Pet care experience

Big Heart, Big Love

As a teen and young adult, I had cats and a dog that were treated like family. We love and talk about them to this day! (I'm old now, so they were truly impactful!) But, it was always hard to go anywhere for any length of time, we always felt so guilty being gone! And forget vacation! But now, with a service like Rover, we have access to sitter services that free up time and space to venture, without feeling the guilt of leaving your pet! If you're in the hospital recovering or having a baby, give us the opportunity to watch your pet while you focus on the task at hand! My husband and I have traveled extensively for many years and have finally started to slow down a bit. On the road, whenever we found ourselves in the company of animals, we always found our calm and our most happy moments! We now have a home with a fully fenced backyard and are looking forward to providing love and cozy surroundings to your fur baby(s) while you have time to explore! We are both nurses, I work two days per week and he is retired, so we also have experience with medical needs as well as time to spend with your pet. Your dog will have plenty of space to hang out and make themselves comfortable. Our home is air conditioned, in a quiet cul-de-sac with little traffic and sidewalks. We value playtime and lounge time equally! We do not kennel dogs unless we are asked to by their owners if they are use to it for sleep or when we leave the house. We only host one client at a time so that your dog/dogs can feel most comfortable and relaxed. We have no children, so no sudden movements or startling motions or loud noises if that is an issue for your older or anxious pet. We aren't sure who will benefit the most from this experience! Dogs are pure joy and love, giving so much to others. We would be delighted to take care of your beloved!

We found our people! Julie and Dennis took extra special care of our baby. We didn't worry about him and was able to enjoy our vacation! We love them and so did our Oliver!

Julie and Dennis are the absolute best if I could give them 10 stars I would. I have used Rover several times and they have been simply incredible and become our favorite sitters. We knew Zane was having a great time with all of the pictures and updates they sent throughout his stay. Thank you both for loving on our guy!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Julie & Dennis! From the very beginning, they were professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. They treated our dog like part of their own family and truly went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and loved. We received regular updates and adorable pictures throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he wasn’t just being “watched”, he was being spoiled with attention, affection, and thoughtful care. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. You can tell they truly love animals and take pride in what they do. We are so grateful to have found such kind, trustworthy people and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

I can't say enough great things about Julie and Dennis. Second time using their services and my boys felt so comfortable it was like they didnt even miss a beat and felt right at home the moment they arrived. They truly treat our boys like family and it shows. Thank you Julie and Dennis! We will be back again soon!

We have a fairly flexible schedule since I work only two days a week and my husband is retired. We do still enjoy traveling, so sometimes we will be unavailable. Scheduling ahead of time is helpful!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fully fenced back yard and live in a quiet cul-de-sac. Our one level home is easy for your older pup as there are no stairs for aging joints to navigate.

A typical day

There will be play time with ball throwing, running and jumping and lots of positive affirmations! Listening to your dogs cues will be paramount. You can count on pictures and videos of your dog sent to you while you're gone as that is super important to ease your mind.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements for comfort. We can accommodate certain special needs and senior dogs as well. I would really appreciate a meet and greet prior to any sitting as it usually makes your dog more comfortable with the experience!
