Safety, trust & environment

For dog sitting at my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced backyard and front yard, offering plenty of space for your dog to run around and play. I ensure a clean, pet-friendly environment indoors as well, with plenty of attention and cuddles. As for dog walking, I understand how crucial this activity is to a dog’s well-being. Walks are more than just exercise; they’re an opportunity for your pet to explore, socialize, and release energy. I make sure each walk is a joyful and enriching experience, tailored to your pet’s pace and preferences. As a pet owner myself, I will treat your fur babies with the same care and love I extend to my own.

Joe always treats my pup with such love and care. There is no one I’d rather trust to take care of my girl while I am away.

Joe is an excellent sitter. I can tell just how much my dog Daisy and him love each other. Joe provides regular updates and photos that make it easier to be away from Daisy. I’m so grateful to be able to leave Daisy with someone so caring and attentive. I would recommend Joe to anyone.

Joe was great with my dog Daisy, and I will definitely hire him again! His love and care for animals is very clear, and Daisy loves him as well. It is so nice to feel safe leaving my pup in someone else’s care and to know I will come home to a happy dog. He was also very communicative.

Before taking care of a dog, I find it important to know about their: 1. Breed and age: To understand their specific needs and energy levels. 2. Health issues: Any allergies, dietary restrictions, or chronic conditions. 3. Behavior traits: How they interact with people and other dogs, and any behavioral issues. 4. Exercise and diet routine: Preferred walk times, feeding schedules, and portion sizes. 5. Training commands: To communicate effectively with the dog. 6. Emergency contact: Vet's contact information and any special instructions in case of emergency. Knowing these details helps me provide the best possible care and ensures the dog's well-being during our time together.
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.
