Loving and caring home for your pup

My wife, Alyse, and I have always had a love for dogs, and always have had a dog. We currently have a pug and a Pekingese of our own, Gus and Breida. In addition we’ve owned a beagle, chihuahua, etc. Our two pooches love making new friends but do tend to prefer low energy friends. High energy dogs tend to be over stimulating for our pug and tend to rough up our little Pekingese girl. We care for our parents dogs and friends dogs when needed. Coming to our house will be a vacation for your pups. Scott is home everyday and is able to provide attention to your dogs at all time. We have a section of our yard fenced in so we can play outside as much as your pups want during their stay. We make it a point to send pictures daily, sometimes even multiple times a day! We have experience with dogs that take multiple medications, so you can rest assured if your dog needs medicine, we will be on top of getting those provided. You’ll get your pooches back in great shape, safe, fully loved and fed. My schedule is always open, and I am home most everyday with the dogs. If I am not available to keep a dog I will I’ve it marked on my calendar, otherwise my pugs would love the company I live away from the road and have a section of my yard fenced in for when it is time to go outside. Safety and attention are my main focus when keeping someone’s dog.

Absolutely great experience!! Eddie had a blast! Didn’t even think he wanted to leave! Scott and his wife are great, sent pics the entire trip and made me feel like my pup was in the best hands! They will be my first choice when I have to board again! Thanks again!!!!

Scott and Alyse have kept our Tucker for a week on multiple occasions. They always send pictures of him and we know he is well taken care of. Scott and Alyse are simply the best.

Scott and Alyse are the absolute best! They have been sitting our dogs for years now and they never disappoint. Our dogs get so exited when we pull up to their house and it’s obvious that they have fun during the stay. It’s great to know our babies are happy and in great hands whenever we travel. Thank you Scott and Alyse!

Pets

A typical day

We live on the north country side of Durham so I can take dogs on a walk down my road with no traffic. We can play mutliple games outside in our fenced yard. We love to open our porch doors on a nice day so the dogs have the freedom to roam in and out of the house as they please.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
No females in heat
Scott can host up to 4 pets per night
We have no breed preferences. We do prefer low energy big dogs or smaller dogs as our two babies are small. We would like to know all about your pup such as: is the pup a food grazer or have an eat schedule? What is the pups normal routine? How much food does your dog eat? Do they have any specific words for potty time? And anything unique to your pooch that will help us best care for them while you are away.
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.
