Retired w/ 1 acre fenced back yard

Pet care experience

My husband and I have had dogs most of our lives and have had as many as 4 during our 15 years of marriage....all rescues. We pet-sit for friends and family often and now that we are retired from full-time jobs, we are extending that service to others through Rover. We especially appreciate senior dogs.

Karen and Christopher having an amazing property for your dogs to hang out. They take the time to get to know you when they do the meet and greet and send pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend them.

Karen and Chris are fantastic with Arwen.... Even when she wants to go outside and sit in the rain for no reason. :)

Safety, trust & environment

We have a 1 acre fenced back yard for dogs to run and play. We have a network of dog doors for small/medium sized dogs so they can be trained to go out into the fenced yard whenever they wish. We have a pool but it's fenced in so dog can't go swimming without permission. We do have a Rubbermaid stock tank that our guest dogs can use to cool off. If you crate your dog during the night, we can align to that but our two dogs sleep with us on our bed at night. Yours can too if you wish.

Information Karen & Christopher H. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if you dog has any special needs so we can see to them. Also, if there are routines or habits you wish to maintain, let us know those as well.

A typical day

The 1 acre fenced back yard provides all the room we need to exercise pets. If a dog likes chasing a ball, there is lots of room for that.
