Pets are family - Dog training too!

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.

I was skeptical of using Rover. But first time out I found Florene. Oh my, she is fantastic. I have piece of mind. Not only is she a kind person,but worked with Sandy while at our home on behavior issues. LOVE this wonderful lady.

Schedule

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.

Safety, trust & environment

I closely monitor all dogs, especially during play. I train the dogs how to play appropriately with each other. I will only crate dogs if it’s for their own safety. The only services I do in a client’s home are training sessions with the client present.

Pets

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
No females in heat
Florene can host up to 1 pet per night
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.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
