Dog lover w/ a big house and heart

Pet care experience

We walk our neighbors' dogs and board dogs on a regular basis. We have two kids, ages twelve and nine. Both kids are very gentle and love dogs as well. We have a big house and a big backyard that is fenced here your dog can run around and play. We will carefully follow any instructions you give us, will send you pictures during your dog's visit, and will keep you informed. Thank you for considering us!

Lulu loved staying here and had a great time with the Josef’s family and puppy. The family was very understanding when Lulu had some unexpected behavior (marking) and couldn’t have been nicer about the situation.

My dog was very happy with his stay. Josef and his family provided plenty of updates and photos

I have never left my dog for a week before and felt more than comfortable leaving my Brady with Jessica, Josef and family. I was lucky enough to have them watch my dog a for a weekend a couple of weeks before and had such a great experience with them that I felt confident and happy leaving my dog with them for a week. They were great about sending pictures and videos and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing. My dog had so much fun with them and their puppy Bean. I definitely plan on having them watch my Brady again!

This was my first time using Rover and I'm so thrilled! I had the absolute BEST experience with Josef and his family. They took care of my Brady as one of their own and their dog and mine got along famously. I'm so relieved that they will be watching my dog again. This time will be for a week but I'm not as nervous about leaving my dog as I would otherwise. They regularly sent me pictures and video of Brady so I knew that he was happy and that made me extra happy! I highly recommend them if you need someone to watch your dog!

Information Josef S. would like to know about your pet

We prefer to take small dogs that do not shed and are potty trained. We will not take dogs that have indoor accidents. We will follow whatever instructions you provide on food, walks, interaction, and medications if applicable.

A typical day

We wake up and let the dog out in back. He gets breakfast and we go on a walk around the block. He then settles into the bed behind my work computer and naps. Then another walk at lunch, dinner and and play time out in the backyard playing fetch.
