Rosie is kept in a separate room while we are out of the house, but we’re flexible with well-behaved furry friends having a run of the first floor. We have a fenced-in yard for potty breaks and can take your pup on walks or to the dog park for exercise. We have 8 steps to both our front door from our home to our yard, a consideration for any petite or senior pups.

Information Keri F. would like to know about your pet

We always do a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure that the dogs get along and so that your pup has met us and sniffed around our house with you prior to staying. Always seems to help them settle in faster during boarding. During that time, I’ll ask about food and anything that is a part of your routine. We try our best to incorporate as much as possible to put them at ease and give them some familiarity. Nothing worse for a pup than to be stuck with a lady that doesn’t know he gets a treat after a potty break or a chew toy at night ;)

A typical day

Dogs in our care will enjoy walks in the neighborhood. We are also happy to take your pup to the dog parks at Walsh Park, Churchill or Logan Square Dog park, if they enjoy off leash time.

Play, Cuddle & Repeat

Pet care experience

I’m a single mom with two teenage kids and a 10y mixed breed named Rosie. I’ve always had a dog in my life. We know how hard it can be to find a affordable, reliable, and affectionate dog sitter. We’re a good mix between play and snuggles. My kids are teens and responsible with animals, aren’t too loud or overbearing. Rosie likes to play with other dogs, but will give space when needed.

Keri was a wonderful dog sitter for Mr. Yukon. Her dog, Rosie, is so playful and got along very well with Yukon. We are very glad to have found her!

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.
