I have a fully fenced backyard. Because we have so many bunnies in our area when we build our fence we attached chicken wire to the bottom of the fence and buried the end in the dirt. So even the littlest of pups are safe!

Information Duri S. would like to know about your pet

Special needs vary with each individual pup and I’m open to discussion any that you may need. I am sorry but I’m not comfortable giving injections. We also have mostly hardwood floors so if your pup has knee issues due to slipping my home may not be the best choice. I’m all for walking your bestie, however for your safety and mine I require meeting you first. I will not walk into a new house meeting your pup as a stranger for the first time.

A typical day

I live in a great area for walking and take full advantage of that. Beside heavy downpours I’m out walking. In the summer I’m working in my garden and enjoying the sun on my deck.

Retired Pup Loving Mom

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs of all ages and sizes in my life since childhood. I’ve trained several dogs and am very patient and loving to all. I’m currently retired and can work with just about any schedule. Please contact me directly to arrange a time that works best for your pup. I have a fully fenced back yard and currently no animals of my own. Summer I spend most my time on my deck and in my garden. Your pup is welcome to join me. I have recently became a grandma and occasionally am a babysitter. Your pup must be loving towards toddlers to join us unless it’s a short stay that my babies won’t be joining. Contact me for additional scheduling. Thanks for understanding.

Duri was great with our pup. She shared updates and pictures daily. Having a senior dog can require additional care and Duri did wonderful.

Duri has been a great caregiver for our little Spaniel. Great communication and you can tell she is a truly responsible and kind person.

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.
