Todd & Sumer's Rover Retreat

Hello there! Thanks for looking into our boarding services. PLEASE NOTE: We have two small children, so if you think that your pet might not be a good fit, please let us know up front. That includes any jumping, rough play, and food / toy aggression. Please keep their safety in mind! We will NOT accept pups with any aggressive tendencies and all guests must be neutered. My wife and I have been dog lover's since we were kids, so we thought it might be a good idea to see if we can turn that into a service for others. We moved into a new house a few years ago and we've done our best to make it a good home for our two daughters and our Aussie Shepherd named Ashe. We have a full, finished basement that serves as a playroom for the girls and our doggie friends. We have a spacious fenced-in backyard and very friendly neighbors. Your doggie will be welcome here! We live in a beautiful private community with lots of sidewalks and we're less than 4 miles from Gary Pirkle Park. I jog / run there every few days, so I'd be happy to give your dog some exercise too! Not to mention that the girls would love someone to play with. If playtime isn't your doggie's thing, that's okay too. Our community is very quiet and we can provide a very peaceful spot for your dog. My wife has a very flexible schedule, so she can help tend to your dog at all times of the day. My Mom also helps with our youngest daughter, so she is also on-hand to help care for your pet if needed. Just let us know what your special friend needs and we'll do our best to make that happen! All doggie guests are crated at night and when we leave for their safety, so curious pups won’t have the chance to get into something their not supposed to. All doggie guests are fitted with Apple Air Tags so we can keep track at all times. Safety is always priority! We're looking forward to meeting you and your pup!

Murphy loved his time with Todd, family & Ashe! Very grateful to have found a place we can take Murphy to and be assured he's well taken care of. Thank you!

Schedule

We are indeed a busy family, but having two small children makes us creatures if habit. Up early for coffee, dog-walks, breakfast, then off to work and school. Then once we get home, it's rinse and repeat!

Safety, trust & environment

Our back yard is fenced-in, providing a safe area to play. We also crate ALL doggie guests at night and when we leave for their safety. This is non-negotiable. We place Apple Air Tags and Ring Doorbell QR codes on all guests so we can keep track at all times.

A typical day

Our little girls provide most of the "play" and stimulation. My eldest daughter wants to be a Vet when she grows up, so she is a huge help with caring for the pups. Our neighborhood os great for walks!

Please understand that we are both working parents and have several commitments outside of pet-sitting. We are active in church, youth sports, and our community, so please respect our time and schedule. We understand that some pets have a "daily routine" that they may be used to, but with our jobs, family, and multiple doggies guests, it is unlikely that we will accommodate a detailed schedule for your dog.
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.
