Pet care experience

So Your Pet Never Feels Alone

Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of dog breeds. I understand that each dog has its own unique needs and personality, and I'm dedicated to providing individualized care to ensure their happiness and well-being. I have experience in various aspects of dog care, including feeding, walking and providing companionship. Whether your pup requires regular exercise or a cozy environment to relax in, I will tailor my services to meet their specific requirements. Rest assured that your dog will be in responsible and loving hands during their stay with me. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they are comfortable, entertained, and loved throughout their time with me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 large breed dogs with a 6 foot fenced in yard that we love to play fetch in. I also take them on walks with a harness, so would be comfortable doing the same with your pet

Erik is the best and we’re so grateful to have him! He takes care of our dog so well and we know she’s alway in great hands when we’re away. Can’t thank him enough!

Schedule

Pet care is my full-time focus, so my schedule is very flexible. I plan my days around client visits, allowing me to be reliable, punctual, and attentive during walks and drop-ins. With my wife working from home, I also have added flexibility to accommodate last-minute requests or schedule changes.

Its important to know if a pet is good with other animals. Does your dog need special help with something or does he/she needs medication.
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.
