If you're new in Rover you can use this promo code (GAILJ42157) to get $20 off! I'm both loving and professional in providing dog care. I have five years of dog sitting experience (not including my own dogs). My experience includes senior and special needs dogs. In addition, I can administer medication. I think it's important to provide pet care that is tailored to a pet's needs as much as possible. It's a positive that I'm a retired nurse so the pets I watch aren't left alone all day. I'm extremely careful with the dogs in my care because I hear all too often how accidents happen when a door or gate is left open and a four legged family member runs off. When I say I'll love your dog as much as my own I mean it but I also never lose sight as to how important safety and security are. I'm retired and my days aren't interrupted by a full or part-time job. When I do leave the house, pets are not left alone more than four hours. My is home situated in the middle of a neighborhood so proximity to a busy street isn't an issue. I eliminate access to the front door by a doggie gate in place before access to the entryway. I have a fenced in backyard. As added security, if someone such as lawn maintenance or pest control companies have been in the yard, I always double check they have closed the gate. Dogs are never left unattended in my yard as another layer to ensuring your dog has a safe environment.
