Information Doug P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I should account for so I can do my best to make their day fun!

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy long walks with lots of stops for sniffing and we often meet other dogs along the way. At home, we can play tug or fetch, or just enjoy long naps in a sunny window or on the sofa.

Doug did a great job with our corgi Frisbee. It was a last minute booking and he did everything to make it work. Took great care of Frisbee and sent photos. His dog Dingo is very sweet!

This was our first time with Rover, and it was a huge success. Dough made it easy for us, his setup is great, his communication is easy, and our dog was as comfortable there as she is at our own home.

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.
