Information Fiona R. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate to know if your dog happens to be aggressive towards other animals. My own Rottweiler was dog aggressive so I know how to hold onto a leash tight, and I always carry around an air horn and pepper spray (for worst case scenario) incase a dog where to wonder off of their property, and come up to an aggressive dog I am walking. This is to protect both dogs safety.

A typical day

Unlimited amounts of love and affection Unlimited amounts of walks where ever the owner requests! If the dog is trained, then unlimited trips to the dog park!

Pet care experience

With extensive experience taking care of dogs for the past 2+ decades (both my own, and volunteer/job-wise) and an unmatched love for each and every pooch, your dog can’t be in better hands. I have raised dogs my whole life. I recently lost my sweet Rottweiler Selva, so I am excited to now offer dog boarding in my home to fill the furry hole I have in my heart. I have spent many years working as a dog groomer and in doggy day care, and was also the chairman of grants for a successful dog rescue, Peace4Paws, where I devoted countless hours to raising funds for the medical care of dogs we brought in, many of which have been abused or neglected. I love each and every dog, especially the larger ones. In regards to animals in general - up until recently I have lived at my families animal sanctuary, where we rescued goats, chickens, pigs, cows, etc. My girl Selva had many medical issues, I would be honored to be the one you trust with your senior dog that needs medicine, including injections! Giant dogs have my heart :)

I can't say enough good things about Fiona! Wallace had a fantastic time, and Fiona was an A+++ communicator with me, Wallace's slightly neurotic human. I received great updates, knew he was in excellent hands, and felt completely at ease while I was away. The next time I can't bring Wallace with me, he'll be staying with Fiona. I truly can't recommend her highly enough.

The kind of experience you hope for on Rover--smooth, seamless, and worry-free care for my beloved pup, who has a few quirks. We got stuck abroad an extra day and it was no problem, nor was late pick up the next day. Thanks for everything!

Peri has the best time with Fiona, he absolutely adores her. Fiona fed him by hand when he wouldn’t eat (I forgot HIS bowls) lol. I get lots of pics and he’s always happy. He loves his visits. And so do I! It’s a wonderful feeling not to worry about your baby when you’re gone. Fiona is the best!

Fiona is amazing. My goldendoodle was immediately at ease, ran right to Fiona, tail wagging! My husband and I were comforted knowing he would have a great experience, and he did! I received wonderful pics and updates. We will be using Fiona for all future trips!!!
