Pet care experience

Welcome to our Rover Family! Are you seeking a sanctuary where your pup can feel at home while you're away? Longing for the comfort of knowing they're well-cared for? Embrace the peace of mind that comes from entrusting your beloved pet to a home fueled by a genuine love for animals. We offer a distinct and exclusive experience for your best friend. My schedule fills up quickly because I only take one or two dogs at a time! Our journey with Rover began back in 2019 and it's been nothing short of rewarding ever since. Our cozy household includes a 15lb, playful Cockapoo and two kind-hearted, calm teenagers who share our passion for caring for our furry guests. When your dog stays with us, they become an integral part of our family. We don't just do Rover because we have to; we do it because we genuinely want to. Many of our clients have become regulars, and some have been with us since the beginning. Rest assured, your pup will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. We understand how important it is for pet parents to stay connected while they're away, so we make sure to send regular updates—including photos and videos—so you can see just how much fun your dog is having. We promise they'll barely even miss you! A few things to keep in mind: We're selective about the dogs we take in, ensuring a safe and harmonious environment for all. We typically only accept one or maybe two clients at a time to ensure personalized attention. While we don't have a fenced-in yard, we make up for it with plenty of leash walks around our neighborhood (we prefer leash trained dogs), providing ample opportunities for exercise and exploration. Additionally, we ask that your dog is comfortable spending time in a crate while we're away for their comfort and our peace of mind. As a stay-at-home homeschooling mom, I'm home most of the time, but I prefer to crate dogs when I step out. A couple other items of note: I have a large, private, un-fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood just minutes from the airport. Our very friendly and sweet small cat named Clementine mainly keeps to herself and disappears to the basement, but she doesn’t mind other animals in her space. Are you looking for a high quality, fun, and playful home for your dog while you're away? I would love to schedule a meet and greet, we'd love to meet you and your pup!

Information Lindsay R. would like to know about your pet

We’re a pretty calm and quiet family but can be higher energy when it’s needed. If you’re pup is higher energy we like to know so we can be prepared. Tx!

A typical day

We have a quiet neighborhood and there’s a park right around the corner with great trails. I tailor to the needs of your dog and either take short (.5mile) walks at least three times a day or much longer morning and evening walks. My dog Beesly is quite playful and provides lots of doggie playtime.
