Pet care experience

Your dog's home away from home

I have been a dog owner since I was 5 and for then past 37 years I have had primarily beagles along with one Vizsla with typically 2 at any given time. Our last beagle Charlie passed away a few months ago and while we would like the freedom having no pet allows us we miss the company and unconditional love they offer us. My wife worked as a vet tech for 10 years so we are comfortable administering meds and I have been pretty successful with training pups (yes even beagles).

I’ve been watching dogs and cats on Rover for many years. I’ve also used it myself many times for my cat. I can’t think of better people to watch my pet than my parents. They recently lost their dog and decided to not get another one so they can travel more. My dad loves dogs more than anyone I know. I tell all my friends he’s a dog whisperer. My mom is a former vet tech and is very experienced with administrating meds and loves taking long walks. Their house is perfect for dogs, especially if they enjoy the water.

Schedule

I work mostly from home and my wife has the summers off from teaching so it fits great unto our routine and it would be a pleasure to have dogs underfoot again.

Safety, trust & environment

We have crates if dogs feel at home in them but they are welcome in all the rooms downstairs. We live on a long dirt road which is perfect for walks and if it gets too hot we have a cool basement and a pond for them to swim in.

A typical day

We can play indoors or outdoors, we can walk or run on leash. We could go swimming, take a walk in the woods, swim, or just lay around, whatever the owner and dog prefer.
