Pet care experience

Dog owner and lover :)

I have had a dog in the house since I was born. The first dog adopted in my family was a rescue mix named Bosco. The second dog we adopted was a sheepdog spaniel mixed named Arlo. The current dog that we have and adopted in 2020 is a 6 year old rescue blue heeler, chihuahua mix. Every dog I have adopted has had a unique personality. Getting to know each individual personality is a strong suit of mine as I love to bond with each pet uniquely as they all truly have their own needs and wants that need to be adapted to. :)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am used to dogs that require high energy but also love to care for dogs with lower energy too! My pup at home is a high energy dog that requires lots of physical activity and loves to play while staying mentally involved! However, if your dog just needs a companion and some tummy rubs, I would love to provide that too :)

I highly recommend Calista as a pet caregiver. Calista owns a rescue dog named Mylo and one of her favorite things to do is walk him. Calista works as a physical therapist and is currently away on a travel contract. She deeply misses her walks with Mylo. Rover would be a great way to fill this void!

I have seen first hand how caring and loving that Calista is towards dogs. She truly treated my dog, my best friend, Ellie, like her own while she was in her care. I would trust my Ellie with her anytime. She is experienced in caring for dogs and takes the time to learn and accommodate their individual needs. Thank you Calista !

I am a travel physical therapist from NY! I’m on a temporary contract here in SC, and I would love to care for your pup as I miss my buddy Mylo who is my family dog back in NY. My schedule would allow me to care for your pup some weekday mornings, abd some evenings depending on the weekday. I am available both weekend days all day! :)
