Information Chad A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special accommodations or medications your dog needs. I will gladly follow along with their current schedule while you are away.

I will have daily activities playing fetch, or walking around the neighborhood to help burn off some excess energy. A tired dog is a happy dog.

Pet care experience

I work from home and I have a rescue we took in about 6 years ago named Sandy. I can take your pup for a run or just play with them in the back yard. I also have a doogie door your pooch is free to use. Sandy is very friendly and loves playing - he will play all day if you dog wants to. However, he is not dominant and will leave your pup alone if they don’t want to play. Your doggie will get lots of attention and love while you are gone. I do have two daughters age 10 & 12 however they are not always home on the weekends. I have also taught them the boundaries of being around pets. As pet lover myself, I understand the difficulty of finding someone to care for your pet. Please know your pet will be cared for as I care for my own.

Chad and his family always take great care of my pup! It’s also an added benefit their dog, Sandy, is around so my dog gets to socialize a bit.

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.
