Dog Services, SFH, 1 Pup At a Time

Pet care experience

We are offering dog hosting and doggie day care services in our home in Rockville, MD. We are a husband and wife team. We have a large fenced Backyard. We grew up with dogs and love all dogs. We have been dog hosting and walking on Rover since 2015. We do not have any kids or pets and will provide the utmost care for your dog or puppy. We are doing this for fun!. We are Both semi-retired and can focus 100% as a pup sitter, walker and day care provider! We have a security system inside our house with "live" video streaming/motion detection to our Smartphones. If we need to leave the house we are able to check on activity and safety of your pup while we are gone. Thank you for reading our profile and we look forward to doing a meet and greet (required) if you are considering our services. Note: Currently, we only watch 1 dog at a time; however, a second dog from the same household would be an additional $50 dollars per night. Thank you, Vic and Karen

Victor took great care of my pup. He sent a ton of pictures, had great communication, and gave her so much love and attention. I would recommend him to anyone!

This was the first time we left our fur baby home when we went on vacation. Vic and Karen were wonderful with our Cinnamon dog. She received lots of exercise and attention. They made sure Cinnamon was not lonely. They even let Cinnamon sleep with them. We would definitely trust Cinnamon with them again.

I highly recommend Vic and Karen as dog sitters! They showered Nittany with affection, took him on enjoyable walks, and made sure he felt comfortable. Nittany quickly grew to love them, and I felt reassured knowing he was in such caring hands. They really went above and beyond. I will certainly be using them next time we need someone to watch our dog!

Vic and Karen took great care of my dog Pixie while I was on vacation. They sent me lots of updates and photos, and I could tell Pixie was enjoying her time with them. She got plenty of walks, cuddles, and love while I was away! I will definitely ask them to dog-sit Pixie again in the future.

How does pet care fit into our daily and weekly routine?? I think it fits in very well on a day to day basis. Karen works a few days per week from Home and I am with the Fur Kid the majority of the day and night.
