Pet care experience

Your dog is our family!

Hello! I’ve been watching dogs since September 2024. I also grew up with dogs and our family had our precious little Libby until we had to let her go over the rainbow bridge in July 2024. My ex and I had a Rover business (Corinne and John here on rover - 5 star ranking) together and I loved it so much I want to continue helping folks with quality and loving pet care and getting to know everyone’s doggos. It’s something I truly love doing and I know how hard it is to trust someone with your pet! Our dog had special needs - diabetes so twice daily shots- so I’m sensitive and open to that and we’ve watched dogs with special needs in our business. The safety and happiness of your pets and your comfort is my priority. I really love having an animal in the house, and so does my son, and we love going for lots of walks and spending QT cuddling on the couch and playing with them. I hope you’ll consider and trust me with your furry family! I’m highly experienced, really responsive, and looking forward to meeting you and your dogs!

John was very tentative to our dog . We loved his positive energy . We can tell he's a true animal lover . He was so easy going and flexible when we had to change our drop off off time last minute . Love how him and his son made our dog feel loved :) Photos were adorable of her he sent ! Thanks so much :)

Schedule

I work from home four days a week but it’s flexible when I have to be in the city (typically Tuesdays) . We’re typically up early and take the dogs out for morning walks as well as several walks through the day and before bed time. The pets have free run of the house and I treat them as I would my own!

Safety, trust & environment

We allow the dogs free run on the house. They hang out with us on the couch and I’m happy to have them sleep in bed with me. But of course we follow whatever rules the owner has. I do not have a fenced in yard but we are very cautious with them on walks - i tend to err on the side of safety and don’t let them engage closely with other pets in the neighborhood. It’s a sacred trust to be gifted with your pets and so I take it incredibly seriously.

A typical day

We go for many walks, at least morning, midday, and one before bed. There is a nature trail right near the house and a dog run (if the dog is ok with that and the owner). We play and cuddle with the dogs constantly. We have a dog park a few blocks away as well if that’s something you are comfortable with and if the dog would enjoy it we love to go there when the opportunity arises.

If they get along with children. How high energy they are. If they get along with other pets. And basic info about the dogs personalities and needs. We prefer to do meet and greets in advance of our first dog sitting.
