I have lots of experience of looking after dogs for friends, family and Rover clients. I have cared for many different breeds, ranging from Alaskan Malamutes and German Pointers, to Labradors and Rhodesian Ridgebacks! As well as dog sitting through Rover, I also have experience of volunteering at a local dog shelter. I like the variety of looking after different breeds- high energy dogs, cuddly dogs, reactive dogs - and every dog sitting experience is unique and interesting. I do look after cats as well, but unfortunately the market for cat-sitting isn't nearly as big! Hence my photo gallery on here mostly being pictures of dogs, but I'm always open to more cat-sitting requests. I'm happy to take on long pet-sitting jobs- I have completed several 1 week and 2 week jobs so far, and I am already booked in for a 4 week dog-sit next year! I have always liked animals, and I have experience of owning and caring for many small pets- these include rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs and fish. I am someone who is very conscientious, and always likes to do a thorough job. When I meet dog owners I will always make written notes of all their requirements(feeding schedule, walk times/lengths, sleeping routine etc) and make sure they are followed daily. I am mature and responsible, and as well as being a great dog-sitter I like to think I make a good house sitter too! I will keep the place tidy, take in deliveries, be sensible with energy usage, wash the dishes, water your plants, put the bins out, and collect your post(as well as making sure it's kept safely out of reach from your pets!)
