Let me know if your dog has any special needs to prepare for, I prefer dogs that have learned the basics: no jumping, no grabbing food off the table or counters..

We have a nice stretch of sidewalk in front of the house for several quick walks and a quiet neighborhood for one longer walk. As mentioned the backyard is great for exploring.

Pet care experience

My wife and I are around the house most of the time. One of us will almost always be home. We have a large fenced yard with room to run and explore, a deck, and a patio for lounging or sunbathing. Always look forward to meeting new dog friends. I’ll take good care of your furry family members and keep them happy. I am 54 years old and have been a lifetime dog owner and foster home for dogs. We have adopted two Bassett Hounds (spayed & neutered) who would enjoy the four-legged company.

Russ and Andra did a fantastic job watching my dog Royal during my vacation. They are reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Royal’s comfort and routine. Thank you both for taking care of my boy 🐶.

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.
