About: My partner, Anthony, and I are the Rover duo here! Together, we have a combined 20+ years of experience working with dogs. Anthony primarily does the house sitting and we both work together for boarding in our home. We currently have 2 dogs of our own who are both rescues. Arthur is our 6 year old playful, loving lab mix and Taz is our 4 month old sassy pit mix puppy! We love caring for pets and are excited to spread the love to more doggy friends! You can count on us to be reliable, respectful, engaged, and loving to your pets. We will ensure that they get exercise and the love they need while under our care. We will make sure the environment is safe for all pets and make sure your pet has access to food and water at all times. We work from home full time and will make sure your pet has the necessary potty breaks they need and will not be left in a kennel all day long. We love dogs and are excited to provide a safe + comfortable place for your pet so you can enjoy your time away from home knowing your dog(s) is/are in good hands. Anthony and I work from home, which makes pet care fit very easily into our daily and weekly routine. We have 2 dogs of our own and we never leave them home alone longer than 4 hours. We have a fenced-in yard. The yard is safe and a great size to give your pet ample space to run around and exercise. We also have outdoor cameras to monitor if we are not outside with them.
7. Lisa W.
“Lisa, was great with my three cats. I have a almost 15 yr old male cat that has been very skittish all his life. Most pet sitters have never even gotten him out to eat his can food but Lisa not only got him out to eat but also got his medicine on his ears that he has to have twice a day every day for hypothyroidism. Knowing that he was taken care while my husband and I were out of town attending our daughters wedding was a hugh blessing. Thanks again Lisa.”
8. Cory G.
“My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.”
9. Javon L.
“Javon is always so great with my pups! I am confident they are being cared for and loved while I’m out and there are always wonderful pictures at the end of the day. Highly recommend!”

14. Grace P.
“Grace is wonderful. Grace watched my two cats for a long weekend. It was the first time we left our incredibly energetic 5 month old kitten. I was worried at how the kitten would handle us being away. Grace’s updates and photos calmed my anxiety at being away. It meant so much to have a sitter who is a great communicator as well as being so caring and attentive.”
15. Chelsie L.
“Chelsie was so amazing! I had a medical issue come up and had to change our plans and she was understanding. I also read her report and she comforted Charlie during my absence which made me feel so much better!”

17. Nichole H.

18. Courtney C.
“Courtney was very quick to reply to my booking request, and was able to accommodate my need for a same-day drop in. She was a great communicator, and took some fun pictures of my pup for the Rover Card. I will definitely book with her again!”
19. Jordan K.
“Jordan is an amazing caretaker! Whether she’s there just to pop in for a short walk or an extended period of time, I have felt that she gave each visit remarkable attention.
