Pet care experience
If I were a dog, this is the home I would want to be at. A beautiful fenced yard with lots of shade. Other dogs to play with. Our home is all leather and tile so sitting on the couch is OK! About this sitter: We did not plan on children so our dogs were our babies until God blessed us with our son. So now our family is complete. 1 child, 3 dogs, 10 fish and 3 turtles. We love our doggies and they are well taken care of, spoiled if I may say so myself. They are well behaved and get along nicely with other nice dogs. I am the loving Alpha dog in the house and the dogs all vie for my attention and affection. I often find myself petting all 3 at once. (I use my foot for the third one) We have a beautiful fenced backyard with a pool. 2 of the dogs love swimming with us when we are in the pool. I spend lots of time with the dogs out back. I will love and care for your dog as if they were one of my own. I will follow any specific requests you have to the letter. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs in my life since the day I was born. I love all dogs and they know it. Dogs can sense a dog lover I think. I believe that a well trained dog will enjoy a happier lifestyle. My Westie's are clicker trained by me. Clicker training is an excellent tool for young dogs. I do not offer full training but I will work with your dog on a particular aspect of their training free of charge if you would like me to. We don't have a large house but we do have a loving home. My 9 year old son loves our dogs and takes good care of them. The little Yorkie mix is actually his and I have instilled a sense of responsibility n him in regards to all our dogs. He has read about foster homes for dogs which we were thinking about but I think it would be to hard to have a dog stay with you for a very extended period and watch them leave. So Rover.com seems like the perfect fit for us. I am home from work by 2 pm on most days so the dogs are not alone for long. 2 of my dogs get crated whenever I leave and the best watchdog stays out. My dogs have been crate trained from birth and love their crates. I do not require your dog to be crated but you are welcome to bring one or use one of ours if you prefer your dog crated for those brief periods I am not here. Meet my pets 10 Fish and 3 Turtles, lots of birds and butterflies in our backyard. About my yard We have a great fenced backyard. There's a pool if your dog likes to swim. Mine only get in if we're in the pool. If your dog likes long walks, we live on a dead end street across from a lake and a nice open area. My experience administering medication Totally comfortable.
Reviews
We were visiting Orlando and needed a place for our dog for a couple of nights. We booked with Wayne last minute, it was our first experience using Rover. He and family did an amazing job with our dog. Wayne sent several pictures and provided numerous updates on how our dog was adjusting to his new environment . We would definitely use Wayne again when we are in the area.
Terrific sitter, especially with my terrified little dog.
Wayne and his family took wonderful care of my babies. I got lots of adorable pictures of their happy little faces. They get a big thumbs up from me and 2 paws up from our pups!
The best Rover we have had in 2 years! Absolutely fantastic!

I used to love big dogs, but I now love those lap dogs like my Westie's. I cannot sit down on the couch without the dogs racing to get that perfect lap spot. Bella, the Yorkie often wraps herself around my neck on the back of the couch. Very funny! I've found every breed has something different to offer and love exploring other dogs personalities. I am used to Terriers which have a lot of energy so I feel I can handle any energetic breed or personality.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Sure, like I said if your dog likes to be walked as opposed to running around the backyard or if they are just used to that, absolutely. Like I said we live on a dead end street. Great for walking dogs. Your dog's sleeping arrangement If you have a small dog who likes to sleep in your bed I have no problem with that. If you prefer, your dog can sleep in a crate or on our couch. We have leather furniture so it's perfect for a dog friendly home. Time I'll spend with your dog All day long, I actually spend more time with my dogs then I do with my wife. (Don't tell her that)
