Information Pete & Alex B. would like to know about your pet

It's generally helpful to know of any behavioral issues before taking a dog in. Does your dog chew? Does it ever make bathroom mistakes? Is it friendly to other dogs? Does it come on command? Does it roam?

A typical day

We live on a dirt road, so we take our dogs for runs, we hike out the back door, and we have a pond for hot summer days.

Pet care experience

I work from home and my wife is a teacher with the summers off. We live over 1,000 feet from the nearest (dirt) road and are surrounded by 100's of acres of fields and woods. We're very active and have both had dogs since a young age. We currently have a well trained, extremely friendly black lab of our own. We have two young boys, so it's a requirement that all dogs are 100% friendly and tolerant of kids. We're more looking for longer-term stays and relationships, not just people passing through for the weekend. There are lots of other great sitters on here for that though.

We had a very very last minute need for a dog sitter and we were so fortunate to find Pete and Alex. They communicated so well and were so pleasant and welcoming! Leo had the absolute best time and came home tired out!

Pete and Alex were so wonderful! They took great care of our 6-month-old puppy Juniper. She got lots of exercise with them and came home happy and tired! We would absolutely book with them again!

Pete and Alex were amazing!! Quick to respond, very accommodating and most important they were wonderful to our Lincoln. Their home and surrounding property was a dream for Lincoln to run around and play with their dog Hank. Lincoln also enjoyed hikes with Pete and Hank. We highly recommend and would definitely use Pete and Alex in the future. Thank you both again for taking such great care of Lincoln!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
