friend.
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.
