🐾 Daytime Dog Sitting Downtown

My wife Rachelle and I have both had pets our entire lives and can’t imagine a home without them. We each grew up caring for family dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to sweet seniors who needed extra patience and support. For the past 13 years, we’ve shared our lives with our corgi, Tater, and have also cared for many cats with a wide range of personalities. We’re experienced with daily routines, administering medications, leash training, litter box care, and making sure both dogs and cats feel safe, calm, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just companionship while you’re away, we treat every pet like part of our own family.

Lovely sitters… my dog was very content there and calm on pick up. We had to adjust our stay due to flight issues and Katy and Rachelle were very understanding and accommodating for us. We would definitely book again.

Katy and Rachelle took such great care of Jet with short notice, and their dog Tater graciously shared the space! Jet was happy and healthy when I picked him up 🙂

Katy & Rachelle have been amazing dog sitters for Gizmo. He beelined straight for the apartment at the very first visit, and settled in with cozy blankets almost immediately. They have great communication and easy pickup and drop off, plus photo updates. I love knowing Gizmo is having a great day with them, with good walks and lots of cuddles!

Katy and Rachelle are warm, welcoming, and professional dog-sitters. Our Daisy stayed with them and their dog Tater for a week over Christmas and she had the best time. They treated her like part of their family and sent lots of happy puppy updates throughout the week. We would hire them again and recommend them to anyone!

Schedule

Pet care is a central part of our daily routine. My wife Rachelle and I both work from home full-time, so we’re home with your fur baby all day. We start each morning with a walk and breakfast, then take regular potty breaks throughout the day along with a lunchtime walk or some playtime at the park. During work hours, the dogs relax with us in the living area or nap in our bedroom, whichever space they find most comfortable. We’re happy to let your pup lounge on the couch or curl up on the bed if that’s what they prefer. Throughout the day, we include playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of cuddles during our breaks. In the evenings, we go for another walk and enjoy some calm wind-down time. Because we keep a steady weekday routine, visiting dogs quickly feel at ease and know what to expect.

Safety, trust & environment

In our home, we focus on creating a calm, comfortable space where dogs feel right at home. We always follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, potty breaks, and any special instructions you share. During the day, your dog will stay with me, my wife and our senior corgi in our pet-friendly downtown home, with lots of cozy spots to nap, play, or just hang out with us. We also have a large exercise pen and can safely fence off an area for your pup if needed, whether for naps, feeding, or just a little quiet time.

Pets

A typical day

We love keeping dogs happy and engaged with daily walks, playtime with their favorite toys, enrichment games like treat puzzles, and relaxing park visits. We also enjoy tasty treats, lots of snuggles, and plenty of belly rubs to make them feel right at home.

It’s important for us to know your dog’s routine, energy level, and any special needs - like medications, allergies, or sensitivities. We also like to know how they get along with other dogs, if they have separation anxiety, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. The more we know ahead of time, the better we can make their stay as smooth and stress-free as possible!
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.
