Safety, trust & environment

I will ensure the pet is safe by checking fences/gates are closed prior to letting the dog out and keeping a very close eye on the dog during this time at the clients home. I also understand the importance of not letting 2 dogs who are on a leash, cross paths, as this is a cause for a dog fight. Some dogs require to be kenneled when not under supervision, and I will ensure that this happens any time I am not at the clients home. I will make sure that the clients home is locked prior to leaving the residence. If there are multiple pets eating at one time, I will ensure each pet has their own space to eat in private.

Information Kara D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog requires any medication (including dosage), along with the dogs vet (incase of emergency). Also, I will need to know if the dog will need to be kenneled when left alone.

A typical day

Every day I will ensure that your dog will get their daily exercise in whether it’s a couple mile long walk or a jog. I understand the importance of stimulating the dog mentally and physically and I will do this by playing fetch outside (in a fenced in area whether it’s at the owners house or in a private fenced in area ), or if the weather is bad, playing inside by playing the "find it" game with food. My apartment has a large basement that is great for getting dogs energy out when the weather is bad.

Pets

Life-long pet lover and owner

Pet care experience

I have a strong passion for dogs because of their unconditional love for humans, and the joy they bring me. Growing up, I trained my families dogs, and others dogs in 4-H. I am a life-long pet owner, and consider them to be my best friend.

Thank you so much Kara! Kara was very generous with her time, walking our Labrador retriever at every visit, playing and refilling her food and water. We are confident that she was well taken care of.

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.
