A Home Away from Home for Your Pets

My husband and I both grew up with pets and are very familiar with the care that they require. Over the past 10 years, we have opened our home to pet-sitting for friends and family while they are out of town. So far, we have cared for dogs, birds, and guinea pigs. We don't have any pets of our own, so our family loves the opportunity to care for other people's animals.

This was my first time using rover.com, and Sarah and Matt made things very easy for me. They gave my dog a safe and comfortable place to stay for a few days. Thanks!

Sarah is amazing! I trust her completely with my dog. She’s so great at communicating and I feel relieved to have her watch my boy when I’m out of town.

Another lovely stay for Miko. He had a wonderful time and I knew he was in the best hands. Thank you for being so good with him!

Our dog Chewy loves staying with Sarah and Matt. Chewy always comes home relaxed and content, which says everything about the care he receives. He is really treated like part of the family when he stays here. We are so grateful for the excellent care he received when we are away. I highly recommend Sarah and Matt for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

I have used Sarah And Matt and their three children to watch my dog Luca several times now. And sometimes I think my dog does not want to come home because there are so much love and attention.... I feel 100% confident when I leave my pup in their hands, I trust that it will be well taken care of. I highly recommend their family to watch your four-legged friends.

Schedule

I am a stay-at-home mom and caring for your pet will fit perfectly with caring for our kids! (They have similar needs, don't they? ;) ) Besides a few commitments I have throughout the week and getting our three kids off to school or their activities - I am generally home, ready to love on your fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fully fenced in back yard to keep your dog safe during potty breaks and while they run around. We live in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac and frequently go on walks with our kids (often to the nearby interurban trail) and we would love to have your dog join us! We have plenty of indoor space for your pet to make themselves at home in too, including safe spaces to put a cage/kennel if needed. Although we don't have pets of our own, our kids (ages 8, 6 and 4) have had plenty of experience caring for them and are very gentle and trustworthy around them.

A typical day

We have a large fenced-in back yard that our kids run around in and we would love to have your dog join in on the fun and play fetch! We would also love to take your dog on our many walks and bike rides around our neighborhood and nearby interurban trail. We frequently visit parks with our kids and could take your dog to join in on the fun.

Since we have three young kids (ages 8, 6, and 4), I would like to know if your pet has been around kids, their comfortable level/temperament with them, and what they do/don't like regarding their care.
