Pet care experience

Pets are family members too!

I come from a family of German Shepherd dog breeders and have been with and taken care of dogs, cats, chickens and goats my entire life. I have raised at least 4 litters since adulthood and performed obedience training as well. I have taken care of all ages and several different breeds of dogs. I work from home and perform various errands throughout the day, I personally let my dog Kylie out at least 6 times a day and go on 2 walks. I have two dogs in my home, and a unfenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. I have crating available if it is necessary. Dogs and cats are welcome. Big or small. For one day or for an entire week.

Ben is the best. He is super flexible and always sends us the cutest photos of our crew while we’re away. Ben is also a person that really understands and considers animal behaviors - he requested to visit us again before we left to make sure our shepherd mix would remember him. And of course, she did! :) thanks for your help and consideration for our crew, Ben!

Ben was awesome. Communication was fantastic and we loved seeing photos of the fur babies while we were away. :)

A typical day

I usually go on 1 to 2 walks a day with my dogs and your dogs will join the pack. I let the dogs out upwards of 8 times a day to go outside, get some sun, and do a little run. My neighborhood is very peaceful and relaxing for anxious dogs.

If possible let me know about the eating habits for your dog, food aggression, barking, separation anxiety, and how they can deal with other dogs.
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.
