WFH Family Pet Sitters w/ Yard 🐕❤

Pet care experience

Taking care of dogs has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I've been pet-sitting since I was young. Although this is my first time offering my services on Rover, I'm excited to meet new pups and make some furry friends! As an animal lover, I have had the opportunity to do some wildlife rehabilitation work and volunteer at the Pittsburgh zoo. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medication if necessary. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or just some cuddles, I'm here to make sure they're well taken care of while you're away.

Karen and her family are wonderful and provide a great home away from home for our pup when we travel. Karen is not only kind and caring but she also provides tons of communication to put our minds at ease while we are away.

Karen and Gilbert were wonderful hosts to our dog, Franklin. They truly went above and beyond making him and us comfortable. They sent frequent updates and were a pleasure to work with. Looking forward to Franklin’s next stay!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, an Alaskan Klee Kai, and two young boys to keep your fur baby company. Pets are more than welcome to snuggle up with us on the couch or bed, and we always make sure to keep them comfortable and happy during their stay. Our house has an open floor plan, and the upstairs is blocked off by a baby gate, so we are almost always in the same room with your pup. I can easily crate your dog if needed or follow any other instructions you may have to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet while they are in my care.

Information Karen & Gilbert P. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the best care and compatibility, we kindly request information about your dog before booking. We prioritize the safety and well-being of our young, active children, so we are an ideal fit for dogs who are comfortable with kids. However, if your dog has not been exposed to children or tends to nip or snap, we will not be a good match. Our children are our top priority. Additionally, please let us know if your dog is house trained and if they have any destructive behaviors we should be aware of. This information helps us make appropriate arrangements and provide a comfortable environment for your furry companion. Our goal is to create a positive and nurturing experience for every dog while ensuring the safety and happiness of our children. Thank you for understanding the importance we place on our children's well-being and for helping us create a harmonious environment for all.

A typical day

We're an active family that loves outdoor play in our spacious backyard with the kids. We also enjoy taking the dogs on walks to explore places like Union Market. Your dog will have engaging activities and plenty of fun in our care.

As work-from-home parents, we have a flexible schedule that allows us to provide consistent care and attention for your furry family member. Our typical day includes multiple walks with our 9-year-old Alaskan Klee Kai and our children, which means your dog will have plenty of opportunities to stretch their legs and get some exercise. We understand that some dogs may not do well with children, so we want to ensure that our home is a safe and comfortable environment for your pet. If your dog prefers a quieter, child-free home, we may not be the best fit. However, if your dog loves the energy and excitement of a busy family, we would love to have them join us!
