Information Amanda O. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate any information that you feel like I need to know in order for your dog to have a pawsitive time during your time away. It could includes their likes, dislikes, behaviors, temperament on and off leash and their typical level of activity or schedule.

A typical day

I tend to love to go outside, explore new places and let them have the opportunity to tour new areas. I can do either longer hikes in the woods or shorter neighborhood walks. I also love to play games including fetch with a ball or frisbee, tug a war, or just to jog around in their yard. I can bring along dog puzzles to get their mental stimulation.

Pet care experience

I pawsitively love animals and have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, turtles and lizards since I was very young. As an adult, I adopted a shelter puppy and trained him myself. He's my best friend and we like to be very active. Denali and I love to hike, walk, play in the snow, visit the dog beach, and go to the dog park. He is very well socialized and meets many friends when we go on outings together. I am currently studying to become a certified dog trainer and will be getting certified in Pet First Aid and CPR.

Amanda was great! She was consistent and made sure my cats had everything they needed. Including taking care of cleaning the cat bowls and picking up after one of them got sick. She gave good updates. Would use again and recommend to others.

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.
