Fenced half acre in the SW

Pet care experience

We have small kids and cats, and only watch one dog at a time. When our family dog Norman passed away in 2019, we started with Rover and found it works really well for our family. Whoever we're watching becomes the family dog during their stay - they watch tv with the kids, go on walks, hang out in the yard while we work in the garden, sleep on the couch or bed, etc. We work mostly outside the home during the school year, so we're the best fit for dogs whose owners do the same. We're up early and home on evenings/weekends, so there's lots of time for walks, snuggles, playing in the yard, etc. Our kids and cats are pretty dog-savvy at this point. We understand the needs and temperaments of different breeds, particularly old hounds. We're happy to follow whatever house rules you've set up for your pet, as well as accommodate certain dietary or health needs.

Katie and her family are wonderful and Benson loved his time with them. Communication was great, logistics were made super easy, and I felt more than comfortable leaving town knowing Benson was in such great hands. We look forward to next time!

GREAT sitter! Sends multiple pics a day. Good communication. very flexible. Offered my dog comfort and made her feel at home. ❤️ my dog instantly clicked with the family and was able to play in the big back yard and front yard. Highly recommend. Will use again.
