Pet care from a pre-vet student!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Dennis and I am currently a Junior at the University of San Diego. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and I currently have 2 dogs of my own back home in Connecticut (1 rescue and 1 German Shepherd). I worked as a Veterinary assistant for 6 months, shadowing a veterinarian at a mobile practice. I have also dog-sat and dog-walked numerous times in high school. I am very good with dogs and haven't met a single one that doesn’t like me! I have missed having a companion in college, but my life as a student makes it difficult to own a dog full time. Therefore, it would be perfect to care for someone’s pooch while they are away! I can assure you that I will treat your dogs with the same love and attention that I give my own! My apartment is spacious and I am about a 5 minute walk from the beach. I also live 5 minutes from the dog beach and dog park if you are comfortable with your dog going there!

Dennis did an amazing job taking care of my dog Buddy! You can tell he has a way with dogs and treats them with love and kindness. Would definitely trust him to watch my pup again.

This was our first Rover experience and we had to find someone last minute for our puppy Boshi! Dennis was perfect because of the major points that we needed: only one client at a time, accepted non neutered males, and had fenced yard. And a major plus was that Dennis is a pre-vet student! ? This was all needed because of our 14 week male puppy. We got text updates on Boshi as well. We were nervous since it was our first time to use Rover but Dennis made it so nice! Will be a repeated client of Dennis for needed weekend sitter for sure! :)

Information Dennis H. would like to know about your pet

I dont have any breed preferences. I would like to know their feeding habits, any anxieties/medical conditions the dog may have, and if they are on any medications.

A typical day

Although I don’t have a yard, I am extremely active and will be taking your dogs on at least 3 walks a day. If your dog is very active, then I will take them for an occasional run around the neighborhood. I also live close to the dog beach so we can take trips there if you are comfortable with that! I will send you updates on how your dog is doing and what we have been up to throughout your time away.
