Information Darlene R. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet have any issues, behavioral needs, or medical needs? How is your pet with other pets? Do you have an alarm at your house that I need a code for?

A typical day

I work from home so my days are open to pet sit and walk. There is a park nearby, and my neighborhood has sidewalks everywhere. I have asked Rover to update their dog weight categories, especially the 40-100 lbs. i feel i can handle 40-60lbs but over that has become difficult.

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.
