Through out my life; I’ve had all sorts of jobs from construction, handyman work, to caregiving for special needs and pet caregiver as well. I recently traveled to help volunteer with “Save a Turtle” we rescued green sea turtles. It was a wonderful experience. Since I can remember; I’ve had pets ranging from parrots, cats, dogs, chickens, turtles, fish, snakes, ducks, turkeys, honey bees, as well as a pot belly pig named Buddy who thought He was a dog! All dogs come in all shapes and sizes and I love them all. It fascinates me how each dog has something to offer whether it’s a hug, a lick or a bark - they all have something special and unique about them. Each dog has a different personality too. I can honestly say I remember every pet I’ve had as a guest at my house through Rover. Each one was special. I’ve helped family and friends in need over the years with their pets and still continue to do so. I’ve taken in rescue animals of all sorts over the years. I am retired and am home 24/7 day and night. I really enjoy this and it brings happiness to me. I’d love to have your pet over as a guest in my home. In addition to my pet sitting services - I can do long term boarding. You can book last minute or even months in advance for your pets. I have an organized schedule. When dogs are my guests I take care of them, feed them, comfort them, play, pet and hug them and bring them out for potty breaks as well as walk them every 2-3 hours using a leash at all times, etc. As for my roommate Carolyn - she likes to take photos of the dogs from a different perspective and she also sits and plays with the dogs. I feel this is a good balance and a win win situation where the dogs get love and attention from both of us like when they’re home. I also have cameras set up in every room of my house - so I can see what’s going on if I’m walking from one room to another. I feel it’s imperative to keep pet owners informed every 2-3 hours with photos, videos and information on how and what their pet is doing. I have no problem with pet owners contacting me anytime to ask how their pet is doing. 🤗 Please let me know while your pet is in my home if you’d like one or two updates or every few hours of updates, photos and videos. You might have noticed and questioned why one of my scores is low when all the other scores are high. Due to a technical error that occurred with a dog walking booking on Rover which couldn’t be fixed it caused the score for dog walking to be a false low reading. If you’d like to speak to the person of reference who tried to leave a good review about my walking her dog Louie - you may call her. She would be glad to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for understanding my situation. Please don’t hesitate to ask and I will give you her number when you request it. If you are a repeat client and are going to make a reservation for my pet sitting I’d be glad to honor my original daily rate $ from our first booking reservation etc. In addition - I locked the original booking rate for my repeat clients so prices never go up. As you can see some of my Rover rates have increased over the past year. If you have more than one dog or combination of cats and dogs to be cared for I’d be glad to give a group discounted price. Thank you so much
