Information Bret H. would like to know about your pet

I like to find out as much about your pet as possible before providing care. Factors such as boarding experience, social behaviors, medical conditions, and feedback from other caregivers help to determine if they're a good fit.

A typical day

Your dog will get plenty of fresh air & exercise with up to 4 walks per day. I put every pet onto a regular routine to help keep them busy and active, while minimizing separation anxiety.

Bret was great! Very thorough and understanding of our cats needs. He is very knowledgeable about Rover and cats, we felt very satisfied with him watching out cats while we were away!

Bret was fabulous! We have never had someone stay at our home and watch our dog so I was a little nervous at first. He was wonderful and I would definitely use him again for future trips. Our house was just as we left it and our dog was very content. He sent lots of updates and photos which was much appreciated!

Bret is extremely knowledgeable about cats and dogs, and takes such great care of our three. He often gives us better pet care advice than our Vet! Trustworthy and reliable, he's our 'go to' pet person.

Bret is great, he had all patience with my scared girl. He gave us tips and also listened to all our concerns.

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.
