Caring and punctual pet care

Pet care experience

I enjoy enriching a dog’s day any way possible, whether it’s playing tug, going for a walk, or just keeping them company. If you have an older dog with hip dysplasia or mobility issues I’m very capable of assisting them navigate stairs or carrying them if necessary. If your dogs are like mine, they enjoy a routine and aren’t very pleased when that routine is disrupted. This is why, regardless of the service, I make every effort to maintain punctuality and consistency. I’ve been doing drop-ins for friends and neighbors to check on and care for their pets since childhood, and in the last few years I’ve checked on everything from ill-behaved hunting hounds to docile old lapdogs. Whether they need some exercise, medication, or even just a scratch on the head I’m happy to help. For walks I’ll make sure your dog takes a familiar but varied route each time at a pace they find comfortable. While boarding your dog in my home I’ll make sure to treat them as my own while reinforcing any behaviors you’ve taught them such as staying off furniture or not begging. I don’t have a private yard, but a dog park is located in the immediate vicinity so any dog that really needs to run has ample opportunity to burn off some energy.

Harrison took great care of Maggie, and obviously loved spending time with her. He was also very flexible when I needed to change the drop-off time. We would definitely have him care for our girl again. Very pleased.

Harrison is probably the best Rover I’ve ever had. He took great care of Riley for me and was easy to communicate with.

Harrison B is terrific!! He is always on time, reliable and kind. As an example: I have an older dog and I live on the second floor of an apartment building. Harrison noticed that my dog was not doing well getting up and down the stairs. He took the initiative and took her to his house (that has no stairs) during the day hours so she did not struggle. Then he would bring her back to my house at night so she could sleep in her own bed. What a man!! I can not say enough wonderful things about Harrison!! He even went to the trouble to take her to the dog park almost every day and sent me pictures!! It's clear that when he comes to the house she adores him!! My family thanks ROVER for helping us find the right person to take care of our sweet furry baby~ My Best Brooks Norfolk Va
