Have Dog? Will Play!

I'm a professor at UNR and have had dogs my entire life, ranging from Shih-Tzus to Boxers to German Shepherds to Golden Retrievers. My spouse and I live in NW Reno with our 11-year-old German Shepherd Jezzy and our 3-year-old Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix Jameson. My spouse and I don't travel much, so I'm available to cover most getaway times, including spring break and summer vacation. I love to walk and don't mind "pullers" - I'm 6'0 and 225, so it's very hard to knock me over! Our house has used Rover sitters for years and we know what's expected!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I'm unable to host or watch pets overnight, but would be happy to visit them in your home during the morning, afternoon, and evening. All dogs are different, so I will defer to your advice about what is best for your pup and accommodate as best I can!

It’s rare to find someone who loves dogs as much as their own. Ed is a fabulous dog owner and dog sitter specializing in larger dogs that need exercise. Yet always down for a chill time or quick training session for small to extra large pups. He’ll take care of your pup as if it was his own.

Edward owns 2 dogs which he loves very much and takes great care of , he is a very responsible and caring person, as well as being well educated and intelligent, and I believe would do a great job, and keeps himself in excellent physical condition, so would be up to any physical challenges long walks might entail
