About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I am just starting my Rover journey and cannot be more excited! I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn what is best for your pet. I will take care of your fur baby, go for walks, and even take them to dog parks if you like. I have two dogs of my own and a cat that believes he owns the house, lol. My schedule is flexible, and I can drop in and accept last-minute bookings. I am currently looking for my next adventure, and why not do something that I enjoy? I have quite a bit of free time during the day and would be more than happy to spend it looking after your cat or dog :) I live on five acres with a fenced-in backyard, plenty of space for dogs to be outside and run around and play. They're favorite on a nice day, just soaking up the sun!
About: I have owned 3 huskies before because of me being a husky owner. I have dealt with stubbornness and big personalities. I loved their personality! I prefer to do it on weekends because my work schedule is very unpredictable but I have no problem going after work if you need me to! I always pay attention to a dog’s body language. It gives me an idea what they are feeling, how their health is, and overall if their needs are met like food, water, or had enough miles to walk.

Your dog or cat is in good paws :) I am a part time starbucks barista but don’t start work for 2 more weeks, and even then my shifts will be short so I am almost always available, depending on my schedule for the week I can put your dog in crate if needed, long walks, feed, give medicine if needed, clean out liter boxes for cats, provide play time and anything else your pup or cat needs.

“Julia was amazing! I needed someone sort of last minute and she was out of town but made sure to make it back and to our house for a meet and greet. She came and took care of everything, sent pics and an update which eased any worry about being gone long. Definitely will use Julia in the future!”

And for you to know they are being treated properly and you are able to relax. I can accommodate photos whenever you need also photos of the house, backyard, and anywhere else we go!

“Simply put, Anthony was great. This is my first time using a pet sitter and Anthony took the time to answer all of my questions which really put my mind at ease. My Doberman warmed up to Anthony rather quickly which was evident in the terrifuc reports and photos that Anthony provided after each visit. Thank you, Anthony!”
