Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard, as well as crates and baby gates in my home. I prefer the use of halters (vs collars) on walks to ensure there's no collar-slipping and to help with pulling. Retractable leashes are not my preference. I prefer to walk dogs away from busy roads and like to stick to sidewalks whenever possible, but in cases where traffic is a factor, I use a short-leash method to keep dogs close, safe, and under control.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, preferences, or behavior quirks I should know about ahead of time, or if there are any special activities or training routines you use with your dog. (For example, with mine, before handing her a treat, I tell her "Slowly" so she knows to take the treat slowly).
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.
