Young, active, dog-loving family!

Pet care experience

**If we are showing as unavailable on the dates you are needing a sitter, please don't hesitate to reach out to double check. More often than not that just means there is a pending request that may or may not go through. We have been Rover sitters for over a year now and absolutely love it! Our four kids (ages 7-13) have a blast helping walk and love on the many fur babies we have kept! However we do not pawn the job of caring for the pups onto our children... We have extensive experience with multiple breeds, small and large and absolutely love having new pups join our family for whatever amount of time they come to visit! My husband and I have had dogs our whole lives. We have two home based businesses, one or both of us are typically home at all times. We have kept friends and families dogs (before we joined Rover) several times over the years and love having them, both of our first jobs ever were at a boarding kennel/veterinary clinic so we could take care of and be around animals. Our baby Ranger, a lab mix 15 month old puppy is very social and loves having friends come over to play with him! We'd love to take care of your babies for you while you are away. Between the two of us, our four kiddos and Ranger, there is plenty of playtime, exercise and snuggles to go around! We are happy to text pictures and updates to you during our time with them also. Please be aware that you will need to provide a kennel for your pup during a stay with us. We do not keep them kenneled, however it is a requirement that one is provided for safety's sake in case there is a need. Better to be over prepared than out of luck in an unpredictable situation, especially considering how unpredictable we all know Texas weather can be! :) We have a splash/play pool for the pups in the backyard and they are more than welcome to sleep and nap anywhere in our home that they feel comfortable! All dogs will leave our home with a complimentary bath or conditioning treatment. We absolutely love Rover and cannot wait to host your precious pup!

Nikki and Ryan were so accommodating and very easy to work with for drop off and pick up times. They frequently sent updates and pictures of our dog. Great experience, I highly recommend them.

Xena had a wonderful time! She was very much loved and taken care of with Ryan and Nikki. We will definitely have them take care of our girl again.

Information Nikki M. would like to know about your pet

We don't have any breed preferences, but there are definitely some things we will need to know about and discuss in advance to ensure we are a good fit and have all the information to keep your dog happy and safe in our care. Also, due to our children's hectic school and extra-curricular schedules, on weekdays we can only do drop-off and pick-up in the evenings. Please be flexible, we will arrange specific times on a case by case basis. :) We need to know if your dog: 1. Is an escape artist 2. likes to dig or has a digging problem 3. Is able to scale/climb a 6 foot fence 4. Has any separation anxiety issues that you know about a. how you handle them at home 5. Is aggressive towards or shows any signs of aggression towards people or animals 6. Is a good car rider/enjoys car rides 7. What is your dogs routine when you are not home, are they kenneled or do they stay outside and play in the backyard 8. What commands your dog is learning or knows already

A typical day

We have multiple play-time and walking destinations by our house. There are several small parks near us with trails and fun creek beds that the dogs love exploring. We are also very close to Stewart's Creek Park, where we enjoy spending a lot of time when the weather is nice, plenty of room to run around and splash in the water! We have multiple tethers so they are still "on leash" while we are out there, with more freedom to roam around! When the weather isn't so nice, our dogs can expect a lot of inside playtime, with a doggie toy bin in the living room, a side area with comfy beds to take breaks and naps on, and the perfect lookout nook for the curious dogs who want to check out what's happening out front! We have balls/frisbees to throw, ropes to tug and plenty of toys (and kids, lol) to play with whether we are outside somewhere or at home!
