Pet care experience

Huge yard, lots of love & play!

We have over a half acre with a large fenced yard. Our three kids LOVE dogs, and our black lab Magic has us out in our yard playing ball/frisbee or walking on the greenway every day. My son Owen (15) is an aspiring vet and works together with me. I work from home and so am able to keep an eye on pets staying with me and give midday walks. My kids are also able to walk dogs if you are ok with that- we love to let doggies smell the smells! Our back yard is quite large, and we’re right on the greenway. We’d love to spoil your fur baby with either cuddles or lots of play time, or both! We’re all very experienced with dogs. Because we have a dog and kids, we do require a meet and greet before the first stay for everyone’s safety and peace of mind. For boarding - Female dogs only please - our female lab Magic does is not aggressive but doesn’t like boy dogs. this not apply when we are dog sitting with visits to your home or doing dog walks.

Julie and her family took great care of Daisy, and even handled her anxiety with the fireworks on the 4th!

Julie and her family take good care of our dog, Molly. It is obvious when we pick her up and she is in no hurry to leave with us. Not so sure she would rather stay longer. Thank you, Julie and family!

Julie and her family always treat our dog like she’s part of their family. Plenty of pictures and great communication. She has become our “go to” sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

We are respectful of each pet’s temperament and do our best not to make anxious pets more anxious. Walks and yard play are a part of each visit where appropriate, as are any feeding, water refills, medication, litter boxes, and overall house checks or plant watering if needed. For boarding, you can bring your dogs crate or bed if it makes her feel more cozy, and we will follow your routine. Dogs are not usually allowed on our sofa because it’s on the new side, but all other furniture is generally fair game. Dogs have free roam of the house as long as there are no accidents and that is what you are comfortable with.

Pets

We will go on walks, run in the yard, and have cuddles and kisses. Let us know if your dog loves ball or playing tug or other favorites and we are happy to brighten their day while you are away.

All breed females are welcome for boarding - we do require a meet and greet. For pet sitting in your home, we just need to know about diet restrictions or medical issues, any behavioral issues with other dogs or kids. For pet sitting, we don’t plan to introduce other dogs, but if your pet is reactive to dogs, we need to know so we can be sure to keep them close on walks and steer clear of other pets.
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.
