The dogs get along and share food and sleeping space. They often keep themselves entertained, and the yard is set up for them to play with pet door access—one aquarium with mixed tropical fish. Houseplants will require weekly watering.
We expect the dogs to be walked (together) at least once a day in the neighborhood or taken to local dog parks when the weather permits. The yard where they play should be cleaned up every ... Read more

We expect the dogs to be walked (together) at least once a day in the neighborhood or taken to local dog parks when the weather permits. The yard where they play should be cleaned up every other day. Rudy and Montana can be left home alone for portions of the day and will use the dog door.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

We are well situated for day trips to Baltimore, Washington, and Annapolis. The Orioles' and Nationals' home parks are close by with public transport and day trips to Fort McHenry, Sandy Point and Patapsco State Park are great. The area offers plenty of shopping and dining options.

Review

It is impossible to overstate what a joy it was to housesit for Alan and Beverly! Their dogs Rudy and Monty are the sweetest, most loving, affectionate boys and I completely fell in love with them. The pups use their doggy door whenever they want so their routines are easy. There are multiple automated Roombas throughout the house, making maintenance a breeze. Their Alexa smart home is quite comfortable and simple to operate. The neighbors, many of whom I met at the local dog park where Rudy ... MoreIt is impossible to overstate what a joy it was to housesit for Alan and Beverly! Their dogs Rudy and Monty are the sweetest, most loving, affectionate boys and I completely fell in love with them. The pups use their doggy door whenever they want so their routines are easy. There are multiple automated Roombas throughout the house, making maintenance a breeze. Their Alexa smart home is quite comfortable and simple to operate. The neighbors, many of whom I met at the local dog park where Rudy and Monty play with their canine friends, warmly welcomed me to their group, and even invited me to the annual dog park-Oktoberfest party. Meeting and getting to know Alan, Bev, and their whole incredible family has been one of the best housesitting experiences I've ever had. I can't wait to go back!!!
