Never a dull moment
Pet care experience
My wife and I have loved animals our whole lives. As a kid, I was always bringing strays home or helping the neighbors take care of thier pets. My wife used to walk dogs for extra money as a kid and grew up in a household where her family fostered dogs. We both like to think we have a natural gift, especially with dogs. We firmly believe that dogs need stimulation and socialization, which s in part why we decided to join Rover. Our German Shepherd, Luna, LOVES other dogs and is always looking for a playdate. We take her to the dog park nearly daily and she also gets 2 healthy 1-1.5 hr walks a day, one around the neighborhood and 1 at one of the many walking trails in the area. We also have a fenced in yard. When you choose to leave your furbaby with us, you can be assured they will not be bored!
Reviews
Will kept me informed throughout his visit with Izzy. I definitely plan to continue using Will for future drop-ins.
Booking was for a 30 minute drop-in visit around lunchtime while I was at work. This was my first time using Rover and Will was great! We scheduled a quick "meet and greet" a few days before so that Will and Izzy could meet, as well as discuss my expectations for the drop-in visit. Will was very responsive to messages and answering any questions or concerns that I had. Izzy was quite content when I arrived home from work that day. I'll definitely be booking Will again.
Marley and Jaxon are having a great time on their walks with Will! They come home tired and happy. Will is fantastic and very attentive. My doggies love him.
Will came over to meet them prior and was very flexible for some last minute changes. Certainly will use him in the future!

Safety, trust & environment
We have a two family house that was converted into a single family. There are plenty of rooms with plenty of pet gates so if needed, our cats can escape to a dog free area and if for whatever reason, your dog wants to be alone, they can. We have a fenced in yard. We only use it for in between walk potty breaks or if the dogs get a little rambunctious, we will take them outside and throw the ball around or watch them chase each other. We do not leave them unattended.
Information Will M. would like to know about your pet
Any issues with aggression, medical issues, special dietary needs etc. We would prefer all dogs be up to date on immunizations and have some sort of flea and tick treatment. We tend to walk in and around wooded areas. If your dog is not fixed, we would need to know. Luna is fixed, however, not every dog at the dog park is so we need to know if we have any reason to worry.
A typical day
As I said previously, we firmly believe that dogs need socialization and stimulation. That said, a typical day will generally include an hour or so at the dog park (depending on the weather) and a decent walk. We prefer Winber Rec for the dog park and the walks are either the trails at Windber or Stackhouse Park. This will all depend on the dog. We understand that a smaller dog cannot handle the same level of activity as a grown GSD and we will adjust accordingly.

We run our own business and make our own schedules which allows us to work our schedules around caring for animals. We also work as a team so no matter what, one of us is almost always available.
