I currently have a pup of my own that is walked for over 30+ mins a day, receives medication, and training daily! I am also a dog-foster that will occasionally take in small dogs who need a helping hands before they move onto a home. So my experience variety is wide! And I have lots of free-time to welcome more pets into my heart.

Information Archie M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your dog needs such as a schedule and possibly medications. Any request you may have including bathing, nail clipping, or potty training while away, I can also manage, free of charge. I will work with you to ensure your dog will have a good and structured time whilst you are away!

A typical day

Around 9-10AM Is walk time, followed by breakfast, then typically a second walk an hour or two later. Midday will be full of play and cuddles, from training toys, lickpads, to tug-o-war we'll find something fun to do! Or, if your dog is the more lazy type, we can just lounge on the couch and sleep. If you have a cat or a bunny, playtime or cuddles with naps can still happen. Don't forget a mid-day treat as a snack! Another walk out in the afternoon, even if its just to sniff around and get some good stimulus, we might even go to the park and toss around a ball if you allow it, followed by dinner time! After dinner, will come another walk a few hours later before sleeping sound fully. :)

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m an experienced pet lover with over 10 years of caring for dogs, from new puppies with high energy to lazy senior dogs. I have also spent lots of times with cats and adore all their different personalities from independent to cuddly. My partner is also an avid pet-lover as we often foster together and is in training to be a vet-tech, so he will be at my disposal for emergencies and extra assistance if something were to arise! We often share this account and the responsibilities of pet sitting :) Need potty training? Need a doggy bath? Need a nail clipping? Need a litter box cleaning? Need medicine overnight? I got you while you're away! I know every pet is unique, so please let me know their needs, routines, and quirks. I wanna be there to make sure they feel happy and cared for while in my care according to their fur-parents schedules. Your pet will be treated like family, like my own, because that’s exactly how I see all animals from cats, dogs, even rodents and birds! 🐾 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Archie took very good care of my dog, Ace! Got a lot of good time sunbathing on the balcony or relaxing on the sofa. He was taken out three times a day, pictures/updates were sent to me daily and Archie even bought more male wraps when they ran out and sent me home with the rest!

Excellent care for our senior pup Kenzo. Communication was great, and we always knew how he was doing. Would book again!

Very disappointing experience. I understand that delays happen and schedules can change, but basic communication is expected. The sitter did not show up for the scheduled booking and never responded to my messages. I had to contact Rover support to resolve the issue. Reliability and communication are important when trusting someone to care for your pets, and this sitter showed neither.

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.
