Pet care experience

Happy times for your pups!

We only keep dogs that are 30 pounds or less! We feel confident of our capabilities in dog sitting for several reasons : we grew up loving, and playing with dogs. Then, as we raised our three children, we had two basset hound mix dogs and a little shih tzu that we all loved, played with and took care of. Then, when all our children grew up and left our home we were given a little six week old white poodle that needed a loving home. Charlie Brown was curious and energetic and became such a loving friend and companion! After 17 years he passed away of old age and our hearts were broken and we thought we would not get another dog. But, a couple of years later, we went to the rescue facility and met Daisy. She was a pitiful little 6 lb. Maltese that needed lots of tender loving care. Her coat was extremely matted and her tender skin was badly inflamed and she was frightened as she listened to all the big dogs barking all around her. So we adopted her, took her home and tenderly cared for her, loved and cherished her back to good health. For a few years, she was well and happy, but, as she aged, she had some very serious health problems and several surgeries were required. After what seemed a too short seven years, she passed away. We're not planning to get another fur baby, even though we still enjoy being around them. So, we'd love to give some loving care to yours!

Our pup is always returned happy and healthy. We are always very happy with the attention and care that Tasso receives. We always appreciate the flexibility with scheduling availability and loving our sweet fur baby like we do.

John and Becky did such an outstanding job caring for our little Lucy! We received updates at least twice a day with pictures. They loved on her and took care of her when she got an ear infection. We have nothing but good things to say about the care they provided. This was our first Rover experience and are so pleased! We look forward to having our dog stay with John And Becky again and again.

Becky and John are two of the sweetest people I have ever met! Never hesitate to leave your fur babies in their care. They will most definitely be cared for with love. My girls love them..

Schedule

We're retired from our jobs of library management (Becky) and machinist (John) . We don't have any childcare responsibilities since our children and grandchildren are all responsible adults. We can serve fur babies and parents in the Krum, TX area when they need drop in visits for fur babies they had to leave at home. For our in home sitting, one of us will be home with them most of the time. Our available days/ times will be available here on our page. On Sundays, we attend church in the morning and in the evening, so pups would have to be kenneled during that time. Our Daycare is opened 7am-8pm to accommodate various schedules, but your pet should only be with us 10 hours or less per day

Safety, trust & environment

We only sit small dogs (not cats) that weigh 30 pounds or less . Dogs must be up to date on shots, healthy and potty trained. For overnight stays or Sundays in our home, dogs must be kennel trained. Our backyard is secure with a 6' privacy fence for them to romp and play in. Our home is an uncluttered, safe environment for your fur baby.

A typical day

We begin the day by taking the pup outside for a potty break. Next we make sure the pups have food and water in their bowls for their breakfast and/or later. During the day, we can take them on walks, play fetch, tug-a-war with a rope toy, chase with a squeaky toy, catch a frisbee, belly rubs and petting. Throughout the day, we'll take them out in the backyard whenever they want to go. If your pup is boarding with us, we'll take him/her out for one last potty break before crating for the night.

Let us know if your dog has any special needs or preferences that we might account for.. We realize many small dogs are used to getting on couches and chairs and we can accommodate that, but will need to know in advance if your dog sheds so that we can place protective coverings on furniture. We can only administer oral meds or injections to cooperating dogs. You must provide food and treats, with instructions.
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.
