Pet care experience

Retired, full time for your dog.

I am retired, have trained and shown dogs for over fifty years, live in a condo with one sheltie and one cat. I like to sit ONE dog at a time so it can have special one on one attention. Special arrangements can be made with two dogs that are from the same family. My floors are tile and I sterilize them between visits. I do NOT have a fenced yard but we have a 20 x 80 fenced dog run right outside my back door and we walk every two to three hours and once during the night. Since I am retired, I can be with your dog 24/7 with small exceptions. The dogs are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. I do insist that dogs be house trained and crate trained since we feed in crates or crate them if I have to be away. If you want personal care and attention for your dog, we would love to supply that service. We do NOT do meet and greets. We find that those brief encounters simply put stress on my dogs and yours. I take about an hour when a dog has arrived to acclimate him safely and comfortably. I only care for small dogs, under 30 pounds, and no puppies.

Dorothy, was great with our dog, she sent us pictures and updates each day our dog was with her. Our dog got along with her dogs and cats and had a great time.

Pets

A typical day

I only have one guest at a time (with very few exceptions). Since I am retired, my days are organized around the dogs, our walks, our training periods, our naps. . They are welcome to sleep on furniture and/or beds whenever they choose. Our walks are through our neighborhood where they get an opportunity to interact with other many retired, elderly neighbors who love the visits as do the dogs.. They also can play in our fenced 20 x 80 run.

0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Dorothy can host up to 1 dog per day
I would need to know the breed, sex, spayed or neutered, weight, age, disposition of the guest. All dogs must have proof of current vaccinations and have current flea/tick prevention. They must be housetrained. No pee pads or diapers.
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.
