Pet care experience

All dogs welcome here!

Many years ago I used to take care of my neighbors' golden retriever. This led to dog-sitting at my house, house-sitting, cat-sitting, plenty of dog walking, as well as some hiking with dogs. Even now, golden retrievers are one of my favorite breeds.

Wade was absolutely wonderful. Kaelo had such a blast with him and he sent so many updates to help us all feel more comfortable. We will definitely be using him again in the future!

Wade is seriously AMAZING!! I can’t recommend him enough. Rex absolutely loves him, and that says everything to me. He takes him on walks, spends so much quality time with him, and constantly sends updates and pictures which gives me so much peace of mind. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. Rex is always happy and exhausted 😂 If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable, Wade is the best!!

Wade is always awesome with Mabel. She can be quite hyper and he manages her like a pro. We wouldn't choose any other sitter.

I think Wade may very well be Louie’s best friend! Stays with Wade seem like a vacation for Louie and we always know he’s in good hands!

Schedule

Whenever I have a Rover booking I try to spend as much time with the dog as possible. For short stays (1-4 days) I usually don't have to leave the dog home alone at all. For longer stays I try to minimize time away and when I am out it's typically very brief - running a couple of errands, grocery store, etc.

Safety, trust & environment

My house has a large, well maintained yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and "do their business". My yard isn't fenced, so I'll keep dogs on a leash at all times when outside. If your dog likes hiking I'm an avid hiker and have found that hiking always goes better with dogs!

A typical day

I love to hike and am fortunate to have plenty of great trails nearby. There's a nature reserve a few miles away and the Laurel Highlands Trail is about 15 miles from my house. Closer to home, Somerset is a very walkable community and there's a short trail to a creek in my yard.

I want your dog to have an enjoyable stay, so please feel free to share anything that will help accomplish this. Even the tiniest details can make a difference and I'd rather have too much information than not enough.
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.
