Former Mailman Who Loves Pets!

I have taken care of and loved pets all my life. Have always had either a cat or dog, with the exception of my time in the military. Was a mailman for over 20 years and always was friendly to people’s pets. It must have worked because I was never bitten. They always looked forward to the treats I would bring. I have not owned dogs since the las of our dogs passed away eight years ago. Both of our last two dogs were special needs dogs. One was a border collie mix with severe arthritis and the other had epilepsy. Both were on regular medication regimens.

House Sitting • Mar 20, 2026

I was really concerned about finding someone my furry gang would like and get along with well. After meeting Gary, I felt more comfortable. After I left town, I was surprised to get pictures and updates on the fur gang. It really made me feel better knowing they were in such caring hands. When I got home, everything and everyone were in absolutely perfect condition. I'm so impressed with how quickly I was able to find such a top notch caregiver. I will definitely use him again, and I would highly recommend him! Thank you so very much!

I have lots of experience dealing with special needs pets. Both of the dogs we had most recently had to have regular medication. One had pretty bad arthritis which was only controlled by medication and the other was epileptic and required two daily meds to keep her seizures less frequent.
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.
