We live in a single family home with a fenced backyard and we have a friendly mini Bernedoodle. We decided to become Rover dog sitters after having a lot of difficulty finding dog sitters who share our values and who can take good care of our dog. After a positive experience, we decided to do our bit and join the community! We are not doing this as a business so we only accept one dog at a time. We also want to ensure that you and your dog would be comfortable so we always require a meet and greet. We are strong believers in treating animals with love and respect. This means strong environment control, no harsh words, positive reinforcement and giving them the exercise they need. If you have rules or instructions for your dog, please share them with us and we will do our best to follow them. We respect that each pet parent has their preferences. Each pet is unique. During the meet and greet (a must), we will let your dog sniff around off leash in our backyard while learning how we can best take care of them. When they’re comfortable, we will introduce our dog to get acquainted. The meet and greet also helps in easing the transition for your dog so it’s not an entirely unfamiliar place if they do stay. We can accept dogs up to 50lbs. Beyond that, we will evaluate on a case by case basis. Other must-haves on our end to ensure a good experience for your dog: 1. Meet and greet to ensure our dogs can get along 2. Dogs are not allowed to sleep in our bed at night 3. House trained You’ll get lots of updates throughout the day as we appreciate that too when our dog boards with someone else. It can be so nerve wracking to entrust your furry baby with someone else and we are here to make that experience the best it can be.
