Availability

I work full-time during the week, M-F. I am available to walk dogs from 5pm-9pm during the week. I am also available most weekends since I am off work on the weekends, all day Saturday and on Sundays after Church. I am also available to swing by to check on your fur babies on the weekends or at night during the week after I get off from work, if your family is out of town. I just need at least a 24 hour advance heads up. I serve in the Florida Air National Guard as well, those weekends will be marked unavailable on my calendar.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a lot of experience with pets, over 20 years. I have experience with indoor and outdoor dogs, my most recent dog was indoor, she was potty trained, leashed trained, crate trained, and well behaved though she had her moments like we all do. Animals love me tbh because of my heart, they sense a good person. I am flexible, willing to work with the owners of the dog, and to do what needs to be done to ensure that their dogs are taken care of with love and care.

Information Ben S. would like to know about your pet

Routines, number of dog scoops per meal, unusual behaviors, anything that I might need to know that your dog might be used to. I would prefer to try to keep their routines the same as much as possible.

A typical day

I am located near the Westgate Park in Dothan. Additionally, I stay at the Cottages. The neighborhood is a nice little community to walk around and it has its own dog park.

Ben was wonderful! He was very responsive and I’m sure my dog had a great time with him.

Ben met us promptly at 4 for a meet and greet. He determined our dog was friendly, and stated firmly " I can watch your dog she is friendly." We dropped our dog off at 1230. We sent over 6 messages to get a status and to let him know when to feed our dog. He did not respond to any messages. 730, we called Rover. They could not get in touch with Ben either. We had to leave the wedding we were attending early due to our concern. When we arrived at 830, lights were out, we could see our dog in the window. The door was unlock, Ben was asleep in his room. We collected our items, including all her dog food we left for her for dinner. RECOMMEND ROVER TEAM, conduct an on-site evaluation of this sitter. If a client had a special needs pet I am not confident this sitter could execute specialty care that may be required. Communication verbal or written was challenging.

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.
