We Would Love To Spoil Your Dog!
Pet care experience
We are two 30 something professionals who have recently moved from Seattle to Monona. I was born and raised in here Wisconsin, before spending 5 years in Colorado, and 4 years in Seattle. My wife, Kaycee, is from Kentucky, and spent 6 years in Colorado before I popped the question and asked her to move to Seattle with me. We moved to Seattle because I was offered a job at an office full of dog lovers that allows me to bring our dog Della to work everyday. Since then we've added a to our family, and now with our son Theodore, are living back home to be near family. We are definitely the type of dog owners who treat their dog like a child. We spoil our Della a little too much, but we tell ourselves it's at least a little okay because we are self aware. Della has is a very sweet dog and has never had an issue with another dog. She loves all other dogs, and especially knows to be gentle with smaller dogs. We spend as much time outside as we can; going on out of town adventures, playing in our large yard or on daily walks around town. Why I love dog sitting: I have been a dog lover since I was born. I've had six different family dogs throughout my life, and they were all best friends of mine. All of my family and friends would easily classify me as a true 'dog person'. About my yard: We have a very large unfenced back yard with plans to fence some of it in the near future. We play fetch and let our dog run off leash in the huge yard but we would always have any Rover dogs in our care on a safe extendable leash unless the dog owner goes over other safe options with us. It's a great space for burning some energy or just bathing in the sun sun. My experience administering medication: I have little experience administering medication, but would be open to learning more.

Brandon did a tremendous job taking care of my dog! He not only has natural skills and connection with dogs, but its also apparent he has a ton of knowledge from his many years of experience. I was able to attend a work conference without a single worry about dog’s well-being. I knew he was in good hands. I was sent updates, photos, and was impressed with the level of care my dog received! Thanks again, Brandon! Will definitely rebook in the future if you’re ever free!
Brandon and Kaycee treated Snoop like their own pup! They sent me frequent text and photo updates and took my little guy on a long walk. At the end of the stay I received a Rover Card through the app, which was awesome to see how many times he had a water break, potty break, and showed the route where they walked so I could see how much exercise he got. It even had a collage of awesome photos they snapped throughout the stay -- clearly he had the best time :) Snoop loves Brandon, Kaycee, and Della soooo much. I feel 100% assured that they're taking the best care of my 4.5 month pup-son! We will definitely be reaching out to this family to watch Snoop when needed. Love you guys!!
Kona is taken great care of and is always happy and ready to play - 5 star all the way!
5 star all the way !

Information Brandon M. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences. I only ask that the dog is friendly towards our dog, and isn't likely to damage anything in our home. We also try to bring our dog with us wherever we go, so it would be helpful to know how the dog is when traveling in a car, and how they are in public settings. It would also be good to know how your dog is at home alone if we need to run a quick errand.
A typical day
Our normal walks go throughout the Monona neighborhood, usually going through Winnequah Park or Fireman's Park. We tend to stick to the streets that have sidewalks where possible. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: Your dog is welcome to sleep wherever you'd like. Our Della sleeps in her bed or at the foot of the bed with us. We have a king bed, so if your pup is used to sleeping next to you, we would love to make room if possible. The rest of our house is also open to your dog if they like to be alone at night. We have a couple dog beds and a couch that they would be welcome to as well. Time I'll spend with your dog: Your dog will most likely not be alone during their stay as we both work from home. We often plan our free time around our dog, and mostly choose activities and restaurants that are dog friendly. On weekends we almost always take our dog to her favorite dog parks, or for a long hike/swim.
