Pet care experience

Sorry, I’M UNavailable 5/16-21 BiG dog, small dog? It’s a GO ! Its behavior tells me a Lot about a dog in the first ten minutes. Body Language & its reaction to me! I’LL know immediately in some cases. I have patience & “Put IN” the TIME to gain acceptance/Trust. I still ask questions at meet & greets. Whether it be meds, special needs etc..l’ll have it covered! Totally Reliable, for sure! Let’s WALK!!

John has been amazing and Nanuk loves him. He takes him out for nice walks and sends pics and updates that warm my heart. He’s so gentle and caring with my little guy.

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.
