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.
Reviews
We always feel confident leaving Scooter when we travel. Thank you!
Amazing how Patrick is with Oso. You can’t get anyone better to “hang” with your pet.
Patrick has been a very reliable sitter for our husky!
Patrick is a reliable and responsive dog sitter for our pup, who enjoys his stays there and is well looked after!

Special diets, medications, and/or other restrictions, bathroom habits, sleeping habits, barking habits, eating habits, whether he or she has all of his/her shots completed/updated, other personality you want to share.

We take our own dog, at least, 3 times a day for her business (and do a walk), we will, of course, take yours as well for the walk. Your dog's sleeping arrangement In our bedroom in his/her crate that you bring, on my big sofa or on his/her cushion/bed that you bring. Time I'll spend with your dog Most of the day.
