Availability

I’m currently working minimal hours so I’ll have plenty of time to check in on your pets or look after them when needed. Because of my open availability I can even check on your pet in an emergency situation. In addition to the Rover Guarantee I also come with Pet Sitter Insurance with “Pet Care Insurance” and can provide proof upon request.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in yard (4 foot high/chain-link fence) with security cameras. One very friendly dog who loves having dog friends over to play. No stairs in the house (although I do have doggy steps for older and little dogs to get on the bed and couch). Active and healthy so I can play with your dog, help with training, or take them on a walk. I have dog spray and a dog horn for walks in case of aggressive dogs running loose. The house is about 1100 square feet and the back yard is about the same. There is always shade somewhere in the back yard. No kids in the house if that is a concern. FOR BOARDING/DAY CARE: I can take your dog for walks or play with them in my back yard. I have an active dog who loves playing with other furry friends. I can also work on simple training exercises if requested. Your dog will be able to sleep wherever it is most comfortable (bed, floor, couch, kennel, etc). I do not kennel your dog unless it is kennel trained and used to being inside one. I am, however, able to separate dogs with doggy gates, if needed (for feeding, rest, etc.). I treat and care for your dog as one of my own! I send regular updates and photos/videos. Sorry, while I am available to drop-in on cats I do not board them at this time. FOR DROP-INS/DOG WALKS: Just let me know the routine! I can feed your dog, give them water, walk them, play with them - really just let me know the protocol. I’m used to dogs who pull some when walking, just let me know if that is something I should expect! For dog walks please let me know if your dog is reactive and what sets them off.

Information Travis S. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know everything about your dog ahead of time. Do they have any aggressive triggers? Are they social/friendly? Do they have any special needs? Do they like walks? Tell me everything you can possibly think of. If you are boarding or doing day care with me please let me know if your dog has been fully vaccinated and is up to date. My dog is up to date on all her vaccinations including bordatella. She is also on flea, tick and heartworm medication. PLEASE Fully Vaccinated (Including BORDATELLA) is a requirement for BOARDING and DAY CARE. Tick and Flea prevention preferred. Also, an in-person Meet And Greet is required for all DAY CARE and BOARDING requests. I have to make sure our dogs are compatible. For BOARDING and DAYCARE I do accept SOME unneutered/unspayed dogs and will determine that on a case by case basis based on size, breed, age, length of stay, temperament, etc. I will never have an intact male and female at the same time. An in-person Meet and Greet is strongly preferred for DROP-INS and DOG WALKS, however rare exceptions have been made for emergency situations and will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Up to date vaccines are preferred for drop-ins and walks. Rabies vaccine is a REQUIREMENT. There is no charge for a standard Meet and Greet.

Pet care experience

In my life, I have had 4 dogs from puppy to senior. I started taking care of my dogs when I was 5 years old and have had dogs ever since. I’ve been doing Rover for 2 years. I currently own one dog, Ginger - a very friendly, very playful, high-energy poodle mix. I’m an active and friendly ASPCA member! I am also insured through Pet Care Insurance.

We absolutely loved having Travis as a Rover! He took the extra time to make sure our dog had the best time he could for the short time he was there. We received daily updates and photos as well ❤️ We would definitely book with Travis again

I always get nervous leavingJax but as soon as I went to the meet and greet with Travis, I felt super comfortable. He listens to your concerns. He communicates very well. Travis is great. Im very protective of my boy as he has anxiety and loud noises. Travis updated me with Pictures and how he is doing. Jax had an awesome time, Travis took very good care and I would definitely use him again.

Travis is always my go-to for my bookings. He is punctual, communicative, and very proactive with my boy, Sailor. Highly recommend him and his services!
