Availability

I do remote contract work so my availability is very flexible and open. I shared my routine with my own canine companion from age 13 to 26 - pet care is the centerpiece that a routine forms around in my experience. Accommodating you and your pet's needs is my number one priority!

Information Harry S. would like to know about your pet

The more I know about your pet the better! Please tell me anything and everything you'd like to share, whether it's how you get them to take their medicine or if they have a favorite toy or game.

A typical day

My dog was a German shepherd/pitbull mix. He was a high energy working dog with anxiety from being a rescue puppy. So I'm used to taking dogs on several long walks and doing what I can to keep them mentally stimulated in between. My current dog is even more high strung! And he's kept my standards just as high if not higher.

Pet care experience

I took care of my dog Loki from just a few months old till he passed at age 13. To honor the bond we shared and everything he taught me, I've worked to become the best dog care provider I can be - I have trained and cared for dogs for 10 years and I've worked with Rover for 2 years. I've performed check-ins, long walks, medicine administration, reactivity training, daycare and boarding services for friends, family, and new clients. I've worked with a lot of multi-pet households as well as with dogs with behavioral or medical needs. Young or old, hyper or mellow, social or shy, big or small, I always walk away with a new friend. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!

We’re so happy with the care my dog received! Harry was great - communicative and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Pup was healthy, happy comfortable, and got some good walks in :) thanks again

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.
