Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard, where we can play fetch, dogs can play and swim in the wading pool, or just relax in the shade. My home is a calm, safe and loving environment. I have a meet and greet and if needed a trial visit with every client's dog to ensure everyone's safety. I also have my own insurance in case of emergency.

Information Matt T. would like to know about your pet

I want to know if your dog enjoys being around other dogs, if they're up to date on vaccinations, if they're house trained and if they have any dietary restrictions. Do they have any behavioral issues or medical issues I need to know about? Lastly, I'd love to know your expectations for the stay.

A typical day

We have turf which is much better on the paws and also eliminates the mud in the winter and dust in the summer! Your dog will love spending time in our spacious backyard. We can play chase, tug and fetch, or just hang out and sniff around. I'm happy to take your dog for walks if they need a little more stimulation. When we aren't out and about, we'll spend time at home playing and relaxing.

Military Veteran Providing Daycare

Pet care experience

Daycare only currently Mon-Fri 6 am to 9 pm I'm an Air Force veteran and I have been taking care of dogs since I was a child. My wife and I have a house with a spacious yard that dogs will love. Whether you want care for your dog in my home or your own, I want to be your go- to sitter! I love spending time with dogs too and it is my goal to provide safe and comfortable care for your pup. Dogs and their owners will love me because I am very devoted to animals in my care. I'll treat any guest dogs just like I do my own, so you can be confident that they're having a great time. I'm compassionate towards nervous dogs and can keep up with the energetic ones. This is more than a job to me, providing great care is my passion and it's my goal to really get to know your dog. I'd love to set up a meet and greet with you so I can get to know your dog and see if we are all a great fit. I can't wait to meet you! Please read: New clients, please allow me up to 24 hours to respond to inquiries. My available times for meet and greets are 8am-5pm during the week and 9am-11am on weekends. I mostly watch medium size to bigger dogs around 40 to 80 lbs. I do have multiple dogs at the house at any given time.

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.
