Your Pup's Home Away From Home

For the last 5 years, I co-managed a highly-rated Rover account and raised our family dogs for 7 years. Following a recent separation, I am starting fresh on my own profile. I deeply miss having dogs in my daily life, which means your pup gets 100% of my focus, a quiet home, and years of seasoned, professional pet-care experience!

I have owned dogs with him for 7 years and co-managed a highly rated Rover account with him for 5 of those years. He is incredibly patient, structured, and attentive to every dog’s unique needs. Even though our living situations have changed, I can say with absolute certainty that any dog in his care is in the safest, most loving hands possible. He is extremely responsible, reliable, and treats every guest dog like a member of the family.

Schedule

This fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time, meaning I am always here to provide constant supervision, companionship, and a structured schedule. Because I work a standard desk job, having a guest dog in my home acts as a quiet, natural companion in the background of my workday. Having co-managed a high-volume Rover account for 5 years and being a dog owner myself for 7, I am incredibly accustomed to balancing professional desk work with regular potty breaks, structured play, and affection without any disruption to my focus. Your dog will never be left alone, and my schedule is perfectly set up to treat them like a VIP member of my household throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets receive plenty of attention and care. I follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. Pets are never left alone for extended periods, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and regular bathroom breaks. I also provide updates with photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and at home during their stay.

A typical day

sponse that works well for Rover: I enjoy keeping pets active and engaged with walks, playtime, fetch, tug-of-war, and interactive toys based on their personality and energy level. I also provide plenty of affection, positive reinforcement, and cuddle time if they enjoy it. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away from home.

Before every stay, I like to learn about each pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medical conditions, medications, allergies, and any behavioral quirks. I also ask about favorite toys, commands they know, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, stress-free, and enjoyable experience that feels as close to home as possible.
