Safety, trust & environment

I’m happy to feed, walk, and play with your pups as often as needed. I’m respectful of the home so I won’t go anywhere the pet or pet items aren’t. If I’m housesitting, I’ll coordinate with the homeowner about their personal comforts and I don’t have to spend the night in a home if they’re uncomfortable with it. After walking I can wipe down the pets paws if they’re dirty so that they don’t drag mud and dirt all over the house. In addition I have 8 years working with children as a sailing instructor so I’m comfortable in all environments.

Information Allison G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if the dog is scared of anything such as certain genders or children. In addition I’d like to know if there’s any areas in the neighborhood I should avoid (ie aggressive animals). In the event of an emergency I’d also like to know what vet clinic the pet normally attends in the event of an emergency.

A typical day

I love to play tug of war with pets or take them outside for some catch. Depending on the area I enjoy walking around the neighborhood or going to a dog park if there’s one nearby.

Pet care experience

I grew up with a golden retriever that I had for 16 years before she passed away from old age. As a result I’m used to dogs of all ages from puppy to senior. Started dog walking at age 11 for a neighbor with additional stops to feed and check in on her pet. Between my dog and the dog I walked I have experience in putting dogs in harnesses as well as collars. In addition, I’m comfortable wiping dogs paws after a walk if they get muddy and I’m not afraid of picking up dog poop. In addition I have experience working with puppies and have house sat a litter before. I know how to change puppy pee pads as well as interact and play with them as much as needed to give mamma a break. I currently have a cat that I’ve owned for 3 years so I’m also used to cleaning out litter boxes and feeding cats. (Cat doesn’t currently live in my house, but with a housemate who I adopted the cat with in college)

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.
