We are loving, experienced hosts.

Pet care experience

We would love to watch your family's pup when you are out of town. We have been working for Rover clients for the last five years, both in Seattle and at our lovely home in Vienna. We have one acre of land, with an invisible fence. We walk our Rover pups, if that works, but they can also be outside with us under supervision. Our Rosie is a very sweet 3 year old rescue mix. Contact me and my twenty something son Mike and I can keep your family pup comfortable and happy while you travel! About this sitter: We live in a one level home with dog toys, dog beds and we did have a wonderful old pup, Annie, a yellow lab. Two months ago we welcomed Rosie into our life and she is a love! She is a two year old mixed breed. We have one acre of land and use an electric fence system. But my son Justin, who is also a Rover dog watcher and handles much of the care of our Rover pups, and I like exercise and we walk our Rover dogs, throw balls for them and take them for walks in our backyard woods. We are happy to give your pups love and attention while you are gone. Come meet us! I have been Annie's primary caregiver/mom for ten years. I walk her, brush her, give her her meds,take her to the vet,we 'talk' to each other, she gardens with me (she is no help!) and she sits under my feet in the kitchen. I also have done pet sitting for friends and family. Why I love dog sitting My first dog was King, when I was a child. Back then dogs were allowed to wander and King did but he also regularly went on adventures with us through fields and over streams. He was a big, furry dog and I still remember hugging him. My next dog was Annie, our yellow lab. She is now 13 1/2 years old but she is still very stubborn, still loves walks and wags her tail, actually she wags her whole bottom and lays her ears back to warmly welcome any visitor, family or UPS driver alike. Meet my pets One sweet 2 year old mixed breed (AmericanBeauty) named Rosie About my yard Our yard is only electronically fenced, it has a wooded area, has over 100 azalea bushes and has a deck. It is a beautiful space and dogs find it fascinating. My experience administering medication Absolutely, our dog has arthritis and our 20 year old cat had several medical conditions.

Meg was wonderful. She is so personable and caring. She treats your pet as her own, and was very willing to meet up well in advance to make sure we were a good fit. Would highly recommend!

My dog is always happy and excited to visit Meg's house, which was not always the case with other sitters. That says everything to me.

As always, Meg and her family have thoroughly spoiled my Shih Tzu, Luniquan!! I'm never sure he'll want to come home with us!

Meg and family were wonderful over Thanksgiving with our doodle Sandy. It was our second stay and everything went perfectly.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of trees and we have many certifiably proven make your dog happy walks. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep on his or her dog bed or we have one 'dog chair'. Many dogs like to have their dog bed in our room. Time I'll spend with your dog We walk the dogs that we watch every day and we walk them in our backyard several times a day to check out the smells back there ; D Time I'll spend with your dog That will depend on the dog but I would plan on spending about 30 minutes with a dog, more if a walk is requested. Extra house-sitting services I have housesat many times, I am happy to water plants, bring in the mail etc
