Safety, trust & environment

If your dog falls into restrictive breed category, we will discuss and agree on the scope of exposure to outside environment, such as walks. We do not take dogs to any dog parks, for safety reasons. We never take dogs off leash outside the house. We are responsible dog owners.

Information Mike & Maria B. would like to know about your pet

We appreciate a written regiment to be provider by owners with details on feeding, medications, other special needs and activities. We would like to know how your pets react to environmental triggers (other pets, pedestrians, bikes, loud noises like fireworks, thunder, etc), and any effective tips on how to keep them safe and stress-free.

A typical day

Our personal dogs have little restrictions in our house. However, based on customer practices, we will follow whichever regiment and guidelines are necessary with your dogs and cats. House Sitting is a 24 hour period of care for your animals in your home. That includes all of your pet's basic needs within that time frame: food, water, 30min walks, pets and love.

Reliable House Sitting and Drop Ins

Pet care experience

Our 18-year-old son, Daniel, provides reliable and dedicated house-sitting coverage, ensuring your pets receive premium companionship and care in your residence every single day of the sit—guaranteed. Because Daniel does not have any other job or outside obligations, your pets and home are his sole priority. He will be exclusively managing the sit and will never leave the house or your pets alone for more than 4 hours at a time—only stepping out for occasional errands, gym visits, or quick store trips. We handle all types, kinds, breeds, and temperaments of dogs and cats. Restricted breeds, aggressive, spoiled, separation anxiety, rescue, medical needs, old, young, small or large—you name it, we do it all. You can travel with absolute peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving dedicated, round-the-clock attention tailored exactly to their unique needs.

We can’t say enough good things about Mike, Maria and their son Daniel! They accommodated us last minute after some other plans fell through and were so thorough before we left, asking great questions to take excellent care of our Muffy. Muffy had a slight allergic reaction and Daniel promptly communicated it to us, followed our suggested approach and made sure Muffy was in great spirits. The daily photo updates were also greatly appreciated. We are so glad we chose them to watch our sweetest little family member!

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.
