How’d we get so lucky to get dogs?

Pet care experience

Steve & I just bought our first home here in Milwaukie, finally giving our pup the yard he deserves, so we’re new to hosting on Rover! Growing up, my family had a litter of puppies about every other summer and I learned early how to care for and train puppies - I even successfully delivered a litter by myself as a teenager when my parents were out of town! I regularly house and dog sat for all my neighbors throughout my childhood. Steve and I have both had dogs our whole life so it was obvious we wanted to get one together - our pup Ash is an English cocker spaniel and probably the most submissive and sweet dog you’ll ever meet. If your pup sometimes has issues with other dogs, I can pretty much guarantee he won’t with Ash. As loving pet owners that have used Rover for Ash, we know how important it is to check in with you while you’re on vacation so we’ll be sure to send you photos and videos if you’d like! Ash would loveeee a friend to play with :) PLEASE NOTE: We are both working professionals that only want to accept one client at a time. Please keep in mind that because we both have full-time jobs, we will not be able to provide constant attention on your dog if we are watching them M-F. Therefore, we need to be more selective of the kinds of pups we can watch so that our work is not negatively impacted. We will be selective of the dogs we share our home with, as our dog is affected too. Please look for someone else if your dog is particularly aggressive, yappy, incontinent, or special needs. We do not accept drop-off/pick-up times before 6:30am.

Olivia took great care of our two pups! She was very communicative during their stay and sent photos regularly. She even took our young pup on a park outing with her dog and managed to walk all three at once! Her fenced yard was perfect for the pups to explore and get their zoomies out. I knew they were getting love and attention during our vacation!

Paddy enjoyed playing with Ash in their nice back yard. However, Paddy's energy level with a bit too much (being a puppy) so Olivia gave the pooches a break for a while by crating Paddy. She was really nice and communicated with me and ultimately we decided the difference in energy levels was too great.

Appreciated the pics and videos while we were away. Our pup seemed to get along well with their dog. Olivia and Stephen gave our dog her oral meds. Our dog also really seemed to enjoy the large yard they have. Seems like she’ll be good and tired for a few days after her stay.

Sable had a wonderful time with Olivia, Steve, and their pup Ash! She played and played! Olivia sent pictures and videos along with updates on how Sable was doing. Great care and communication!

A typical day

We both love to play with dogs. We’d play whatever your dog’s favorite game is and take them on daily walks around the neighborhood. If your dog is like ours and loves to play fetch, we’ll take them to a big fenced park near our house to get some energy out.
