Medications, allergies, special accomodations, and temperament around children and other pets will help me to plan a positive experience for your dog's visit. Energy levels will inform me on the at home activities to ensure proper exercise requirements are met.

A typical day

We have a yard large enough for fetch. Other games include hide and seek and tug of war. For dogs of a more mellow disposition, treat puzzles will be offered. (High energy dogs will also have this option.)

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.
