Loki had a great time. Seems to adjust to the other dogs very well.

William was a great sitter! Our doggie is quite nervous and he made her feel at home and even had a dog bed next to his since she was too scared to stay on his. We appreciated his frequent updates as well, with photos!

We use Rover all over the country and Canada too. We have never had someone so caring and loving to our two doodles like William was to them. Thank you William so much for taking such good care of our babies!

William was excellent with my puppy. He was patient and kind and she came back a happy puppy.

William is one of the kindest & most loving people you could find to care for your pet. He cared for Roxy as if she were his own, and we couldn't have asked for a better caregiver to look after her while we were away on vacation ❤️

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large home with a fenced yard and a very friendly dog lives here with me…lots of dog toys and my playful dog, though getting old, loves to be in the company of other dogs…my dog…a 10 year old 50 pound hound who is visually impaired…does not have an aggressive bone in his body…best dog I’ve ever had but I find myself saying that about every dog I’ve had…lots of people think their dog is The. Best. Dog. Ever…and they’re all 100% correct…no such thing as a bad dog unless he’s with a bad owner…l never met a dog I didn’t like.

Pets

A typical day

Your dog will have lots of toys to play with and lots of games in my backyard…he’ll get as much attention as I give my own dog, Whiskey…. I prefer the dogs to sleep with me on my enormous California King bed and will coax them up unless you tell me not to set that precedent…you will receive daily updates about your dog’s time spent in my care…how he’s eating…how he’s sleeping…how he’s getting along with any other dogs who might be here…photos often included.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Non-neutered males accepted, spayed females only
No females in heat
William can host up to 6 pets per night
Your dog, of course, will need to be accepted by my dog…and my dog is friendly with just about every dog he meets…that can not be necessarily said about all other dogs, however so I require a meet and greet between my dog and your dog before I can accept you as a client…I think that’s in the best interest of all the dogs.
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.
