A typical day

🐶 With Dogs Training games: Teach them small tricks (shake, spin, sit pretty) with treats. Obstacle course: Use pillows, chairs, or boxes to create a mini agility course.

Pet care experience

I have experience will all kinds of animals and I would approach each client with professionalism. For dogs, my walks are structured around each dog's individual needs combining steady movement, safe leash handling, potty opportunities, and enrichment through sniffing and exploration. This results in a happier and more fulfilled dog than focusing on distance alone.

Jared did everything as expected. He arrived when he was supposed to, did was he was asked to do and send multiple photos of each visit. He was not a hands-off sitter, he sat on the couch and outside on the steps with the dogs, keeping them company and giving them lots of affection. I would use Jared again if I needed a sitter. This was a one time sitting as I had a family wedding out of state, usually a family member cares for my pets when I need to go away. Jared cared for my dogs better than my kids.

I give Jared a 5-Star ***** rating for today’s visit . Hershey bonded with Jared way beyond my expectations. As the saying goes: “A picture tells a thousand words.” And Hershey looked happy. My dog was safe and loved. I will be booking Jared again through Rover! I highly recommend Jared as well. 🐾💕🐾

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.
