If I'm staying at a client's home, I treat it like my own, and try to leave it even better than when I started my stay.

Information Carl E. would like to know about your pet

I want to know the habits of your pets and what makes them comfortable when you're gone. Feeding, eating, walking schedule are all important. Any medications or special diets are also important.

A typical day

Usually I walk around your neighborhood as it's a half-hour walk and I don't want to waste time driving. If you wanted me to take him/her to a park, then paying for two halves would make more sense. For visits, there'd be lots of playtime, petting, indoor fetch and feeding if needed.

Pet care experience

Hi, I live near Alston Park in Napa. I’m a retired teacher from Yountville Elementary School (I taught there for twenty-two years) and a couple other schools. This summer ‘06, I'm mostly looking to do dog/house sits in the Napa area (I'm currently not taking Sonoma jobs). I'm also doing day visits and walks for dogs. I also have many cat clients. I have a seven year old golden retriever named Ollie, and he loves coming over for puppy play and socialization if you'd like that (he doesn't come with me on overnights). Besides my part-time pet care business, I’m a member of Napa Search and Rescue Team (which means I've had a through background check by the Napa Sheriffs' office in addition to the Rover check. It would be a pleasure to meet you and your dog/cat for a meet and greet in the future. Sincerely, Carl Elias

Carl was great! He was able to help me with a last minute walk. He was very communicative, showed up exactly when he said he would, and took really good care of my two babies. I’ll be using him again!

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.
