Great w/ Dogs, terrible w/Headlines

Pet care experience

Started on Rover in 2019. My goal is to make this the one thing as painless and stress-free as possible. My 2021 accomplishment I'm most proud of was no cancellations. I can sit multiple dogs but they have come from the same household. Been a dog owner for the last 15 years I've been working with a couple of local rescues for the last 10 years I've fostered and adopted out over two dozen dogs. Quiet, low stress place to crash, no other animals. I have an awesome fenced yard. I live right next to Love Field (5.1 miles) and I think that I could see a scenario where people have to go out of town on short notice and they can just swing by my place on the way to the airport. I work from home and if you are looking for a stress-free environment where your pets can chill while your out of town then please contact me.

Neil was great! Communicative, calm and super loving to my pup! We had a lot of instructions and he took care of Kuma just like we would have! I believe because Neil is so calm, Kuma adjusted quickly. Neil was super responsive and sent pictures of Kuma every day!

Neil was great! He was very understanding of our girl’s quirks and shyness, and we appreciated his calm and patient energy. We would absolutely recommend Neil!
