Information Darlene H. would like to know about your pet

If there is allergies, food restriction, and medical concerns, and medications/vitamins that needs to be administer. Is your pup food/toy aggressive? Certain behaviors or quirks I should be aware of. Just their daily routine, about his/her personality, what are your rules at home so I can follow the same protocol, and when to feed him/her. Also, like to know if your pup vaccinations are up to date? Please provide vet hospital/office and emergency contact. Thank you

A typical day

Giving your pets lots of love and attention by spending time at the clients home during my drop in. Ensuring their pets are feed, water bowls filled and cleaned. If pet(s) needs their daily medication, I will provide that.

Darlene is amazing! She took our pup Ollie on his first Rover walk today and we can tell he had so much fun! We look forward to booking more walks with her.

Darlene was amazing! She picked up my pet sitting job last minute and treated my fur babies as if they were her own. I highly recommend her services!

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.
