Rover's Retreat: Your Trusted Canin
Pet care experience
As a passionate pet lover with extensive experience in caring for furry friends, I bring a wealth of expertise to pet sitting services. With two beloved dogs of my own, Beshte, a delightful Labrador/Great Dane mix, and Eevee, an energetic Whippet/Greyhound blend, I understand the unique needs and personalities of dogs of all shapes and sizes. Growing up alongside my cherished black Labrador, Two Socks, and nurturing cats Maximus and Moonie a decade ago, I've honed my skills in providing attentive, compassionate care to pets of various breeds. Rest assured, your canine companions will receive the same love, attention, and care as my own precious fur babies when entrusted to my care on Rover. Let's ensure your pets have a paws-itively delightful experience while you're away!

Safety, trust & environment
As a pet sitter, I offer both in-home pet care and care at my client's home, tailoring my services to suit the specific needs and preferences of both the pets and their owners. When caring for pets in my own home, I ensure a welcoming and comfortable environment where they can feel at ease. This includes providing cozy bedding, ample space for play and relaxation, and regular access to food and water. Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment activities are incorporated into their routine to keep them happy and stimulated. Additionally, I adhere to any dietary restrictions or medication schedules provided by the pet owners to ensure their health and well-being are maintained. For clients who prefer care in their own home, I prioritize consistency and familiarity for their pets. I follow their established routines closely, maintaining feeding schedules, exercise regimens, and any other specific instructions provided. This minimizes stress for the pets by keeping them in a familiar environment and helps them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Regular updates and communication with the owners ensure peace of mind and allow for any adjustments to be made as needed. Overall, whether caring for pets in my own home or at my client's home, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the animals under my care. By providing personalized attention, adhering to routines, and maintaining open communication with pet owners, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where pets can thrive in my care.

Information Jon H. would like to know about your pet
Important to note: One of our dogs does not get along well with cats. Otherwise, we have had no issues with our dogs getting along with other dogs. They are very well behaved, but do like to bring other dogs into their playtime. Both are up to date on vaccinations. If you would rather keep the dogs separated for any reason, we can certainly accommodate. Otherwise, if there are any special needs or instructions, let's talk about them and we can come to an arrangement.
A typical day
I work from home and have the ability to pace my day to my needs. During a typical day, I get an hour to take the dogs for a walk along with breaks often for either playing, going outside to explore, or extra snuggles. For my own dogs, they spend part of their day with toys, part with each other - playing together, part of their day playing with the kids - snuggling and getting belly rubs. But, the most fun is when my wife and I get to play with them individually and together. They like the undivided attention, but also thrive together with their family.
