Information Maria & Ian B. would like to know about your pet

Any/all medical issues would need to be addressed ahead of time. While I do have a lot of experience with senior dogs and administering oral/topical medications, I don't have any experience in administering shots. However, I'm competent and willing to learn if this is needed. Any type of anxieties would also be helpful to know. For example, my dog gets really anxious when phone sounds go off.

A typical day

We love to walk in our neighborhood. It's tucked away and safe/low traffic. We play fetch and hide/seek with our dog and he loves it!

Pets

Couple working from home loves dogs

Pet care experience

We've had multiple dogs, mostly large breed, for the last 38 years. We are a middle aged couple and have one dog, Maxwell, who is great with dogs as well. I work from home and my husband is home 3-4 days of the week. Your dog will go on at least two walks per day. We're happy to take to vet visits if needed. We're just a fun couple who loves dogs and would like to help out those who need pet sitting but don't want their pets home alone all day/night and don't want to put them in a kennel. I work from home and my husband is home 3-4 days of the week. We like to walk our dog daily, sometimes twice a day. We have one dog, Maxwell, who is great with other dogs. He will keep your pets company. We don't have a fenced in yard but we can walk your dog multiple times a day or let them out in the front yard on a leash. We live in a nice, peaceful neighborhood.

Maria and Ian took such wonderful care of my girl! They were so warm and communicative, and I felt completely at ease knowing my girl was in excellent hands. I will absolutely work with them again in the future!

Maria and Ian were great! They were super responsive throughout Apollo's whole stay and I could tell he had a great time. I would use them again to watch Apollo in a heartbeat.

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.
