Information Hayley D. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for! I’ve worked with many types of dogs and behaviors!

A typical day

I love to take my dog for walks and snuggle! He’s 7 so he doesn’t require too much but he loves a long walk and to play! He does not currently live with me, he lives with my parents. He visits plenty but I prefer to keep him at my parents when I am hosting another dog!

Pet care experience

The beautiful pup on my profile does not currently live with me, he lives with my parents in the suburbs! He likes to have space to roam. He visits regularly but I keep him at my parents house when I am hosting other pups!! I have been obsessed with animals ever since I was a baby! I have had 2 amazing dogs and 2 amazing cats in the past 29 years and have cared for countless pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their fur babies! I have taken care of dogs ever since I can remember!

Hayley was terrific! This was the first time I used her since both of my regulars were out of town. She was super sweet, very responsive and communicative, and took great care of Lexi. I’d happily use her again and recommend her without hesitation.

Haley took great care of Lychee! She made lychee feel very comfortable and was proactive in communicating updates during her stay. We’re looking forward to having Haley watch Lychee again in the future.

Hayley was such a wonderful care taker for my dog. I had to find alternative last minute plans for a trip which demanded I be gone for a week. All my regular sitters were busy and I had never used rover before. Hayley was a delight to communicate with before, during, and after my dog’s stay. She sent a ton of pictures and updates and I felt so comfortable having my dog stay with her. My dog took to her so quickly which isn’t always the case. I definitely recommend using her for your pet care needs!
