Pet care experience

I grew up with pets in my house and have had responsibility for special needs animals. Currently have a chihuahua and a Saint Bernard. I am a strong pack leader that understands dogs needs and provides for the a safe and fun environment. I have cared for special needs animals and can administer medication. I have cared for dogs ranging from a 4 pound teacup chihuahua to a 100 plus pound Rottweiler. I will take great care to make sure all of your pets needs are taken care of. A safe environment with fenced in yard and unlimited supervised outdoor playtime is available. If you prefer I can check in on your pet in their own home always remembering that I am entering their territory. Walks provided in a safe residential neighborhood.

As always Brian and his family take such great care of our babies. They always come back so happy. So thankful for the care they provide and always recommend them to friends and family because they truly are the best.

We’ve used Rover many times before and generally had good experiences, but this sitter — a couple we tried for the first time — was an absolute disaster. NEVER AGAIN. 🐾 Overcrowded and Unsafe: There were far too many dogs for one person to manage, most of them much larger breeds. Our French Bulldog was clearly outmatched and vulnerable in that environment. It felt less like a caring home and more like a chaotic, unregulated dog boarding facility. 🚨 Neglectful and Dangerous Care: When we picked up our dog, we were horrified. He had eight puncture wounds to his head, two on his neck, and a large gash on the side of his face — all from being attacked by a much larger dog. The sitter downplayed it as a “scratch during feeding,” but our vet confirmed it was a severe bite attack. 💊 Medication Mishandling: Despite detailed instructions, they over-administered his prescription, causing him to run out of critical medication early. This is not just careless — it’s dangerous. 🏥 No Vet Visit After the Attack: Instead of taking him to a vet, the sitter tried to treat the wounds with peroxide. That’s not just inadequate — it’s irresponsible. A vet visit should have been the bare minimum. 💸 Money Over Care: It was painfully obvious this sitter was watching too many dogs for the money, not for the love of animals. Our dog was neglected, injured, and traumatized. We’re devastated and furious. If you care about your pet’s safety, do not trust this sitter. Rover needs to seriously reevaluate who they allow on their platform — this was not just a bad experience, it was a dangerous one.
