Eevee really enjoyed spending e weekend with his new sitter David. My dog really enjoys being around other dogs so this was really fun playtime for him. I hope to book Eevee with him again in the future.

David was great with my emotionally needy pup and clearly understood dog dynamics. Seeing Delta and another dog snuggle up together was not something I had expected to see pictures of, but she seemed to do well when left with a stranger for a week.

Schedule

I am currently volunteering part time with Thurston County animal services, which allows me a lot of time do walk, play and board your dog.

Safety, trust & environment

I exclusively practice positive reinforcement with all dogs I encounter. You get better results by treating animals with respect, understanding and kindness. My yard is fenced and safe too. All I ask is that you let me know if the dog is a digger or escape artist so I can plan accordingly.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes walking, playing in backyard and whatever the dog desires. Twice daily feeding (unless told otherwise) I try to provide a restful, low stress environment in an effort to reduce any feeling of separation anxiety.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs/requirements so that the dog gets the best care possible. If the dog is a digger/escape artist, I need to know so I can keep a close eye on it.
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.
