seeking sitter with skill set of manual expression?

Many Rover sitters are also trained Vet Tech's and would be able to provide care for your pup. Unfortunately, the search filters don't have that option. If I were you I'd give Rover support a call to see if they can help identify a few sitters in your area, best of luck. [Edit: Rover’s contact options have changed. Visit the Rover Help Center at https://support.rover.com/ to find the phone number, help articles, or chat with the team]

I would talk to your vet about a vet tech at their office that offers pet care. or board your dog at your vet. You just cannot be too careful with a seriously handicap pup.

Hi Sara, Not sure if you check Rover. I am in the same boat as you and have been for so long. Let me know if you want to connect and possibly help each other. I live in nyc area. Luigi, our standard dachshund, has been paralyzed for 7 years and the one massive problem has been finding someone to help us so we can catch a break. Thanks!

We live in the Northern VA/DC area and would be happy to sit for any dog needing manual bladder or bowel expression. We’re in the same boat with our elderly pug who has needed expression for 4 years due to myelopathy. Please reach out any time - we host on Rover.
