Pet care experience

🐕 Walks, Wagging Tails & TLC!

My wife, Alyssa and I have been caring for animals for 26+ years, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra TLC. Our experience includes: ✔ House sitting & overnight pet care ✔ Dog walking & running for high-energy dogs ✔ Special-needs & senior pet care (mobility support, anxiety, medication administration) ✔ Training reinforcement for puppies & young dogs ✔ Experience with rescues & anxious dogs needing extra patience We believe every pet is unique and deserves personalized care. Whether your pup needs extra snuggles, structured exercise, or a calm, comforting environment, we ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy in our care.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities! We always follow your pet’s routine and preferences to reduce stress while you’re away. ✔ Meet-and-greets are required for our safety and to ensure we’re a great fit for your pup(s). This helps us understand their personality, routine, and any special needs. ✔ We follow all instructions you provide, including feeding, medications, and house rules. ✔ Daily updates with photos & videos so you know your pet is happy and cared for! ✔ Emergency preparedness – We’re Pet CPR & First Aid trained, so we know what to do in case of an emergency. Our goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away!

Schedule

🏡 Alyssa works from home & Sarah is home when she isn’t in class. That means we have a flexible schedule and can provide: ✔ All-day companionship for house sitting clients ✔ Morning, midday, and evening walks available ✔ Weekend availability for extended stays or last-minute bookings Our schedule allows us to accommodate pets with special routines, whether it’s medication at a specific time, potty breaks, or scheduled feedings.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Sarah can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
To provide the best possible care, we like to know: ✔ Daily routine – Feeding schedule, potty breaks, favorite activities. ✔ Medical needs – Any medications, allergies, or past injuries. ✔ Behavioral traits – Anxiety triggers, separation anxiety, leash reactivity, or fear of loud noises. ✔ Social preferences – Do they love meeting other dogs or prefer solo adventures? ✔ Commands & Training – Any commands they know or training you’re working on that we can reinforce. The more we know, the better we can tailor our care to your pet’s specific needs!
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.
