Dog whisperer with fenced yard

Pet care experience

I have 15 years of dog training experience using a positive approach to improve undesirable behavior, including separation anxiety, excessive barking, aggression, and more. I study the personality of the dog to determine the best course of action. Great with first aid, medication and all over care. I have a fenced yard and a large deck off the back door that dogs love to lounge on. I have dog gates in the house to separate dogs as necessary. Dogs are welcome to sleep on couches, beds or wherever they are comfortable. I have friends and neighbors who participate in keeping your dog active and happy. I have a wade pool for keeping cool in summer months and balls for playing fetch. I am available for boarding and training and I look forward to meeting you and your dog.

we go to Bob each month and my dogs could not be happy or better cared for. I have no worries or concerns leaving them which makes my travel so much easier and stress free!

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.
