I am a compassionate former shelter worker who has dealt with a little bit of everything. Caring for animals is one of my main concerns in life, as I have owned dogs of every size, shape, and temperament in my life. Through the shelter, I worked with many scared or "off" dogs. I also have cat and small animal experience if you have other animals in your home! When I stay overnight in someone's home to sit, I treat their home as my home base for that time. Your animals will only be alone for my work day and if I need to run any errands. I work a full time job outside of Rover so I am gone for 9 hour windows of time. Sometimes they are odd hours so you may have to supplement my care with someone else for potty breaks. Since I treat your home as my home base while you're away, they receive the same care and attention as when you're home! I tend to talk to the animals, so we have a running (albeit one sided) conversation going. Whenever there is time, I incorporate walks. I spend as much time in your home with your animals I can. When I have a day off from my job outside of Rover, I will probably spend 80% of the day in your home. These days, I can pay special attention to them as we platy fetch, go for walks, lounge, or whatever else your dog (and other pets) would like to do!
