Dog Lover / Foster Parent / Trainer

I have fostered 5+ dogs, trained them all out of bad habits to find great homes. Have a dog of my own who get's along with all dogs. I have been around dogs for 15+ years and have helped many out of behavioral issues. Look forward to meeting you and your companion! I work form home and have flexible hours so will be able to care for your pet as if they were my own. I take my dog Nala out every morning / afternoon / and evening time to various places. Ranges from outdoor parks, dog parks, and hiking areas. We also take daily walks around our neighborhood so any dog will fit right in! I have a fenced in yard as well as several different crate sizes for your pet. Depending on their obedience/Potty training I also have a doggy pen that allows for them to be out of their crate until we go for our walks. Any concerns please don't hesitate to ask.

Tesfay was the foster parent to our beloved rescue dog, Roxy. During his one month with her, he taught her to stay, sit, lay down, shake, wait to eat or go on a walk, and run alongside a bicycle. She was also house broken when we adopted her and has never had an accident in our house! Tesfay taught us the commands and provided videos. Roxy still obeys these commands with and without treats. Tesfay is a true dog lover and has an amazing ability to train with a kind, but firm hand. He is also very nice and great at communicating promptly with owners. I would highly recommend Tesfay for dog training!

Dog Walking • Dec 01, 2021

Tesfay did an excellent job bonding with my dog and walking him while I was out of town. He even took my dog to the dog park on several days, way beyond my expectations! I highly recommend Tesfay to care and exercise any dog and I will definitely call on him again when I leave town.

Tesfay is a very responsible, caring dog sitter. The dogs seem to really love Tesfay. He is communicative and takes great pride in the care he gives our little ones. Thanks Tesfay for always putting our minds at ease that our pups are well taken care of!

Tesfay fostered and later pet sat my dog, Daisy. He took really good care of her and even trained her to sit, stay and getting used to being in a crate! Made my life so much easier. I would definitely recommend Tesfay to anyone looking for a responsible and knowledgeable person about dogs to take care of their pet.

Tesfay is such an amazing sitter! Our puppy had a great time and we knew right when we met that he would take really good care of him. He is friendly and professional. He explains everything so well, right from expectations to observations. As far as dog-sitting, he absolutely knows how to interact and engage with dogs. His experience shines through. The pictures and videos he sent us while we were out of town made us feel even more at ease and we knew our pup was getting the ideal amount of attention, activity and love. Would highly recommend Tesfay!

Boarding • Oct 25, 2021

We were visiting from out of town for an event. And needed to board out fur-baby for the weekend. Tesfay and his wife took good care of Rover, gave him plenty of walks and play time at home and at the dog park. They ensured our baby was safe, healthy and happy. And provided constant updates via pictures and videos. We couldn’t be happier with their sitter services. We’ll definitely use them again if we’re in the area and need a sitter for Rover. Thank you, Tesfay and family!

I prefer dogs that have basic obedience training, get along with other dogs, and have not shown sign of aggression in the past. I would also expect your dog to not be on any medications or have any recent sicknesses. We can discuss all this in advance.
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.
