Pet care experience

Human Goldendoodle aims to please!

Hi! I'm Sherm, and I've been a dog owner for more than a decade. I'm actually pretty famous among my friends for converting their dogs they claim to hate men, it usually only takes 10 minutes or so! I know how much our pets are family to us, and so I'm happy to update you on the time I spend with them, as well as offer training in obedience and socialization. My last pup was a toy breed who scrapped with Pitbulls for fun before I trained her, so I can handle breeds of high energy and high mentality!

Alon took very good care of our aging Norwegian Elkhound. Alon was faced with an unexpected snowstorm and had to clear our LONG driveway so he could exit. Our house was warm clean and inviting upon our late return.

Sherm was amazing! He took excellent care of our fur baby and our apt while we were away. He sent pictures and was very prompt in all communication. Our kitty was struggling with the "new person in my house" phase, and he did a great job making her feel comfortable and safe. He was so patient and reassuring that she was loafing in his lap by the end of the stay. He also left the apt very clean. Would absolutely rebook and recommend!

Sherm was great, especially, so last minute! He was great with Marty and was responsive for requests of pictures and updates. We are very thankful!

Alon sited our dog Hubie for two weeks. He was responsible, kept us updated on our pet daily and did a fantastic job keeping him active, healthy and fed. He also was very responsible with the house itself and cleaned up very nice after he left. We will definitely use his service again when the situation requires it.

Love having Alon take care of my Dog, Esther. I get updates and pics so I’m not too worried about her while I’m out of town. he’s a solid and dependable service provider- even during holiday season! Best dog sitter ever!

Hi! I work a job with three days a week in person, so 4 days a week I can spend entirely with your pup, and for those three days a week I can be gone from 8-3, and can happily return for Lunchtime walks and socialization. For those four guaranteed days I'm flexible as to your needs, and for nighttime sitting I am flexible any day of the week!

Alon can host up to 1 pet per night
I have no special preferences as to breeds or species of pet, but please let me know at the time of request and/or booking any things I should be aware of. The only thing I don’t need to be told is if your animal doesn’t like men, because that’s never been an issue (even for pets I’ve been extensively warned about!)
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.
