Stay at home puppy mom - Dawg House
Pet care experience
We're a young and fun family consisting of a working outside of the house puppy dad, Matt, a work from home puppy mom, Risa, and our five month old Toy Poodle, Addison. Addison is a lively and friendly puppy who loves to socialize with other dogs and will keep your dog company throughout the stay. Our apartment is puppy proof and provides several good areas for playtime and downtime. Dogs are allowed everywhere in our place except for on the bed. We do not leave Addison alone for more than 2-3 hours and we will take the same amount of great care of your dog. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for my entire life having grown up and spending every year as a child with at least one dog at a time. As soon as Matt and I could responsibly become dog owners ourselves, we brought Addison into our lives and couldn't be happier. About my yard We don't have a backyard, but we do have a balcony that we have puppy proofed and created a fake grass patch for potty training. Addison loves it, but if your dog does not want to use it, we are happy to take your dog on a walk. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication so long as I have proper guidance and a demonstration would be preferable.
Reviews
Risa and Matt are amazing. They took care of my dog like he was their own (they even let him sleep in their bed with them!). I had updates and photos every day from Risa-- which were incredibly thoughtful and detailed -- and they were accommodating and kind from start to finish. They're wonderful.
Russ took CJ on short notice which was a big help. This was our first time and it worked great.
This is our first try on Rover.com and this experience with Risa was completely fantastic. Risa,Matt and Addison gave us a warm welcome and led us to their sweet home. They encouraged Addison to play with Meatball(my baby sweetie). And they sent my pics everyday! I will definitely recommend Risa and hope we can meet again in our next visit to Chicago!
Risa and Matt, along with Addison, were lovely hosts to Moxie for almost 3 weeks. I got regular updates and pictures on Moxies behavior and how she was acclimating to her new surroundings. Risa and Matt provided consistent care and cuddles while Addison provided her with a great pal.

Information Risa R. would like to know about your pet
It is extremely important to me to be able to get to know your dog before dog sitting for you, and what better way to do this then hearing it from you? Before dog sitting, it would be beneficial for me, you, and your loved one to tell me all about what your dog prefers, loves, dislikes, and enjoys. The more I know, the better and more comfortable the stay will be.
A typical day
Your dog's sleeping arrangement Addison currently sleeps in the living room, but depending upon what is customary in your household, we can arrange the sleeping environment to mirror that to make your dog as comfortable and at home as possible. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home so I will be home most of everyday. The longest I leave my own puppy alone is for 2-3 hours, but usually it is only an hour for a quick errand or run to the gym.
