Home Full-Time - Large Fenced Yard

I work from my home, which has a huge backyard for dogs to run around and explore. The backyard is fully fenced-in, to the point where my mother’s 5lb yorkies haven’t been able to find a way to sneak out. I have 2 male dogs that live with us; a 20lb, 14yo Cavalier King and a 30lb, 5yo Mini Golden Dooddle. The Cavalier King loves to eat & sleep, the Golden Doodle loves to play, and I love everything in between. Your dog(s) can come on group walks with mine or I can take them on their own separate walks. With a huge backyard, daycare clients are guaranteed the return of an exhausted pup upon pick-up. Brodie can charm the most anti-social dog into playing, but knows his boundaries and let’s dogs roam the yard on their own. I’m available almost every day except for the occasional work trip.

He took care my baby when we were out for xmas. Check -in everyday & make sure the dog is happy & active. I'll for sure to have him to watch over for us next time!

It is absolutely the best choice! Sarah really enjoys her stay with Ronald. She also met her best buddy Brodie and they played the whole time. Ronald sent me a lot of pictures during the stay and Sarah looks so happy every moment. We will definitely come back in the future!

Schedule

Working from home provides me the opportunity to spend hours upon hours outside with my dogs. When the weather’s right, we spend all day outside. Outside naps are the best!

Safety, trust & environment

As mentioned, the yard is fully fenced in. Along with 5 fruit trees and 3 gardening beds, the backyard is filled with an abundance of dog-safe plants. I treat your pet the way I treat my own and provide pictures throughout the day.

Pets

A typical day

Our backyard provides a day’s worth of stimulation. A typical day involves getting to know Brodie and deciding whether your dog wants to play and wrestle all day or not. Brodie will play all day, but respects independent dogs. The rest of the day is spent exploring the backyard and napping. Walks will be around our lovely Redwood Heights neighborhood.

Ronald can host up to 3 pets per night
As long as s/he doesn’t bite, I accept all pups. My older dog likes to play and take long walks still, but has issues around hyper-interested dogs. If your dog has allergies, maybe a backyard meet & greet makes the most sense.
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.
