Pet care experience

I have many years of experience in pet care. I own 3 pitties and I ran S&B Petcare with my wife where we specialized in "Bully" and large breed dogs (Great Danes, German Shepherd, Pit bulls, Boxers, Huskys etc.) We received over 100 five star reviews. We did everything from drop ins, to walks, and even a Wedding! Now offering house sitting, pet visits and dog walking services. Space is limited so book quickly. I send photo or video updates of your pet and Field Trips ( Pet Smart, Stony Point etc.) Great for socialization where applicable Exercise and Potty- have a calm, happy pet, and no "accidents" when you arrive home. Happy to help out with any animals so please message me if you have any questions.

Exceeded expectations! Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with lots of pictures and updates that gave me peace of mind. I came home to a very happy pup, which says it all. I would absolutely book again!

If you need someone amazing, kind, thoughtful, and truly knowledgeable about dogs, Bruce is your guy. He did an incredible job taking care of our dog, Mantle. He took the old guy out for walks, made sure he got his medicine, and gave him so much love and attention. Mantle is definitely going to miss Bruce when we get home! Shoutout to you, Bruce — the world needs more people like you. ❤️🐾

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.
