Safety, trust & environment

The outside perimeter is unfenced but there are fenced areas within the property. I take the dogs for leashed walks on the property and in the neighborhood multiple times a day. We usually walk 3 to 4 miles per day. Teddy is a very sweet guy and I became a Rover sitter to get buddies for him. I will be working at the computer in the same room as the dogs all day and can send regular update pictures. I treat your dog child like my own and will stay vigilant about making sure they are safe.

Information Michael M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any aggression, anxiety, house training, or destructive issues that I should know about before booking the stay. Also make clear any special treatment your dog will require. *I only accept dogs that are able to go to a dog park with no issue. *$20 short term booking fee for any boarding less than 3 days. *Wait to make a request until you are sure you need boarding.

A typical day

I'm pretty much with the dogs all day. I use a security app to keep an eye on the dogs during the few hours a week I need to run errands. I take the dogs for 3 to 4 mile walks on the property and in the neighborhood every day. I usually provide atleast 3 to 5 updates each day. You're dog won't have a typical boarding experience. They will be treated just like they are my own dog and live along side me during their stay. We have a nice outdoor office area that is fenced off. During the summer we usually spend the majority of the day outside working under the shade trees. I set up the kiddie pool for the dogs on warmer days. I'm always tossing out treats to the dogs so they stay entertained.

Bulldog Dad

Pet care experience

Hi, I have owned a wide variety of dogs over the last 35 years and have taken great care of bulldogs for the last 16 years. I'm a top rated freelance web designer/developer and I also operate a small hobby farm in the very nice town of Brush Prairie. This has given me a wide variety of animal husbandry skills. I work from home and hangout with my bulldog each day. I became a Rover sitter so my bulldog, Teddy, would have buddies to hang out with.

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.
