Pet care experience

Cuddles, playtime, repeat. 🔁

Travis: I grew up with dogs and started caring for them independently at the age of 13. I've frequently dog-sat for friends and provided assistance to elderly dog owners in my neighborhood. As a natural animal lover, I've nurtured dogs from their playful puppy days through to their senior years. I’m dedicated to ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and well-cared for, no matter their age or needs. Mel: I’ve had pets all throughout my life and have sat both Pups and Cats alike. I’ve always been naturally drawn to pet care. Inspired by the different quirky personalities that come with each one. Rover was a no brainer for Travis and I. We treat every animal we get like we would our very own ♥️

Travis and Mel are great! They took care of my dog during 10 days always sending pictures and updates about her. They took her to dog parks and kept her in shape and healthy. I’m deeply grateful for that ❤️.

Travis and Mel are great! They have a very flexible schedule, super responsive to my messages and instructions. They are always on the schedule time for their walk and very lovely with my dog. Kacey has the best time with them!

Travis and Mel are one of a kind hosts. They’re so caring towards my dog and are the only people I’d trust leaving her with. They’re very flexible and communicative throughout the stay. Can’t recommend them enough!

Schedule

I am a freelance artist and Mel is a wfh tech girly. We love to spend a lot of our free time outside. Because I am a freelancer and she’s wfh we have a lot of flexibility with how we spend our day. It's always nice to have some furry company and get our steps in!

Safety, trust & environment

We care for pets in our clean, spacious apartment, ensuring they have plenty of room to relax and play. Being right next to a trail along a greenway and only a few blocks from a park and dog park, we offer regular walks and outdoor adventures tailored to their energy levels. In your home, We maintain your pet’s routine and comfort, treating your space with respect while ensuring your furry friend feels safe and cared for. Whether at our place or yours, we provide a nurturing environment where pets feel loved and at ease.

A typical day

We usually start the day with a morning walk, heading out to the nearby trail along the greenway. The fresh air and greenery have an awesome and peaceful environment, perfect for your dog to get some exercise and stretch their legs. Depending on your pups energy level, we might go for a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll, allowing them time to sniff around and explore. After the trail, we usually stop by the local dog park just a few blocks away. So the pup can enjoy some off-leash time, playing with other dogs, chasing balls, or just running freely. We stay close, ensuring the dog is safe and having a great time. After heading home, we give your furry friend some fresh water and a snack, then spend some quiet time together, whether it’s lounging around or offering belly rubs. If you're boarding, we may take a second outing to the park in the afternoon or engage in some fun indoor activities like tug-of-war or puzzle games. Throughout the day, we maintain a calm, caring atmosphere, making sure they feel comfortable and happy in our home.
