Information Archana R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the temperament, age, breed, if spayed/neutered, how they react with people and other dogs, feeding schedule, and if they're up to date on shots.

A typical day

I will go on walks around the communities, and there are a lot of friendly dogs around. We would play inside or outside depending on weather and needs or go to town centers where we can just walk.

Pet care experience

I have been a dog lover all my life and I have been dog sitting for family and friends for the past 12 years. I had a gorgeous golden retriever, Romeo, for 10 years until he sadly passed away in 2023. My parents currently have the most rambunctious golden teenager, who we call the flying dog, who I frequently babysit and train. I know how to take care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I would take the dog(s) on walks two to three times a day or based on requests by owners.

We had a fantastic repeat experience with Archana! Great communicator and she takes the time to understand and humor Marigold’s preferences!

Archana was amazing. She checked in and reported progress throughout the day with Mochi. Our puppy seemed comfortable, and happy with Archana. Highly recommend.

Archana and her husband took great care of Ollie! He was anxious at drop-off, but they were patient and helped him feel comfortable right away. We loved the frequent updates and could tell he was happy and well cared for.

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.
