Information Travis & Mel N. would like to know about your pet

Behavioral Traits: Are they friendly with other dogs and people? Any fears or triggers (e.g., loud noises, crowds)? Exercise Needs: How much physical activity do they typically need or enjoy? Are they high-energy or more laid-back? Health Conditions: Any medical issues or allergies? Are there specific medications they need to take? Dietary Restrictions: What kind of food/treats are allowed, and are there any feeding schedules to follow? Commands and Training: Do they know basic commands? How do they respond to recall or leash walking?

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.

Pet care experience

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!
