Your dog will be my dogs' playmate

Pet care experience

Beginning March 1, 2023, Rover increased the rate they charge customers to 25%. So, while my rates have not changed, my customers will see an increase in the rates that Rover charges because of the Rover fee increase that they charge customers who book. This increase does not go to me, but to Rover. Justin and Patrick work together to take care of your dogs. One of us works at home so there is, at least, one person who will spend most of the time with your dogs. We have one of our own, a Havanese (Sophie), who we adopted from the shelter. She loves other dogs and people. We will take care of your dog as if he/she was our own. We live in a house with a big all fenced backyard and very secure and safe so there will be plenty of space for your dogs running around outside. Your dogs will have their own bed to sleep and plenty of toys to play with. We will take your dogs to walk 3 times a day. Unfortunately, we do not take care of dogs with separation anxiety because our dog, Sophie, does not do well with a dog with separation anxiety. Why we love dog sitting We have been dog lovers all our lives. We both grew up with dogs (larger dogs, but have grown to love smaller dogs). We grew up with German Sheperds, Dalmatians, Golden Retrievers, and Beagles. Our experience administering medication We have some experience in administering medication. We are generally comfortable giving oral medication. We both work at home so there’s, at least, one person in the house most of the time. We’ll take your dog outside, at least, 3 times a day to do their business. We have a fenced backyard, so the dogs have space to play. We stay indoors inside the house most of the times, and they are supervised when we go to the backyard.

Amazing how Patrick is with Oso. You can’t get anyone better to “hang” with your pet.
