Hi guys, we are back! After several months of being displaced because of water damage, we are back home and ready to enjoy pups again:)

Hi! I'm Mark and my wife Kate and my four boys (Jeremy, Thomas,Hunter, & Matty) would love to watch your dog(s). We have plenty of experience when it comes to dogs and in all honesty we can't get enough doggie time!

We are a family who loves being together and doing everything together. Unfortunately over the past few years we haven't been able to take our dogs on vacation with us and finding a safe, comfortable, and affordable place for them to stay has always added an extra stress that really shouldn't be there.

On our last drive back from Florida in the spring we all talked about how we would love to start helping others out when it comes to dog watching and I am very proud to say that since joining Rover we have just fallen in love with this opportunity and have enjoyed meeting all these new fur babies as well as the owners!

When we go away we expect our dogs to be treated like little princes so rest assure that when you drop your dog(s) off they will be treated the same! Whether your dog(s) are here for a few hours or a few weeks just know that they will all be treated like a member of our family. The dogs that we watch always enjoy our family walks everyday as well as watching TV and playing video games with the boys. Oh and Kate loves to make homemade treats in the kitchen with the dogs as well as making dog toys for them to play with. We try to make the dog(s) visits as stress free and enjoyable as possible.

We also like to treat our furry friends to a trip to the dog park and even over to Wentworths for ice cream (they make a K-9 crunch) on those hot summer days!

While away we can text photos, face time, or do whatever you need us to do in order to give you peace of mind! Our prices include everything from lodging to walks to snack and YES we can pick up and/or drop off for no additional fees!! If there is anything that we can do to make your dog(s) feel more at home or you have any special requests please just let us know!

Any questions feel free to ask and we will get back to you asap. Thanks for your time and we look forward to hearing from you :)

Mark & Kate Barriger

Hi, thank you for considering me to care for your fur-baby while you are away! I have had dogs and cats (and once a chinchilla!) my entire life and cannot imagine life without pets in it.

I am happiest when I am surrounded by wagging tails, and I love canine kisses and cuddles. I am happy to watch any breed and age as long as he/she is healthy, house trained, and non-aggressive. My only exception is very small dogs in my home.

At my home, dogs are allowed on the furniture – in fact I prefer it if they like to cuddle on my bed at night! I always have treats available and I often make my own.

I have a large yard, though it is NOT fenced in. I do have a SportDog invisible fence, so if your dog is trained, I have extra collars and will happily put those white flags up along the boundary so your pup can play without a tie-out. Whether tethered or not, I will always supervise outdoor playtime. I have one large rescue dog (a Lab mix named “Jackson”), so your dog will never be lonely, even when I have to run out.

I do have a crate if you prefer your dog stay in there overnight, or during any time I won’t be home. I do leave to walk and check in on other clients during the day.

I do require a meet and greet before committing – for at least 20 minutes. This is just to be sure the dogs get along, and gives us a chance to chat in person for a bit. This is also a great time for me to answer any questions or concerns you might have.

As long as your dog walks well on a leash, I will give at least one walk per day if weather allows. There will always be playtime!

I do accept dogs from different families.

I am insured and bonded beyond the Rover Guarantee.

I only take *one* new guest dog (or multiple from one family) at a time for overnight stays, and they will ALWAYS have human supervision. Familiar clients will be allowed to stay over in addition to them based on how comfortable all the humans involved are. Preference priority goes to the clients who booked earliest for a date.

I also enjoy providing care for a variety of pets in their homes. I will clean and check in on pets during drop-ins in addition to giving them company. I have taken care of cats, and smaller animals. Book me to drop in for your furry family member! If I am already providing services for a dog, I have a lowered “cat” care fee (other smaller animals apply).

I have had over a decades worth of experience with dogs of various sizes and personalities that I have cared for on the behalf of family and friends. My extended family has Great Danes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and a couple of sweet mutts. I have cared for labs, retrievers, beagles, and various mixed breeds, My own home has one happy and handsome standard sized Dachshund, and a joyful and energetic Yorkiepoo. We live in a large house with plenty of room to care for and play with other dogs. I enjoy spending my day with dogs doing various activities such as: going to a park, playing tug or fetch, running around, cuddling, hair brushing, etc. I have a very flexible schedule as a pet care concierge. I am more than happy to provide additional care services including full grooming, vet visits, living space arranging, and routine maintenece.

