Pet care experience

My House is Your Dog's House!

Very close to several parks and off-leash areas including Sewall Crest, Laurelhurst Park, and Hosford School. About this sitter: I have always been around dogs from childhood on. I grew up in a dog friendly household. My sister is an ace vet. and I've learned a lot from her over the years. I have done a lot of pet and house sitting recently and have been for thanked for keeping a clean house as well as attentive pet care. I also have a strong background in plant care and don't mind keeping an eye on your house plants and outdoor garden - in fact I enjoy it! I am self-employed and work on the computer a lot, so I can keep myself occupied if your pet is napping. And if your beloved animal is not a napper, I have plenty of energy to give your pet a lot of walks and runs. I'm an active person myself and frequently go on adventures both near and afar and welcome canine companionship. Why I love dog sitting Dog Lover since childhood. My sister is an ace Vet., which comes in handy for advice. Currently have a mature Italian Greyhound/Lab mix. About my pets My wonderful dog of many years passed away and I haven't found another one yet - she's a tough act to follow. That being said, I really enjoy having canine companionship in the house these days. About my yard Backyard is small and fenced. I walk my own dog three times a day.

Dan is the very, very best. He has cared for our two dogs on multiple occasions. Our dogs love him and go willingly and happily, wagging their tails, when we drop them off.

Dan was very nice and sent updates of our dog throughout the weekend. He was also very flexible with pickup and drop off times.

Dan did a great job but $267 is too much for a 6 lb dog for 3 days…also, poor interface. It’s very confusing as to whether you have an agreement or not. I won’t be using rover again.
