Maura and I have been petsitting through Rover since July 2018. We originally signed up because we were considering a dog of our own, but weren't sure about the type of pup we would be a best fit for. We learned we have the routine and skills for a variety of dogs, although we are partial to active breeds that have the energy to go for a run with Maura in the morning and then visit a brewery in the afternoon! When you read the reviews on our profile, you'll see that we focused on boarding in our home when we lived in Baltimore City. We're switching things up a bit in Virginia Beach with a focus on drop-ins, walks, and housesitting. However, if you need brief day-care to run errands, for example, we imagine we can plan a dog-friendly outing for your pup--we live right on the boardwalk! We have experience with young puppies, seniors, special needs, and rescues, but we are not a good fit for dogs with a bite history or severe leash reactivity. We don't have any breed or size restrictions, though! We hosted many different dogs from different households at the same time so we're skilled in handling resource guarding, pulling, timidity, pack dynamics, and mild separation anxiety. We're always happy to have a meet n greet to get to know your pup (or cat!) beforehand. For doggie meet n greets, we prefer to meet outside the home because "neutral" ground makes for a better experience. Whether that be your yard or a park is up to you!
