Information JP S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what commands your dog responds to, and how they react off-leash/around other dogs off-leash. Also if there are any triggers for your dog (for instance we once hosted a dog who hated buses).

A typical day

We wake up around 6:45 and give the dogs a quick walk, then after breakfast we head to the dog park for off-leash play time for about thirty minutes. We take another 20-30 minute walk at lunch, and then head to the dog park at 5pm for more off-leash playtime. After dinner we head out for another 20-30 minute walk around 9:30-10pm

Your pet’s home away from home

Pet care experience

We’re a family of dog lovers with a young-ish dog of our own (Indie, cattle dog mix). We have a fenced-in backyard and we’re just a few blocks from the river and parks. We love hosting other dogs who can play with our dog, and because Indie is so high energy we usually take several long walks a day to the dog park so that they get off-leash play time.

Remi always has a great time at JP’s. She shows up excited and leaves tired. It’s a pleasure working with JP and his family.

Had a great experience with JP for boarding my pup Korra over the holidays! He took great care of her, was easy to communicate with, and my pup seemed to have a fun time with his family and dog. Thank you so much!

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.
