Safety, trust & environment

I like to gauge the pets' energy level and go from there. Happy to simply keep them company while sitting, but also very much eager to take your dog out for an adventure! I like to get a lot of steps in so am up for long walks. I live in an apartment and cannot board dogs that are super vocal due to potential noise complaints.

Information Faustine L. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know whether or not your dog is friendly and comfortable with other dogs. This will allow me to figure out the best walking route. Please also inform me of any allergies, whether they can or can not have treats, and if they pull on leash.

A typical day

Take them to the dog park (if that's what they like), or to the closest park. Sometimes I will take them to a pet-friendly cafe :) I live near a ton of green space which is ideal for boarding.

Faustine was wonderful with my 3 month old puppy! She was communicative, flexible and friendly. My puppy stayed with her for four nights and she kept me updated the entire time. My puppy almost didn’t want to leave her - you can tell how much she loves and enjoys dogs! Will definitely use her again.

Faustine was quick to respond with our last minute walk request and was easy to communicate with! She clearly has great experience with dogs and it looked like our lil guy had a great time on his walk. Would highly recommend.

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.
