Pet care experience

Dog runner/walker. Walled back yard

I'm experienced and comfortable with big/rowdy/high energy even aggressive dogs, shelter/rescue dogs, puppies, cats, ferrets, and others. Every dog that stays with me or that I go take care of gets plenty of play and exercise. Any medications or medical needs will also be handled. Our home has plenty of rooms and space to run around inside. We have a cleared out two-car garage equipped with toys and a couple of dog-owned couches and a pet door that leads to a big walled back yard where they can run and play. There are also many trails and walking paths in the area. I have a 10 pound Jackhuahua named Comet that keeps to himself but sometimes loves to run and play with the other dogs at times.

I always feel reassured when Ian is taking care of my dogs. I know they are in good hands.

As always, everyone’s nervous trying a new sitter out. He really went above and beyond and was hyper communicative. He stayed longer than he needed, and I really appreciated that.

I would like to know what their temperament is like. Are they timid? Aggressive? Trauma in the past? How do they get along with other dogs? How do they react to cats? The more I know the better! I have no breed preferences.
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.
