Safety, trust & environment

At my home, dogs have plenty of space to play and relax. I have a fully fenced backyard where they can run around freely and safely. I also give them daily walks for exercise and a change of scenery. When it’s time to rest, they have their own private crate to unwind and feel comfortable.

Information john B. would like to know about your pet

A letter describing care instructions of your little buddy would be very helpful. Any special requirements I would love to know ahead of time to make sure your buddy has the best experience possible.

A typical day

I have a big, safe fenced yard where your pup can run, sniff, and play to their heart’s content (as long as the weather's nice!). There’s always time for belly rubs, fetch, and cozy snuggles on the couch. We’ll take daily walks around the neighborhood or to nearby Pulpit Rock (back of our house) always on leash and full of sniffing adventures. Most of all, I just love dogs. I have had them all my life, and they always bring me joy. I'm calm, kind, and give lots (and lots) of cuddles, love, and attention. Your pup will be treated like family because that is what they are.

Pawsitively the Best Pup Care

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my whole life and honestly can’t imagine a day without them. I learned that dogs are excellent for healing in that they will love you no matter what and never leave you. Because of this I know your pup is probably precious to you as ours is to us. I work from home, so your pup will get tons of attention, walks, and playtime. I’m great with puppies and gentle with seniors—whatever they need, I’m there.

We were traveling through Colorado Springs & needed a last minute sitter so we could take the train up Pikes Peak. Because of John’s great reviews, I contacted him the afternoon before & John said he was available. He took great care of Harley & sent pictures & a video. I really appreciate John being willing to take Harley on such short notice. Rover is a great app - especially while traveling.

Great experience. John was wonderful. Enzo was nervous the first day but when he went back for the second day he was calm and went right into the house.

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.
