Information Jeff U. would like to know about your pet

Any medical conditions/recent injuries, walk tendencies, eating habits, personality and social behaviors, favorite toys. The more information the better just so that I am properly prepared.

A typical day

Definitely some walks, lots of pets and brushes, and possibly some sprinting throughout the apartment. As stated, I work from home on weekdays and so pups are usually curled up at my side for a good part of the day.

Pet care experience

Hi, my name’s Jeff and I can sit or board your dog if that’s what you’re needing. It can be frightening to leave your dog with a total stranger so I can only say that I understand and will try my best to calm these fears. I grew up owning dogs and have cared for a great many breeds throughout my life. My dog rules are pretty lax when boarding. I’ll adhere to any rules and desires of the owner, of course, but otherwise I just like to let the pups do their thing. The apartment isn’t huge but has a small courtyard in the back for exploring. I still own some toys and brushes from previous pets for use. Give me a shout with any other questions!

Jeff was awesome. He took great care of my pup. I’ll definitely be using him again soon.

Margo stayed with Jeff again and all was great! Jeff was flexible with pick up too as my flight was a bit delayed. Thank you!

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.
