Pet care experience

(All day supervision, fenced in back yard!) This is my eighth year working with Rover and my 15th year overall of dog watching! I will follow any owner’s rules diligently and consistently. I never have dogs from separate owners at the same time unless I have permission from both parties. I am a physical therapist and clinic director by trade, but my wife—who runs our Rover business with me—works from home, so your dog will always be supervised. We also have a sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is very friendly with other dogs. I am very active and will happily go at whatever pace your dog prefers, whether that’s a walk or a run. I love all types of animals, am available for contact 24/7, and will send plenty of photos at your request!

We had a wonderful experience with Tim and Belinda watching our dogs. Throughout their stay, they kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the updates that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and having a great time playing with their dog Mindy. Scruffy and Zsa Zsa looked well cared for and loved during their stay. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the thoughtful updates. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters!

Tim was excellent with our pups! He has great communication, and kept us updated with photos and video over the weekend. Even administered meds for them! Will definitely plan to use him for future services!

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.
