About Steve & Tilaine G.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We are very aware of safety when we have others' dogs with us. We treat them as if they are our own. We trust our dog guests, giving them free range of our house, unless their owner has specific rules. Our backyard is a haven for dogs, with room to run, play, and say hi to those walking by.
Home
Information Steve & Tilaine G. would like to know about your pet
It's important for us to know about any medical needs your dog may have, rules that you'd like us to reinforce, any special instructions for food/treats, and ideal exercise for your dog. It's also important that your dog is ok with having kids around the house.
A typical day
Mornings include getting the kids out the door and getting exercise with dogs. During the work day, Steve is most likely at home and is generally a calm time for our dog visitors. After work/school, we are active, running/walking, activities with the kids, etc.

Trustworthy Dog-Loving Family
Pet care experience
We became a dog family in 2007, and our two pups Lex and Leena were integral parts of our family for 17 years. While both are now gone, Rover has provided us with an amazing opportunity to continue to have dogs in our lives, and our two children (12 and 10) love to join us as we care for our Rover friends. We love being a reliable and trusted resource to other dog families in our community. Steve works from home and Tillie works a mile away, so pet care is very integrated into all hours of our day. We have a large, fenced-in backyard that offers ample space for dogs to burn energy. Weekdays and weekend are both great for us. We are an active family that is willing to spend much time with your dog. Our large, fenced-in backyard is great for dogs, and our children are excited to spend time with our dog guests! Steve is a runner and Tillie is a walker, and we both love exercising with our Rover friends if they are able. We give our dogs free-range of the house, but we are willing to follow any specific rules that you may have for your dog(s).
Reviews
They always take such great care of our Daisy. She is always so happy and comfortable in their home and it’s so nice to know she is safe and so well cared for when we have to leave her. They let their home become her home when she stays and she loves all the play and attention she gets! Wonderful people!
Excellent hosts! Loki had a great time!
Steve, Tilly, and family took great care of BB! Their home and yard are comfortable, with lots of room for dog relaxation and exploration. They gave BB her twice-daily medications, walks, and sent daily updates with photos. They graciously accommodated us when our return was delayed. Most of all, it is obvious how much our dog likes them, which makes us happy to leave B in their care.
Steve and his family loved on my dog like he was part of their family. He had lots of fun and got to go on his first (successful) run!
