Information Craig W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any quirky behaviors that could be important, any special care I need to take. Not every dog is the same when their parents aren't home, but I work to build the trust so we can all enjoy our time together.

A typical day

Dog parks are great, if your dog is ok with one, let me know and we can do that together. I enjoy playing with your dog, relaxing with them, and just petting them excessively. :)

I love dogs more than anything!

Pet care experience

I am willing to discuss pricing with you, I'd rather be working full-time, vs not being busy. I've had a puppy and adult dogs too. Every time I see a dog I want to say hi. Big or small doesn't matter, I love all types and temperaments. I can play, go to the dog park if you wish, cuddle and just relax to make your dog comfortable and feel protected while you are away. My goal is to be as neat and clean as you would hope, and would love to talk with you about your expectations and needs. If you want to make a list of care instructons, that works best! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! No dog is too big or too small! Please be aware aggressive or dogs that do "guarding" behavior will not be accepted. I'm fully vaccinated as of Feb 22, 2021. Boosted in September. Plus the other 2 after that :) Omicron and flu shot done too! I've attended a positive training class with my dog, and we passed! I take your pet's care seriously, I try to be with them as much as possible, and bond with each one. It's more fun for both of us if we relax and trust each other. I consider this a round the clock endeavor! My favorite thing is to be there for your dogs. Please let me know how I did when you return. I worry about doing a good job!

Craig was a fantastic sitter for my pup Simon. He’s been having some health issues and Craig was very attentive to them and stayed with him the whole time, sending me lots of updates and communication. I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him. My house was clean and sparkly when I got back and Simon was happy and very well cared for.

Craig is special and treats my dog like his own. He is cordial and always comes on time for walks and visits. I appreciate his flexibility on last-minute changes.

Craig is a wonderful walker. Very attentive to my dog’s needs. He took her on an adventure to a dog park and made sure she had lots of fun.

Great introductory walk and great work with Rosie. Craig was punctual, communicative, and patient while getting to know my girl.

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.
