Pet care experience

Mature and works 100% remote

I grew up with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 6 goldfish, and 2 parakeets. I have cared for multiple animals including cats, large dogs, young dogs, and older dogs. I realize all animals have their own personalities and need to be appreciated for their unique differences.

Safety, trust & environment

I have kept dogs in my home for friends and family. Being in another person's home is a big responsibility. I strongly believe in respect for private property and treating another persons possessions better than I would my own. I'm offering to stay in homes of pet owners because I realize pets are calmer in their usual surroundings.

As always, Dale is an exemplary pet and house sitter. He cares for our dog, noting every little thing she does so he can report back to me. He doesn't hesitate to care for anything around our house that we ask of him. We enjoy our interactions with Dale.

Dale must have done something so right and loving with our Maltese that shortly after he left, and my husband and I were unpacking from our trip, we could hear our dog howling and looking upstairs as if wanting DALE! That's great service!

Does the dog have anxiety triggers? (One of my sister's dogs was deeply frightened by thunder.) Is the dog is restricted to feeding at certain times? Is the dog allowed to have treats? How does the dog behave around other animals and children we might encounter on walks?
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.
