Pet care experience

I love animals!

Throughout my childhood I had golden retrievers. In addition, I have trained 5 dogs to become service animals. Four of the dogs have passed and are now serving people in need. I have 6 years of training dogs to become service animals. Some basic commands that I taught these dogs are: sit, come, rest, and trained them to go to the potty on command.

David took great care of our two senior dogs in our home while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely responsive to check-in inquiries and very accommodating to our dogs’ specific needs. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of excellent care for their pets.

We came home to happy dogs. The only critique is lack of communication during the stay

Before meeting your dog it is important to know how your dog has been socialized and what situations your dog is comfortable with. Also, how active is your dog and how much exercise you prefer your dog to have.
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.
