Safety, trust & environment
I will make sure that your dog’s needs are met by showering them with affection, playing with them, making sure they take water breaks, feeding them the appropriate amount, and taking them on lots of walks.
Information Colleen S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs that I should be aware of. Excited to work with both you and your pup!
A typical day
I'll take your pup for nice long walks where they can sniff all the smells in your neighborhood (fun fact, sniffing for dogs is as mentally stimulating as reading the newspaper is for humans!). I'm happy to do puzzles with your dog, and create a makeshift snuffle mat. Belly rubs and scratchies for your fuzzy friend included!

Pet care experience
I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child. I’ve raised my Weimaraner, Púca, from when she was just eight weeks old. Púca means the world to me, and I treat her (and every dog) as such. I enjoy walking and meeting dogs of all breeds, and would love to take care of your pup. Also! I am trans, and go by the name Tim (he/him). Unfortunately, I can't change my name on Rover, so it still shows my deadname. Please refer to me as Tim-- thanks!
Reviews
Tim charmed our pup quickly and impressed us with his calm sensitive approach. Mitzi had never had a dog walker or another caregiver since we adopted her last fall, and has tended to be a bit anxious. It was a very positive experience for all of us. Tim was great about communicating and Mitzi was in fine spirits when we got home.
Tim did a wonderful job house sitting for us over 4th of July weekend. He updated us often and gave our pug a lot of loving. The house was left in impeccable condition. I would 100% book with this sitter again.
Tim did a great job with Carmela! That day she wasn’t feeling very good and took care of her, sent me updates and suggested solutions. Tim is a great communicator
My one-person Maltipoo took to Tim quickly, asking for a belly rub the first time they met. She usually barks at strangers in the house, but was quickly at ease. Tim’s calm, gentle demeanor and obvious love of dogs helped me feel comfortable leaving my pup when I needed to go out of town. And, I think it was a really positive experience for Mitzi too because she has been more relaxed since I got back than she was before my trip!
