I have a spacious backyard for your pupper to run around and play in whenever they feel like stretching their legs. It is fully enclosed by a wall so you can be sure they won't leave their playground accidentally any time. I also have dog parks within walking distance and live in a calm, safe community.

Information merlin e. would like to know about your pet

It’s key to have good communication ahead of time about the doggie’s needs and special accommodations. I like to care for puppies who have need special attention or have special conditions as well. All are welcome.

A typical day

I typically get up early to let the doggy or doggies out for a bit before their breakfast time. I also like to make them food when owners agree. Many of them love it. Later come the walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park nearby so they have good playtime. Every puppy is different and some like to exercise more than others. My kids will play with the more social doggies throughout the day until dinner time and then some more before heading to bed. My goal is to make both the puppet and their owner comfortable despite missing each other.

A pupper-loving home

Pet care experience

I've had all kinds of pets since the age of 7 and know how to take great care of most types of puppies, as long as they are not aggressive. I have dog-sitted for friends and family many times over the years and I'm fully aware of the great responsibility (and fun times) it involves. I also have experience with doggies that have special needs or require other accommodations, like oral or injected medication.

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.
