Safety, trust & environment

Taz plays and walks well with other dogs but I prefer to get your permission first before attempting to introduce him to your pup. I’m always refreshing the water as to make sure everyone’s hydrated. Let me know ahead of time if you have any house rules you’d like me to enforce so they don’t develop any bad habits while you’re away.

Information John C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you notice any behavioral patterns I should look out for. I’d like to help train if you think your dog needs it.

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.
