Pet care experience

Dogs need a vacation too!

Two dog lovers here who grew up with dogs and had a dog for 14 years. She crossed the rainbow bridge in 2020 and we miss her lots but now have an empty house (no kids) and would love to take good care of your dog. She was a very active dog so we have experience with dogs who need lots of attention, young and old. Let us know what your dog likes to do for fun! We were very picky about who would watch our dog so we know what it can be like finding the right dog sitter. We want to help you with that task. I mainly work out of my home so your dog will get lots of attention throughout the day. The most your dog would normally be alone is 6 hours or so but that would not be every day. My weekday schedule varies but I am mainly home during the morning and occasionally will be away for a bit in the afternoon or the evening. We are mainly home most of the day and evening on weekends. Our neighborhood has 3 miles of sidewalks and walking paths and we love going on walks every morning so your dog will get plenty of outdoor exercise and will be on a leash at all times. Walks during the day and evening as well. Lots of room indoors as well for fun playtime. We live in a house on a private road.

Michael and Anne are friendly, caring and reliable people who communicated daily (pictures, texts) while we were gone for 8 days. They did a fabulous job following and carrying out very specific instructions for our dog with newly diagnosed chronic medical needs. This was so reassuring and made our time away much less stressful, as it was the first time we have left her since the diagnosis.

Michael and Anne took incredible care of our dog Mo. We get pictures and updates daily and really got to know her. We feel so at ease with her there. They will always be our go-to when we go out of town! Thank you for another great stay!

Our senior Black Lab Brody feels right at home with Michael and Annie. We never worry as he feels that they are his "second home." They take great care of him, give him lots of baby carrots as treats, take nice, long walks, and place yoga mats on slippery surfaces for him. He just had another great visit with them!

As always our "go to sitters" for Paisley. Walks, pictures and updates almost every day! She loves going there and we hate when they aren't available as we truly only trust them with our pup!

We feel like Michael and Anne are our dog Brody’s second family! They do a wonderful job caring for him and send lots of photos. He lives his walks through their beautiful neighborhood and feels right at home!

Safety, trust & environment

We can handle most types and personalities of dogs. We have had several different breeds and we have loved them all. We are able to handle most special requests that your dog may have so just ask and we will be happy to make it work out if possible.

A typical day

We almost always go for a 3 mile walk in the morning. Can do less if your dog can't walk that far. We take little walks down our private road throughout the day and we love playing with the dogs in our house as well.

No breed preferences but the more we can know about your dog the better. What she likes, when she likes to go outside, is she ok with other animals (we don't have other animals but always good to know) or anything else we should know so that your dog has a great time with us. We also ask that your dog be house trained.
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.
