Information Filomena G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any allergies or special needs. Do they hate the rain but love wearing their raincoats? Do they like to cuddle or need their own space?

A typical day

I love to go for long walks, letting dogs explore and sniff to their heart's desire. Experts say sniffing is very stimulating for dogs, even better than walking (sometimes). Dogs need tons of exercise during the day and also to play different brain games, sniffing out treats (I made my own!) in various types of puzzles and kongs.

Pet care experience

Hello! I've had a deep love of dogs my entire life and was fortunate enough to have had two beautiful dogs over the past 25 years. I love to walk, play and lightly train dogs while they're in my care. I'm also developing healthy dog treats that I share with all the neighbor's dogs for their input (they love them!). I currently volunteer at PAWS NY, which helps humans & dogs, providing walks for the elderly or people that are disabled. I look forward to caring for your dog as my own. They are angels and deserve the best care!

Filomena was wonderful - my dog loved her - she was on time and would take videos while she was walking my dog. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and would definitely book her again - my dog is 12 and this is the first time I ever hired someone to take care of my dog - we loved her and so did my dog 🐕

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.
