Pet care experience

2 People = Lots of Tail Wags :D

I have had dogs and taken care of dogs for over 20 years! My lab lived for 14 years, so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I have pet sit, bathed, walked, fed, and danced with different breads/sizes of dogs! I love taken them on adventures and showing them love! My wife’s name is Alania. She is a certified Rover member available full time. She has owned and has been taken care of dogs for 7 years. Dogs love her! She had dog sat, walks, bathed, fed, and even worked at the humane society! We are a family that absolutely loves dogs!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

We currently live in a house and have to amazing dogs! They are super lovable, but the apartment doesn’t allow other dogs. We take my dogs on lots of walks and car rides. We make sure they are checked on at least every 5 hours and have food/water available. We love spoiling the babies with love and treats.

Melissa has been a sweetheart taking care of my two babies (Suzie Beagle and Gigi Pit mix) for the past 8 years. She is a family friend that I hired to dog sit my dogs when I go on vacations. There are times I would be gone for 4-5 days and she would spend all day with them. They love their Melissa. She plays around with them, takes them on walks, feeds them, and gives them so much love. I hate that she moved away, or I would still have her watching them. I 1000% recommend her to anyone!
