Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and 2 playful pups (Tardis a beagle husky and River Song a chiweeny) to play with yours. If your dog is friendly, don't hesitate to ask about boarding. Especially if your going on a trip. Having you pup alone for days can be stressful.

Information Tommy & Julie F. would like to know about your pet

Is the dog/cat is on medication or special diet? What's their favorite treat and favorite toy and activity. Are they allowed in the back yard? Are they allowed on the beds or furniture? Is rough play allowed?

A typical day

Most dogs get their exercise in the yard. If the dog is required to be walked, the walk around the neighborhood is usually uneventful. Just going around seeing who peed on what. In the yard, playing fetch and tug-a-war are the main events. Rough housing must be preapproved. Giving affection is usually always allowed.

PETS ARE FAMILY

Pet care experience

As a retired couple our dogs are our family. We love pets, we've taken care of our friends pets as they go on vacations for years. After loosing our Buddy and Guy(the 2 lovable pit-bulls in our cover pic) to old age, we brought Tardis and River Song into our family. Our large back yard is fitted with Cameras so you can check in on your loved ones easily through the Tuya app. We'll also do reptiles and birds. We can do birds, cats, and fish on drop-ins only. Everyone else for drop-in, boarding, or daycare. On drop-ins we'll talk to your pet, make sure he/she's fed, clean up any accidents that have occurred. Each dog is outfitted with a ultra-sonic collar that activates the back doggie door, so they're in and out all day playing tuga-war, wrestling or staring at the squirrels in the trees. Your pet will feel loved every day to minimize the trauma of being separated from you.

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.
