Information Donald G. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know your dog's eating habits and their activity level. Does your dog graze all day for food or will it be fine with a scheduled time to eat. Does your dog do well outside, does it like to dig or is it destructive if bored. How often is your dog crated and where does your dog sleep at night.

A typical day

Between my fenced in yard that your dog will be able to play anytime with mine in the backyard, and the multiple walks per day that we will take, your dog will go home happy and tired.

Pet care experience

I’ve take care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I currently have a 7 year old light yellow lab who is very friendly and I rescued a lab/beagle mix who was afraid of everything that now loves to play with other dogs of all types, but still has a fear of children.

Ernie always comes home tired and happy. Donald is usually available on short notice. Ernie likes a lot of attention and he gets it at Donald‘s house. He has helped us out a lot in last-minute situations. I highly recommend this sitter.

Donald was great with helping Ginger adjust and get comfortable staying away from home. He sent many updates, photos and videos, so we could see how she was getting along. He was very responsive with messages. Ginger had a great stay and settled in well!

My pups were comfortable staying with Don. They had a blast playing with his dogs and I knew they were well taken care of. We will definitely be using his services in the future!

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.
