Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Best Friends
I have had pets in my family for all of my life. Always dogs and cats, but also many different reptiles, birds, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters and both fresh and salt water aquariums. It is all too much work to keep so many pets myself, so I figured Rover was a way that my family and myself can share our love for pets with others’ animals. I am experienced with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors. Special care or medicines are not an issue for me.

Ratings and reviews
Felt very comfortable sending my dog to them for the weekend. They were very easy to communicate with and sent photos each day. My dog got plenty of time to play with others and a comfy place to rest. They also were very flexible and accommodating when I needed to change the time!
Great dog sitters! They were so flexible with my changing schedule, took great care of my dog who has meds and anxiety with loud noises- he was in great hands highly recommend these sitters!
Daisy’s stay at Matthew and Christy’s house was perfect. I only met Matthew and his daughter and both of them were obviously dog lovers. Their fenced in yard is great for an active dog like ours. Daisy got to meet a few other dogs which was a great socializing experience for her. Overall it was great!
Mat and Christie took great care of my dog. He was happy and got along great with their pets. He was taken for walks and I was updated on his stay with pictures.
Thanks for being such good caregivers to our Maddie. We missed her but felt confident she was safe, happy, and in good hands. We really appreciate the attention, care and love you gave our little lady.
They took great care of Maddie. We also loved the pictures. She enjoyed her stay and we were pleased with her care.

Schedule
I work evening hours, typically 3 or 4PM until 10pm-12am. My wife works 8am- 4pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and works from home on Monday and Thursday. We have two responsible teens who also help with our pet care. Someone is almost always home throughout every day with the exception of up to 2 hours in the afternoon.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and an 8 year old dog who loves to play with other dogs. She enjoys when our friends bring over their dogs and she gets to run around in the yard with them. We have a gate to use in the stairs in case the dogs want or need a break from one another. Visiting pets will be kept in the downstairs of the house so the cats have a safe place upstairs. Most of the fenced in backyard is covered by cameras for your peace of mind. As an added bonus, my daughter has a dog agility course complete with jumps that she loves to run our pup through. Your little friend will get plenty of exercise. We also live on a quiet dead-end circle that provides a nice leash walking area with minimal traffic. As far as caring for your pets on your home, I will follow your instructions precisely and leave your house as-is.

A typical day
I enjoy playing fetch and tug of war with my pup. Those are her favorites. When her dog friends come over they just run like crazy in our fenced in yard. My daughter also has a dog agility course that she likes to run Marley through. She would love another playmate out there.
