WOOF! Look no further! WOOF!

Pet care experience

My name is Drue, and I love all things dog related. I’ve done quite a bit of dog sitting through rover, it’s great for me because I love all animals, especially dogs, and I get to earn some extra cash on the side. I’m great with higher energy dogs and puppies, I’ve had my fair share of dealings with them and I understand the time commitment they need. Because I've volunteered at animal shelters all my life I'm also very patient with dogs that have anxiety issues and understand what they need to be comfortable in a new setting around a stranger. I love exercise so your pups should be pretty tired after spending Time with me, I’m also very keen on following any owner tasks bestowed upon me (such as dietary specifics/ age specifics). Thanks for taking the time to read through! Please text me a little bit about your dogs temperament when you message! I'm pretty confident with any breed and any temperament so don't hesitate to let me know what you need of me! Extra: I know how to properly preform a heimlich maneuver on small-large dogs (as well as CPR) if ever needed. I also have experience being around a dog that has seizures, and am aware of the correct management during such a situation. (said dog had epilepsy).

Drue was amazing! She sent photos and updates throughout the entire visit. She was even able to accommodate for the unexpected time change for pick up. I would definitely be using her services again when we travel! Thank you again Drue!

Drue was very accommodating and responsive to set up a meet/greet, drop-off and pick-up times. Drue gave Pippa lots of opportunities to play! She came home and slept like a log for the entire next day. Drue's own little fur baby is very friendly as well, and the two made the most of their play date together. I would highly recommend Drue for caring for and loving your pet while you are away.

Information Drue S. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds, especially hound dogs specifically. I have no issue watching a higher energy dog as long as they don’t have an aggression issue. I would want to be aware if a dog has any issues with any other animals( other dogs, dogs on leashes,small creatures, big creatures) or any high reactions to men. I also think it’s important to know if a dog has any specific spots it does not like being touched (tail, feet, belly, etc…). This will all insure I have the best time with the dog.

A typical day

I hike every single day, there is a park right down my road and a lot of hiking trails all over. I try my best to get in a lot of outside time through the day. Please if you book with me make sure to bring some toys and treats for your pup! And if you have a larger breed dog be sure they have a bed that they fit comfortably in.
