Information Rusty F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any specific care instructions, such as medication or dietary needs, so I can best care for them while you’re away!

A typical day

The day begins by heading outside to go potty and some morning playtime. Once the energy is up, we begin our morning walks in beautiful Interlochen Neighborhood and adjoining Bob Findlay Linear Park! Then they hang outside with me while I tend our garden. After a pawsome morning, we enjoy some downtime. The afternoon includes more playtime and practicing our sit/stays. As the day winds down, dogs have a final play session and enjoy some quiet time with salt lamps, calming music and cuddles before getting settled in for the night!

Where Dogs Have a Blast!

Pet care experience

Your doggo will be kept safe, well cared for, and have a blast! Our home is located in Arlington’s Interlochen Neighborhood (The Christmas Light Neighborhood) which adjoins Bob Findlay Park with shade trees and walking trails! We also have a large, beautiful, dog friendly yard for them to play in! I work from home, so I’m here 24/7 to watch over your fur babies to make sure they receive all the love, cuddles, and attention they deserve! Furthermore, my wife is a former vet tech, so we are able to administer medication, if needed, and provide the best care for your pup! Also, each evening, I’ll send report cards along with photos so you can see all the fun they are having while you’re away! Your doggo will be in safe hands, in a safe community, and will have a total blast!

Our dog had a great weekend with Rusty. She went on a walk every day and was so excited to see him. My only complaint is that we had to ask for updates, but Rusty was great at responding quickly and clearly took great care of our puppy

Rusty kept me informed while I was away. Gemma was happy and exhausted (she’s a lab so that a good thing) when I returned :) I definitely would send Gemma to Rusty again.

Rusty was a fantastic dog sitter! He was very communicative and gave frequent updates. I will certainly book with Rusty again!

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.
