Safety, trust & environment

I am good with cats and dogs of all sizes, and I am willing to accommodate any special needs. My own cat has separation anxiety, and so I understand how much attention some pets need. I am more than happy to spend quality time with cats and dogs.

Information Dale O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs (such as medical needs) or behavioral issues. I am comfortable administering medications, and I have experience dealing with anxious cats and dogs. Basically, I am very accommodating, so don’t be afraid to fill me in.

A typical day

Playtime is an important part of any pet sitting service (unless the owner says otherwise). I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs, such as by tossing their favorite toys around. I enjoy going for long walks, and I’m willing to take dogs for walks into Prospect Park. I am also content to simply sit and pet a cat or dog if calm and quiet attention is what they need.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for cats and dogs my whole life. I see pets as individuals with individual needs, and I aim to give each one the attention he or she deserves.

Dale is great with our cat! I think she looks forward to us leaving just so they can hang out!

Dale watched Luna and Weller for a long weekend, and we truly appreciated his attentiveness and consistent communication throughout our drop-in visits. He took the time to ask thoughtful questions about how we direct our dogs and what they’re used to on walks — which gave us real peace of mind knowing he’d handle them the way we do.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Dale was a fantastic sitter for our kitty! He was super resourceful when there was an issue with our door on the first day. Dale is a great communicator and often shared notes and pictures that made me smile and laugh. I had no doubt Lucy was well taken care of and entertained! We plan to use him again in the future when we need a sitter.

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.
