WHAT WE DO: We treat pets like our own! Claudia works from home and can give your pets attention and care all day with the occasional errand run/gym. We take pride in attention and care for your pet and home. If house sitting, we don't mind taking care of plants if needed :). We are also open to travel long distances and out of state! New: If you need pet sitting for 1-4 hours for an event we are offering ($10 for 1-2 hrs and $15 for 3-4 hrs) at our home. If you want us to do home sitting ($20 for 1-2 hrs and $30 for 3-4 hrs) Just let us know!

Safety, trust & environment

Boarding/Day Care: We take care of pets inside our home. We enjoy walking frequently around our safe neighborhood. We clean dogs paws any time we go for a walk. We use pet friendly cleaning products only. With permission, we have dog seatbelts for safety to take on short trips to the park, nearby hikes, or run errands. We can also continue with any training for the pet as long as details are given. We can provide oral medications as needed. We have not had experience with injectables but we are not opposed to learning how and there is two of us to help!

Information Steven & Claudia L. would like to know about your pet

We require a meet and greet for safety and to make sure our pup Natsu and your pup/cat get along if we are boarding or house sitting. In order to keep everyone safe, we will need proof of up to date vaccination. To make sure your pet is well taken care of, please let us know if they have any allergies to any materials or snacks, as well as any physical conditions. Please let us know any quirks or safety concerns (guards while playing, likes to eat food off the ground). Let us know if we need to be vigilant with spraying or marking accidents. If your dog is sick before boarding, please let us know ASAP. If you have any other questions about us or for us please dont hesitate to ask! We are free for a meet and greets even if you don't have a need for a pet sitter soon but would like to have someone on stand by. We look forward to hearing from you! PS. Please bring a clothing that has your smell for those who do have separation anxiety. Helps calm them down ❤️.

A typical day

Since we are two, and one of us works from home, you can rest easy that your pet will be well taken care of by us both or one of us. Per their temperament we can play, go out, cuddle or just coexist in the same space safely. We try to limit our boarding to one pup a day, however there are times we board 2 pups (not including our own) so please let us know how they are with other dogs. We are able to separate pups as needed with gates.

Steven and Claudia were very professional and took care of my dog as if he were their own. Not only this, but they accepted my last-minute booking which made everything immensely easier for me. Would highly recommend.

They are awesome. We left our dog with them for 12 days while away for our wedding. Our dog seemed to have a great time. They kept us up to date with pictures on a daily basis. 10/10 would recommend

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.
