Information Daja D. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what commands your dog listens to, if they are treat, pet or toy motivated, if they are shy or energetic and anything you think might be important for me to know (ex. some dogs need to hear classical music to be able to go to sleep).

A typical day

A tired dog is a happy dog. I love going for runs/hikes with dogs, allowing for them to sniff as much as they would like along with strengthening commands during the walks (using either treats or toys as motivators).

Pet care experience

I’m a young professional who grew up with doberman pinschers and in Mt. Airy. Used to running miles with dogs in the Wissahickon. Very excited to care for and have dogs in my life again.

Daja was phenomenal with my pup Samson! Daja was very easy to coordinate with and was super communicative about how Samson was doing. My pup left with a smile on his face, so I will be rebooking with Daja in the future!!

Truly smooth, easy, and pleasant. Daja was responsive, helpful, and my Puddin was happy and safe. Will be requesting to hook with her again!

Daja took the best care of my dog while I was on vacation! She was very commutative and sent daily pictures. He was very well taken care of while I was gone!

Daya watched my dog Zumi when I was in town. She sent lots of pictures and I could tell Zumi was very happy. They went in lots of walks. Daya was great with communication; it was easy to coordinate drop off and pickup. Next time I’m in town I will definitely reach out to Daya again!

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.
