Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In our home, your dog is welcome to make itself comfortable and freely roam the house while being gently supervised. We’re flexible with couch and bed privileges—if your dog enjoys snuggling, they’re more than welcome to join us. We will refresh the water bowl regularly, keep the space clean, and provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day to ensure your dog feels relaxed, cared for, and right at home.
Home
Information Long & ILIA C. would like to know about your pet
Please tell me everything you can about your dog’s temperament, preferences, any special needs, and how they typically interact with kids (mine's a 10yo) and people they meet on walks.
A typical day
On a typical day, your dog will start with a quick morning outing to sniff around and go potty. After I drop off my kid at school, we’ll take a longer walk around 9am on the nature trails near my house. When we get back, your dog can rest and have a treat if that’s okay with you. During the day, I’ll spend time playing and socializing with your dog, but I also know when to give it space to just chill. Before sunset, we’ll go out for another walk to unwind and explore more smells. In the evening, your dog will get plenty of relaxed family time before settling in for the night.

Dog-Loving Family of Three
Pet care experience
We’re a friendly family of three who spent over 12 years raising our beloved lab–terrier mix, Able, who has since passed, and we don't currently have any dogs in the home. While we’re not quite ready to adopt another dog, we are ready to open our home and hearts to help care for yours. Our 10-year-old daughter adores dogs just as much as we do and is very comfortable around animals. Your pup will enjoy plenty of peaceful nature walks through the nearby woods and around the lakes by our home. I’m a stay-at-home dad with a very flexible schedule, so your dog will get lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. We also live right next to a veterinary clinic and close to several others, giving you extra peace of mind in case of an emergency. We’d be honored to care for your furry family member and make them feel right at home. Let us know how we can help!
Reviews
We are so grateful to Long and his family for taking such wonderful care of Bella! They included her as a part of their family and gave her a lot of attention. We hope she will be able to stay with them again the next time we are away.
Long and his family took wonderful care of our dog. She was very happy with all the walks and cuddles. We are so grateful that our dog was staying with wonderful people and treated like family.
We were looking for a nice host family to keep our large Golden Doodle, Chewie, for 16 days while traveling overseas. Turns out that we made a great choice! My family has been saying that we’re very lucky to have such a wonderful family look after Chewie! It’s literally the best Rover experience he’s ever had 🤗💖
Long and Ilia took good care of Cody! Lots of walks and rest time!
