Safety, trust & environment

I make safety a priority so I prefer not let your dog interact with other dogs because I never know how either will act! I always want your pets in a comfortable environment to minimize stress so they will be happy and healthy in my care.

Information Don B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about their personality and anything that would upset them. And of course any medical conditions I need to be aware about. My best friend is a veterinarian so I always can run medical questions by her when I am unsure.

A typical day

I love running so if your pup likes more than a walking pace I would be happy to strap on running shoes and let them get out their energy!

Pet care experience

I've gotten a ton of experience on my time on Rover, as the reviews and repeat clients can attest. I've had over 150 clients in the 3 years I've been a Rover sitter. Rover keeps track of sitter performance and reliability, which is why I appear high on the list of sitters. I take pride in being reliable and creative in dealing with any issues so you can enjoy your time away without worry.

Don is the best pet and house sitter ever! Most importantly, our dog loves him and I know she’s well-cared for. Don sends updates and photos about how she’s doing and takes great care of our house.

Don helped us out last minute which we were so thankful for. He has great communication and updated us often. Our pets take a while to get used to someone, but they really seem to like Don!

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.
