Availability

I’m currently working 4 days a week from home. I take Baloo (my dog) on 4 walks a day; 730-815am, 12-1245pm, 530-630pm, and 830-9pm - with lots of love and fun play in between! On weekends we do the 4 walks and sometimes when we’re feeling ambitious we do a 5K run!

Information Erin G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any food sensitivities/allergies or if they have any extra accommodations needed (administering medication). My Baloo has seasonal allergies so I’m quite comfortable administering medication. He is also allergic to chicken.

A typical day

Usually I head to the gym from 530-730am then walk Baloo 730-8am around my neighbourhood and in the forest/trails. At lunch (12-1pm) we head to for another walk and usually I give him a frozen treat afterwards. He head for another walk/play around 530-630pm, sometimes my neighbour joins me. I’m the evening as he’s getting older he doesn’t need a big end of night walk, so I’ll take him around 9pm for 10minutes or so.

I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, rodents and have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 20 years old. I’ve taken a year of veterinary technician and several animal behaviour classes. I have a very well behaved 5 year old Black Lab/Chesapeake Bay retriever mix that gets along well with all. His name is Baloo 🐶

Great experience from the start - loved the updates/pictures while we were on our trip. Opie looked like he was having the best time. Thanks! :)

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.
