Warm family home!
Pet care experience
My wife and I grew up with dogs, and have fond memories of them that we often talk and laugh about. And now our children experience the joy as well. Dog sitting is something that has been a great solution for us. We have been on rover for over 7 years now, and we can honestly say we haven't had a bad experience yet. All dogs have gone home safe and happy! We've had several owners comment that their dogs are a little sad for a while when they had to leave here. We are all very experienced and comfortable around dogs and animals in general. We live in an expanded cape style home with a good size yard with woods with walking paths behind the house where we take dogs for walks frequently. The dogs really enjoy it, and it's nice to walk them in a more natural environment rather than pavement and traffic worries. Why I love dog sitting My wife and I grew up with dogs and some of our happy and humorous memories involved our dogs. Our children have all heard the stories, and now have a bunch of their own fun doggie memories and stories to tell. About my yard Our yard is fairly level with very mature pines and oaks. Mixture of sun and shade. Grass (and weeds!). Unfenced. There is a 100' overhead dog runner. My experience administering medication We have experience giving oral meds to dogs we've had through Rover. It's no problem. Although I did have a dog back in the day that made swallowing her pill quite a challenge!
Reviews
Nova had a great time with Peter and his family as always!!
Tigo had another great stay with Peter and his family. They took such great care of him, sent photos and kept me updated!
Brady has stayed several times with Peter and his family, and this was one of his longest stays (11 days). We’re so pleased that Brady was once again happy, loved and well cared-for while we were away and grateful that he has such a great place to stay.
Peter and his family are great, cocoa loves her visits there.

We offer dog sitting in our home. We watch up to 2 dogs at a time, very occasionally 3. The dogs get plenty of attention and usually get a bit spoiled. We really enjoy having our dog friends here.

Information Peter C. would like to know about your pet
We wouldn't want an aggressive dog around the children, especially our disabled son, who would not be able to protect himself. But even he has experience with dogs and enjoys them. We always send pictures and updates.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We have side streets nearby that are popular with dog walkers. We also have a path through the woods behind our house that a dog would like to explore I'm sure. On a leash of course. Your dog's sleeping arrangement We can take your suggestion on that. We're a pretty soft hearted crew. The dog will probably get its way. Of course, if you have something specific in mind, that is welcome. Time I'll spend with your dog We are animal lovers. If your dog can take part in anything we may doing around here they are welcome to! If anything we'll probably have to make sure our two daughters don't play with the dog too much and let it rest!
