Information John B. would like to know about your pet

When you come, just please bring their bed or blanket, their food, supplements, medicines, no bowls are needed as we have plenty, toys if you desire, and of course your wonderful, beautiful Furbabies. If your dog likes to be in a crate at night, no need to bring one since we have 2.

A typical day

We let the dogs out almost hourly, and we have a doggie door going to our half acre fenced in backyard if they need more. We feed them separately and they sleep in our house. We place Apple tile trackers on the dogs collars as soon as they arrive just in case they should slip out the door which has never happened by the way.

Absolutely fantastic! John and Zena took excellent care of Fergus. John is a real animal lover and I felt very comfortable to leave Fergus with him. I loved the daily check-ins with news on how Fergus was bonding with John 😊. Fergus had an amazing time and we will definitely be relying on John and Zena when we go out of town again!

This was the first time we had left our 3 year husky and our 17 month old husky with anyone. I was nervous. John set my mind at ease. He is very knowledgeable on caring for animals. I appreciated the fact he sent us videos, pictures and updates and responded to all my texts in a timely manner. We will be using him again and we highly recommend him.

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.
