Dog's Best Friend! :)
Pet care experience
I have been pet sitting and walking dogs since I was young. I grew up around dogs and horses, and have experience in basic training skills. I typically have to resist the urge to pet any dogs I see. I love all dogs, no matter the shape or size, I just love them. Having grown up with a variety of breeds, I'm comfortable with all them. Dogs are my absolute favorite animals, horses too! :) Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Our first dog was a collie mix named Brandy, followed by a Lab named Archie. When I grew up and moved out of my childhood home, I fostered a Saint Bernard named Brutus, and adopted Oliver two years ago. About my yard The backyard is completely fenced in by a six food wooden fence. There's a seating area that consists of concrete in addition to landscaping which has non-toxic drought resistant plants. The majority of the yard is shaded by two large trees that loom overhead. My experience administering medication Yes, I have pet-string dogs before that required medication.
Reviews
Claudia was really great with my pup. They had 2 great walks together and it was perfect.
Claudia took care of pet and kept her alive while I was away, but it was clear that she didn't stay at my house as we agreed, and only dropped it to feed / let my dog outside. There was actually a dust spot on my bed where my dog didn't move from the entire week I was away I wasn't happy with the dust spot , as that is not normal, and wouldn't use her in the future for house sitting. She was friendly, just not a good house / dog sitter in my experience,
Claudia always is professional and takes good care of our pets.
We enjoyed a relaxing 2 week vacation knowing our pet was well-cared for by Claudia. We are so glad we found her through Rover and feel confident recommending her to anyone.

Information Claudia F. would like to know about your pet
Most importantly I would like to know about some of the behavioral characteristics of the dog (friendly with other dogs, people, children).
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I live below Eaton Canyon, which is a great place for hiking and I usually like to take the dogs there. I'll also take the dog for walks around the neighborhood too since it's got sidewalks. There's also a park down the street from where I live, which is fun for the dogs to visit. Occasionally, with permission form the owner of course, there's a great dog park in La Crescenta that I'd be more than happy to take them to, provided the dog plays nice with others and the owner is comfortable with that. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Our dogs have always slept indoors, and your dog is more than welcome to join. We've always had indoor dogs, no matter the size, big or small. :) Time I'll spend with your dog I will be with your dog(s) for the entire time they are with me. Time I'll spend with your dog If I'm house sitting I will stay with your dog for the entire time, with the exception of running an errand or two, which would be no longer than an hour or two. I really enjoy dog sitting and should your dog(s) require 100% round the clock care and supervision, I'm happy to do so. Extra house-sitting services Sure, happy to provide water for house plants (interior and exterior) and bring in the mail and other house oriented tasks.