I also allow dogs on furniture and beds. My Dachshund has made sure we also have ramps to help dogs who need an extra boost!

Welcome to our profile! I live in Terryville. If you would like someone to watch your 4 legged friends to while your away and you want them at home then this service is for you.

In addition I also provide bathing, nail clipping, and socialization with other dogs, all dogs are walked and have playtime with their friends. Whatever I could do to make your pet feel most comfortable. We will try to keep them on their schedule as much as possible. I am available daily as I work on the farm taking care of the animals and teaching lessons.

Why I love dog sitting

Ive had dogs growing up my whole life volunteered at shelters and rescues. Raise and train my pups and others as well. Its just a passion for animals .

My experience administering medication

Yes I can give both oral and injection medications confidently as I do have experience with it.

We are a retired married couple in our early sixties. John has had dogs since childhood and together we have had a dog our entire married life. We had my mother's dog living with us at one time.

While we keep a neat and uncluttered home, muddy paws and dog fur on the furniture are not issues with us. We couldn't imagine not cuddling on the sofa with our yellow Lab Scout. We have many windows for outside viewing and a sliding door from the spacious living room to a gated deck and gated and fenced in back yard. The kitchen also opens to the deck, which runs the length of the house. There is always fresh water available on the deck. This being said, no dog will ever be left unsupervised outside.

Dogs are allowed to sleep on furniture but we also provide dog beds. We will walk dogs and feed them according to owners instructions.

We take many outdoor breaks for exercise and relaxing. Scout enjoys bird and squirrel watching and good old romping the yard!

Hours for sitting are very flexible and include days, evenings, nights and weekends and holidays. We do require dogs to be spayed or neutered and new guests to schedule a free meet and greet through our experience we have seen new guest pups have an easier first time adjusting .

. We love our dog and are ready to welcome your pet to our home. We promise to care for your dog as we do ours and hope to meet you soon!

Sincerely, John and Patti

We have owned a dog for 7 years now and have been Rover-sitting for about 4 years. We are very careful and conscientious people and will take care of your dog like it is our own. We have fallen in love with every dog we have sat for thus far, and the feeling is mutual as you can see through our several repeat customers!

We have a fenced-in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. The dogs get plenty of playtime outside in the yard as well as some walks around the neighborhood.

On weekends we never do anything and would focus on the dogs. Our favorite warm-weather activity is sitting on the patio and playing with the dogs.

We will usually host a maximum of 3 dogs at a time, including our own. They may be from different families. Things we would like to know before sitting your dog is their sleeping pattern (day/night), bathroom routines, barking/whining tendencies, play/walk routines.

Please also include your expected drop-off and pick-up times in your original message so that we can properly calculate the price of the stay, including overtime.

We welcome well-behaved, friendly, playful dogs into our home. Dogs should be house-trained and comfortable at bed-time, i.e. no barking, whining, etc during the night. Dogs should not be destructive of furniture or house. Dogs should not be aggressive towards other dogs. We do not crate the dogs when we are not home, so as long as your dog is well-trained and loves laying on the couch, the floor, or a pet bed, we are all set! As a note, we typically do not watch labs, huskies, pitbulls, or other large high energy breeds. We have watched a couple of those types of breeds, and the experience has not fallen into our preferred situation.

Since we have an English Bulldog, we are aware of their special needs, such as wiping their paws, folds, and other areas. We would love to sit your English Bulldog and have many years of experience in taking care of one!

Notes:

-We try to be flexible with drop-off/pick-up but no early mornings or late nights.

- We require meet and greets before accepting a reservation

- We do not provide 24/7 coverage during weekdays and dogs may be left alone for roughly 4 hours a couple times during the week

-Please, PLEASE try to be on-time for Meet and Greets and Drop-Offs/Pick-Ups.
