“This was my first time using Rover and the entire process made me a little nervous. Tracy scheduled a meet and greet and answered all of my annoying questions. I have been using him for three weeks now and couldn't be happier. He sends pics from each walk and I can tell that my dog is genuinely enjoying himself. ”

“Mariah is very sweet with my dog Zoe who needs lots of encouragement to walk with new people. Mariah communicates well, reliable and sent a thorough note about her visit. Highly recommend.”

About: I have experience in caring for senior and disabled dogs, especially blind ones. I have also reared and house trained two puppies to adulthood and are still with my family to this day. They can walk unleashed (never with your babies tho!) and even protective commands. I am currently homebound so your doggy will have my full undivided attention! I recently lost my senior baby and would enjoy a companion on walks in my neighborhood and in nearby parks. I always have leashes and body vest on the door at the ready for any potty breaks and walks, no fence no problem. Stairs and basements will be blocked off all times to ensure safety and rooms will always remain closed. For house guests, we have an end table crate to ensure visibility when I am just resting. There are also have regular metal crates and a spare room dedicated to any overwhelmed doggy.

About: I've helped train a ridgeback puppy so that he would get along with his brothers more, as well as his more senior brother knowing when to take it down a little to not get hurt.
