Is it OK to list your previous dogs that have passed away?

Eric W.'s profile image

I haven't actually had a dog of my own in over 8 months and was wondering if it was OK to list our previous pets for posterity. My most recent, Harley (charles if he was being snooty;) lived to be almost 18 yrs old; which I feel was a great achievement and learning experience. Would it be improper to give his information even if it helps show possible clients the skills and care I would be able to provide their own pets?

I would probably just mention your dog in your bio. I think the point of adding your pets is so if you ever need a sitter you can book one, and so potential clients can see the pets that would be in your home with their dog if you are offering in home services.

Ok, that makes sense. Unfortunately can't offer in home services due to renting situation. Thanks for the suggestion.

My dog who passed away 2 years ago is in many of the photos on my profile plus I mention him in my bio. However I don't have him listed as a dog on my account so that if an owner is searching for a home without other pets mine will come up. I have his ashes and a memory box displayed in my house, so during meet and greets owners can see that as well.

Thanks for the response, I was somewhat worried about the context it might be seen in, but I suppose this is a pretty common thing given the difference in life span.

I have my deceased dog on my profile so go ahead if you wish. However, if you decide to get another dog and then go to use a Rover sitter again it may cause confusion with the sitter if it shows two dogs. Best of luck

Right. I guess it's best to just mention in bio rather than list as a dog of the household.
