I have a fenced-in yard around the entire property with many gates installed. Additionally, there are many gates inside the house so the pups are always safe. I also make sure to feed the pets separately during meal times so they do not get into each others food.

Information Jiyeon O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special behaviors. I've watched dogs with bad separation anxiety and difficulty eating, and I understand how it can be hard to leave your dog when they have these issues. I am very accommodating!

A typical day

I love being active and going on plenty of walks, so that will not be an issue at all. I utilize the fenced-in yard as a ball-fetching area to provide exercise and fun times for your pups. I live right near a park where there are always dogs running around and playing. At least once a day, I love to take the dog I am watching to the park to get some fresh air, be social, and explore! Walking to the lakefront and 606 Trail, even in the winter, is another thing I do often with the dogs, and I am more than happy to walk with them the whole way or put them in my dog-stroller. On the flip side, I also enjoy having a chill day watching some Netflix and relaxing with the dogs on the couch.

Retired Mom with Love for Dogs!

Pet care experience

I have been watching dogs for over a decade, and I have now been on Rover for almost 2 years. I have many clients who trust and rely on me to watch their pups for long periods, even up to 3 weeks at a time! I know all the skills of being a full time dog owner with things like bathing, going to the vet, giving medicine, etc. Being an empty nester and stay at home mom, I have more than enough time, attention, and love to give to your pups! I love being active and going on plenty of walks, so that will not be an issue at all. Walking to the lakefront and 606 Trail, even in the winter, is something I do often with the dogs, and I am more than happy to walk with them the whole way or put them in my dog-stroller. I also live right near a park where there are always dogs running around and playing. I love to take the dog I am watching to the park to get some fresh air, be social, and explore! I also have a fenced dog-fetch area in my backyard to provide exercise for the dogs off leash. On the flip side, I also enjoy having a chill day watching some Netflix and relaxing with the dogs on the couch. I promise that your dog could not be in better care!

Jiyeon was great! She was able to watch Thumper at the last minute and sent plenty of updates. My dog seemed to have a great time. He came back tired and happy.
