Safety, trust & environment

With Rover, I always communicate with the dog owner, to make sure what the exact needs of the dog are. I walk fast, so I ensure that the dog gets ample exercise. I stay alert and keep an eye out for any potential dangers - other dogs, chicken bones, squirrels, etc. I make certain to complete a detailed Rover Card and update the owners often. I grew up with lot of animals - dogs, cats, birds, fish. I was a responsible pet owner, but more importantly I gave all of the animals lots of attention, affection, and stimulation.

Information Adam S. would like to know about your pet

I don't really have a preference in the breed or size of the dog. Most of the dogs that I have lived with have been on the smaller size. But when I would go to the shelter to volunteer, most of the dogs were quite large, and often pit bull mixes.

A typical day

With Rover, I mostly focus on giving the dog a quality walk. One of my regular dogs likes creating his own impromptu agility course. Certain dogs really love playing in the snow. Some of the dogs have led me to Starbucks, wanting pup cups, which I got for them (with their owner's approval). I really look forward to the pick-ups and drop-offs. I'll take time to greet them warmly and play with them for a little bit. It's my favorite part of the day! Some activities that I liked to participate in with my former pet miniature schnauzer, Mimi, was hide-and-seek, belly rubs, "I'm gonna getcha", and tug-of-war.

Caring, compassionate animal-lover

Pet care experience

I just recently had my 1-year anniversary with Rover, and I have been absolutely loving it! I promise to give your pet the attention and care that they deserve!!! Prior to Rover, I gained ample experience in dog-walking, in a volunteer capacity. I've volunteered at Sean Casey Animal Rescue and BARC in Brooklyn. These walks were always in a one-on-one capacity, where I was able to give the dog my 100% undivided attention.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
