A typical day

I imagine I'd wake up, we would go for a walk, get back and have some breakfast. Assuming it is Monday - Friday, I'd come back for lunch, make sure all was well, then go back to work. I'd be done for the day, at some point we would take another walk and/or play. Then eat.

Pet care experience

I have been boarding in my house on Rover for going on four years. We, my girlfriend and her mother live in a duplex with one dog and one cat ourselves, so there is flexibility with where all the creatures live. The backyard is fenced in. I work at Providence doing computer work Monday-Thursday, generally I will come home for lunch to let everyone out for outside time. I will generally discount the Rover price I have posted for long stays or the holiday stays. But do charge an extra day for last minute stays, or ones without a meet and greet. Starting in 2026 I am going to charge 10% as a security deposit for LARGE or high energy dogs. This is just to cover any extra wear and tear (door frames are the number one victim for my house). Cancellations: Life happens, I do not charge any extras or keep anything if a stay gets canceled. Pretty flexible with pick ups, drop offs, and most other things.

Ryan kept us super updated and was a great sitter. Booked him again for the following weekend and couldn't be happier.

Family emergency and Ryan was ready to help. Pups were well taken care of as usual.

Fantastic!! I left my two super-shy kitties with Ryan and his girlfriend last minute when other arrangements fell through, and they were so wonderfully caring, empathetic and accommodating! They were so good at letting the cats get used to things in their own time, coax just the right amount, allow them to find their rhythm. I got daily updates that made me feel great that my kitties were being well taken care of! And when I picked them up, it warmed my heart to see the trail of dry food they had left under the bed, all evidence of the huge effort they took to make the kitties feel at home. My cats were still shy, but completely calm when I picked them up a few days later, and I could tell they would keep relaxing with time. I felt so good leaving them in their care, and I will definitely use them again!! I can’t say enough how incredibly warm-heartened and kind they both are! Wonderful pet sitters and people!!!

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.
