Pet care experience

home full-time, large fenced yard

I work at FSU (as a 9-month contract faculty), so I'm totally free (full time at home) during the summer. I love dog and I have owned one small dog 'Sadie' since 2013. She is very friendly, enthusiastic and gets along well with other dogs in our neighborhood. Sadie likes walking, so I take her to a walk twice a day in the mornings and in the evenings. I'd like to extend my love to your dog, especially for those who don't have the privilege to take care of their dogs full time. I have a large fenced yard. There is beautiful grass almost everywhere in my neighborhood. I can follow any directions given, and send updates throughout the day if wanted. If you are curious about the dog sitting time lapse in the past three years, that's because we had a baby daughter in the year of 2000. She is now 3 years old and she is a dog lover as well! The other reason is that our dog Sadie was paralyzed and we had to spend a lot time taking care of her. Fortunately she has been recovering very well and now she can walk normally (sometimes with a sling support on her back) as happy as she is always. We have learned how to take good care of a special needs dog.

As always, John and his wife were overly accommodating and so good to us. Our dogs get along great and it is always a pleasure to book with them on Rover. Thank you!

John and his wife are fantastic sitters and we look forward to using them for many years to come! We are certain that they take better care of our dog than we do. She gets plenty of exercise and attention. Their dog Sadie is sweet and they get along great. Thank you, John!

John, his wife, and their dog Sadie were such an amazing stay for Penny. They clearly loved our dog and they sent us plenty of updates while we were away. Our dog tends to be very anxious, but she warmed up to them almost immediately and was completely at peace during drop off and pickup. I cannot thank them enough and I will absolutely be using them again.
