Safety, trust & environment

When I am working I try to take breaks every 30 minutes for attention and pets. But of course if a pet is needed in between intervals a wet nose to my hand on the keyboard is always appreciated. Typically we go for walks in the neighborhood and park sometime in the afternoon. We keep a gate in between the kitchen where the food is and where the dogs spend most of their day because one of our dogs is known to get in to the trash can from time to time. There are dog beds strategically placed around the house for napping in any room. Our dogs sleep upstairs in our room on their down dog beds.

Home

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard

Information Walter J. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog display any food aggression? (so we can plan meal times accordingly) Where do you keep your dog when there are no humans in the house? Crate, room with door closed, free range of the house, etc. Any special dietary needs or particularly yummy foods your dog enjoys?

A typical day

We love to walk around the neighborhood and into the park. Sniff walks are our favorite and we like to fetch in the backyard. There are a variety of toys in the house as well!

Work From Home w/ 2 Older Dogs

Pet care experience

Hey There! My wife and I watch dogs in our home. We have older dogs who are great with other dogs of all ages. We pride ourselves on keeping a clean and comfortable home. Rest assured that our home will be a safe place for your dogs. Our promise to our clients is to make sure that our dogs are kept just as they are at their own home. We provide daily walks up to an hour for our clients that require it (weather depending). We typically feed our dogs 6:30 am and 6pm with treats throughout the day and a dental chew before bed. We require new clients to meet us in public before accepting them on our schedule and we will not have more than 2 outside dogs at a time. We offer dog beds as well as 2 crates if needed

Our pup Sticks always has a fantastic stay with Walter and Maddie and their dogs! They are super sweet and accommodating, and were just recently able to host our pup on pretty short notice which we appreciated. They send regular updates and I have 100% confidence that our dog is being taken care of as well as he would be at home. Thanks again you two!

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.
