Information Donna E. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. Does the dog have allergies? Are there any medical needs I should know about? Does your dog get along with other dogs? Are their shots up to date? Do they have a habit of chewing things? Do they bark excessively?

A typical day

Walks are in my neighborhood. We go to the doggy park or beach on occasion. We play fetch, or just sit outside. I run and active dogs are welcomed to come along. They are fed according to owners instructions and/or given medications as needed.

Pet care experience

For 12 years I’ve had the honor of caring for my 86 lb. Pitty named Shadow, who enjoyed a very rich and healthy life. Shadow is now in doggy Heaven, but had the very best life any dog could ask for. Shadow was a very active & playful dog who enjoyed our daily runs, walks and playing fetch. I have a lovely pet friendly home and would love to share it with your fur babies when you are in or out of town. I work full time, but get home very early in time to run, walk and play with your dog. I do not work on Sat or Sun so we have all day to enjoy our beautiful Florida weather indoors or outdoors. My yard is fenced in and I typically go for daily walks with the dogs in my care. My home is lovely yet pet friendly and your dog would be welcomed as if it were their own home. I have multiple crates of varying sizes if your dog requires crating, but it is not mandatory while they are here. You can bring your own crate if your baby is more comfortable with what they already know. Also, they can use the potty as often as they like as I usually sit outside with them. My care is superior and my home is safe and friendly. Try me, I promise you will be more than satisfied.

I cannot recommend them enough! They did an excellent job caring for my dogs and made the entire experience stress-free. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and they sent lots of pictures and updates which really helped put my mind at ease. I could tell my dogs had a great time, and there was never a moment where I felt like they were unsafe or not being well cared for. Thank you again for being so super flexible and accommodating throughout everything. I will definitely be booking with them again 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.
