Highlights
Pet care experience
Fenced in acre in horse country
I have grown up with dogs and other animals my entire life living on horse farms including my current home. Dogs are an essential part of my life and caring for them is a joy for me. My own dog, Shamrock, a fourteen year old Jack Russell Terrier is the epitome of my undying care and affection. I raised her from a eight-week old puppy, training her, caring for her, teaching her how to play frisbee, even qualifying her as a service dog. Even at 14, she continues to inspire me with her energy, enthusiasm, and good behavior. All of the Rover guests get along with her (which is not a usual Jack Russell trait). She makes all the guests feel welcome and comfortable even tolerating other dogs sleeping on my bed with me. The Rover dogs I have welcomed in my home all appreciate the hospitality, the fact that the dog can enjoy everything the dog does at home (be it playing ball, running in the fenced in acre, sleeping on the bed, jumping up on the furniture, or if the dog is used to being crated, then feeling secure in its crate). I will always respect whatever the owner requests with respect to their own dogs routine. One of the Rover guest I have enjoyed over the years is a very active German Shorthair Pointer, named Wilson. Wilson requires crating, a very specific feeding schedule, and lots of exercise. Not a problem, I am happy to accommodate him. Spooky, a beloved Husky guest had a variety of eating issues and lots to say, I adored him and am saddened by his loss last year. The little dog pictured in my profile pick, Buddy was a favorite as well- spunky and cuddly. So, be it a huge needy Husky or a tiny Maltese, I enjoy and work with them all and their specific needs. I only take one dog at a time in order to devote the attention necessary and to keep the dogs safe, but if a family has two dogs who live together, I happily will take both. I just don't like to take two dogs from different households because I do not know how they will get along. Your dog will be welcomed, accommodated, and enjoyed while here, I can guarantee that and the reviews validate that. Thank you

Dorinda had the best time I can tell! She got lots of play time and even a trip to the reservoir! I will be using Roan again for sure, I highly recommend! Thank you so much!
Roan was very nice and had a great yard for the pups to get out. He sent pictures and updates. My pups were very happy and relaxed with Roan.
Zoey always gets wonderful care with Roan!!! Thank you!!
Zoey loves to stay with Roan and her buddy Sham. I am happy that she doesn’t seem like she was stressed while being away from us during our vacation.
Zoey told me she enjoyed her visit with Roan and Shamrock! Thanks for taking good care of her!
Thanks so much for taking care of Lucy! We loved getting her photos and know she had a great time!

Schedule
I work from home and enjoy having the dogs to take care of and provide me with great companionship during the day. I never leave the dogs for longer than a few hours.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live on a farm and have an acre fenced in yard, and a fenced in area in the front of the house for quick runs out in the middle of the night. I play frisbee with my dog and Rover guests and ball if that is the guest dog's preference.
Pets
A typical day
See above, I play at least 2-3 times a day with the dogs outside whether it is to throw a frisbee, or a ball, or to hang out with them on the deck when the weather is nice. Given the mostly mild weather here in Maryland, I can sit on the deck for hours with the dogs so they get plenty of outdoor hanging out time in the fenced in yard.
