Currently unemployed, after summer break my weekdays will be open until I find a job so I'm pretty available. Preferably Weekdays after 9 and before 3 (2 on Mondays). I can work with some evening 4-9 as well. Down to discuss other times, I'd really like to keep caring for animals and training dogs.

Information Coal B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know as soon as possible about any special care your pet may need. Clear and concise instructions. If you could walk me through any special processes the first time I would appreciate it.

A typical day

I thoroughly enjoy communicating with dogs. It makes for fun play time (or training!) and keeps their mind active and feeling social. Walks and play time are a couple of my favorite areas to work on communication. They also provide lots of sniffs and stimulation.

Pet care experience

I've lived with and around animals all my life. I've learned to communicate with them in a way I suppose. Helped out a lot with being a dog trainer. I'm very good with puppies!

Coal is a natural with animals. He has been filling in for my regular dog walker for the last month. He is personable, knowledgable and best of all my lab loved him. He responded quickly to requests or texts and kept me notified as well. Would highly recommend him.

I’ve known Coal for over 13 years and have seen him with his own personal cat and with mine. He does inhaler for his cat and can pill him with ease, making him great for chronic medication cats. In general, cats just flock to him, they all love him and you know that’s a big thing with cats. As for dogs, he hasn’t owned one himself, but he would help care for his mom’s and sister’s dogs, one an anxious girl would didn’t like men except for Coal. While going on walks, dogs that are normally “not very social” would happily approach Coal and there would be no growling or barking. Something about him just soothes animals.

Coal is a trustworthy and a reliable worker who places pets’ needs first, always! He is wonderful with animals and as a credentialed dog trainer himself, he knows exactly how to care for your pet. Trust Coal as your pet sitter/dog walker! Coal is super social, positive, and carries with him an upbeat attitude and caring disposition!

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.
