I am currently transforming my services to focus more on training sessions in my client’s home. My main focus is working with young pups and to start training from day one, although I welcome the opportunity to train dogs of all ages. My goals are to offer support to dog owners on how to properly train desired behaviors in their dogs.

Information Florene M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what kinds of activities your dog enjoys doing? What level of training has your dog had, if any? I enjoy training dogs and would love to work with your dog based on his/her level. I use positive training techniques to make learning new things fun. I love when my dogs learn how to learn. I enjoy working with all breeds. Training is my major focus and I will design the training sessions based on your dog’s needs.

A typical day

I can walk your dog around the parks within walking distance of your home. I will do positive basic training with dogs in my care. (Sit, down, stay, loose leash walking, etc.) My philosophy is that a trained dog is a happy dog. My drop-in visits are for training purposes only. I train the dog with the clients present in their own home.

Pets are family - Dog training too!

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I have trained almost all my dogs since they were puppies. I have trained my own service dog. I have a passion for training dogs. I am currently retired, so I have plenty of time to play with and train your pup. I can take them for daily walks around the park as well. I have a fenced yard and a nearby park to take your dog for a walk. I have my own friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a cat, but if your dog does not like cats, I can isolate may cat from your dog. My big dog seems to have a way of knowing how to make dogs feel comfortable in our home. He knows when to interact with them and when to just leave them alone. I am retired so I have lots of time to spend with your dog. I try to schedule my activities around when I have dogs, so I can devote all my time to caring for the dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I always supervise dogs when they are outside. I try to set up play dates with a neighbor who also works for Rover. My husband and family members are usually around to play with and take dogs on walks.

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.
