Safety, trust & environment

I have spent the last two years nursing, among others, a senior cat who needs medicine and as much food as he asks for. It is a pleasure to connect with him and give him the love he deserves in his remaining time. I am unable to host animals at my residence, as I have an older cat who becomes inconsolable when another pet is brought into the home, and do not wish to stress her unnecessarily. I regularly play with, walk, and feed the dogs that are in my life, and adjust the length of walks to the capacity and energy of the dog.

Hello! It's lovely to meet you!

Pet care experience

I have been lucky enough to grow up with dogs my entire life, and have regularly dog-sat for puppies, seniors, and anything in between! This includes ensuring that puppies recieve their de-worming medication and that seniors receive their medicine on-time and feel comfortable under my care. I am also experienced in making sure that dogs who do not get along yet stay in the same household remain separate from eachother, so long as the hous can accommodate such a need! If your dog needs food, walks, or just a friend to keep company while you are away, let me know!

Drake is great. When my dog sitter didn’t show up for a 4 day stay, he came to the rescue and was at my house in a short time. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone who loves dogs and is responsible

This is my first time using Rover or requesting dog sitting and I wasn’t sure if someone would care for not 2, but 3 little dogs for one day… especially my first dog who barks anlot and is reactive a lot to the point when I worry he may not like anyone except family. Well, color me surprised when Drake came to meet and great the day before the booking and my 1yr Chipin took a quick liking to him and the other two! Drake was very professional and kept me up to date on the dogs and didn’t hesitate to ask questions and reply in a timely manner . He respected not only me, but my dogs and home. He was very flexible if something came up on my end and I appreciate the photo updates of my dogs snuggling up with him because I knew they were taken well care for. Thank you again and I will definitely hire again!

Drake came to meet our 2 yr old rambunctious 80 pound dog and they became fast friends. Drake is easy to communicate with and responds within a reasonable amount of time. Drake “knows” dogs. He knew our guy was still young and learning so his manners may need reinforcement…and did so patiently. I would DEFINITELY have Drake for our sitter without hesitation!

Drake was great to have as a house sitter for our two pups. At the initial meeting the dogs went right up to him. He spent some time getting to know them. While we were gone Drake would text anytime he had a question. Hire him for any dog care you may have

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.
