Availability

I am currently a stay at home parent, so am relatively flexible during the day while the kids are in school. The kids have activities after school so if your pet enjoys riding along, we can take them for a ride! When the kids are home, your furry family member will get three times the attention. Please note that we do accept multiple pups at the same time, and we strive to make sure each pup is comfortable in our home.

Dog ❤️ing Family Seeks Pets!

Pet care experience

We’re a warm, dog-loving family ready to welcome your pup into our home whenever you’re traveling or just need an extra hand — a home away from home. Dogs have always been a central part of our lives. We grew up with family pets and shared many wonderful years with our own sweet Scarlet before she crossed the rainbow bridge, and caring for dogs still brings us joy and comfort. We’re used to providing multiple walks a day (typically 4-5), but we’re happy to customize that to match your dog’s usual routine—more exercise, less exercise, or anything in between. Your pup’s comfort and well-being come first. Our home is relaxed, dog-friendly with possibly multiple pups sharing the house, and yes—dogs are welcome on the sofa! But if your pup has different house rules, we gladly follow whatever you prefer. We do everything we can to maintain their familiar routine so their stay feels as close to home as possible. Communication is important to us, and you can expect timely responses and regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. We want you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. Most of all, we truly love getting to know every dog that comes through our door. We treat each one with the same care, patience, and affection we gave our own. Let us be your pet’s comfortable, caring home-away-from-home—where they’re treated like part of the family. 🐾💛 We are so thankful for our Rover clients, and are happy that many of our bookings are repeats. We hope to have a chance to get to know your furry family member too!

Great communication and lots of photos and updates! Our Cleo always leaves happy and well cared for. Ponyo was also very flexible when we wanted to adjust Cleo’s length of stay!

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.
