I currently work from home, Monday through Friday, which means that I am available throughout the day to care for, and give attention to, the dogs in our home. Katie is a stay at home mom so there is almost always someone in the home spending time with the dogs.

Information Ian R. would like to know about your pet

Any special commands or training you’d like me to address or rules to follow while the dog is my care. Any medications or special requests. Any conditions that we may need to know about that the dog has so we can keep an eye on it.

A typical day

We like to go on walks from time to time, but really enjoy the local dog park. At the park the dogs get a change to meet other dogs and people. They love to roam around and sniff at the park. When it is hot outside, we typically go in the evenings when it has cooled down a bit.

Pet care experience

I have had dogs in my life for over 30 years. I’ve been the proud parent of dogs for the last 15 years. I enjoy walking my dogs, taking them to the park, and spoiling them a bit. I make sure they are taken care of, fed, nails done, and that they have fun.

This was our first time using Rover. We used him for a daycare day at his home. Ian came to our house for a meet and greet, then we brought Sadie there for a 15 minute meet and greet and then the next day she stayed with him for the day. Seemed like it went well. I was very impressed with Ian’s explanation of the process and his experience in the field. We will try him again, perhaps for an overnight or multi day.

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.
