About: Hi, I’m D (they/them), a professional caregiver with years of experience in residential homes and on farms. With each new relationship, I strive to take a trauma informed approach. Positive reinforcement and play are two of my favorite tools for working with your companion! I love making new non-human friends while helping to make their humans’ life a little more seamless. Communication, consistency, respect, and being on time are values that I strive to uphold. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! My availability varies each week with caregiving jobs and art work. If you would like a consistent care schedule, I would be happy to make accommodations. When caring for companions in clients homes, I follow the humans’ house rules and instructions with meticulous attention to detail. I leave every space I touch tidier than I found it!

“We know John to be a punctual and dependable dog caretaker and dog walker. He is always a truthful caring person who stays calm and surveys the wants and needs of the pets he cares for and determines any action needed for the wellbeing and health of the pets and surroundings. John has had pets of his own for years and done all care, training and exercise they have needed. He has been a sitter for our 2 large very high energy active dogs on multiple occasions and taken care of all their needs, and they love him! We highly recommend John Keene as a skilled and reliable dog sitter.”

“Danielle is the best sitter I've ever had. She not only cares for my 13 year old dog Snow but treats him with the senior care he needs. She make sure he gets his afternoon arthritis pills he needs and she always follows instructions of where he can and can't go outside so he doesn't trip of hurt himself. She is always on time, and dependable. Because she knows how to care for senior dogs I only trust Danielle to take care of Snow. With her vet tech background, I trust her judgment if at any day something happens with Snow and she recommends he needs to go to the vet asap. Thank you Danielle!!! A+++”

“Ivan is good with animals not just dogs but all animals, he has 2 dogs and a parrot that love him alot. He is very patient with animals and likes to interact with them.”

About: Two years before i knew Rover existed. I didn't have a dog and I was taking care of my family friends and cousins dog so I can hang out with them. Of course i did it for free even when they insisted on paying a little. I joke that i was suppose to pay you for letting me barrow your dog. Fast forward to today, my friend told me a service like Rover. He said, hey Eric- imagine doing a job you love and getting paid! This is how I ended up on Rover and met tons of great dogs and cats. Thanks Rover 🐶 Now that I moved out of my parents house after college, I adopted a miniature schnauzer. Best decision of my life. For those reason, I will give your pets the same treatment as I do for my own dog. See you soon! Other exotics animals i own- bearded dragon, 2 ball python snake, 2 finches, 1 parrot, 1 canary, turtle, fish, and my best friend which also happens to be a dog. I work online and I wake up at 8:30 am and walk the dogs at 9am everyday and again in the afternoons. I am free the whole day. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your dog occupied. I play with your furry companion if your furry companion likes to play.

“LUPE IS AMAZING! I can’t say enough good things here. Lupe was so responsive, thoughtful—amazing catographer and sent pics during each visit. I never felt worried about Randy while Lupe was watching him. She even took out my garbage and brought in my mail! I will definitely contact Lupe again for another drop-in.”
