Can you search for experience with particular breeds?

Is it possible to search for a sitter who has experience with a particular breed? I have a Whippet teenager (10 months). Sighthounds (whippets, greyhounds, salukis, etc.) need extra attention as they can clear a 4 or 5 foot fence without much effort and they have to be watched very closely around open doors as they will shoot out if they see something moving outside. They are wonderful dogs, but just have a few special traits that need a bit more vigilance than a lab or doodle might. I know you can request no children in the household if you're worried about them leaving doors or gates open, but haven't seen where you can ask for breed experience. Thanks!

Sorry but searching by breed experience isn't one of the current search filters on Rover. Also you breed isn't very common but they are great dogs. I recommend you reach out to several local sitters and begin a discussion with them about your dogs and behaviors. Many Rover sitters are very dog savvy and can help provide quality care as needed.

Thank you for taking the time to respond Walt. I agree, they're great dogs. : ) I'll take your advice and start with choosing a few that meet other important criteria first and go from there. Thanks again!
