Safety, trust & environment

For the dog, there is a half acre fenced yard. I have the necessary tools and experience to handle all types of guests and situations. I prefer a free roam environment for my guests. I pay close attention to ensure that the guests are only housed with other guests that are compatible. I have set up a room for cats. You can view photo gallery for more details. I have the space available to house other guests such as rodents or birds. I am also available for drop in visits for a variety of pets.

Information Kara W. would like to know about your pet

Experience has taught me that pets act differently when their pack/family is not around. They will test boundaries. I would like to know any special needs; medication, low exertion, dietary restrictions, and triggers (some animals dislike someone touching their head or back as an example).

A typical day

It depends on the pet. I will walk, hike, play fetch or another toy game. I like to engage them in different activities from their normal routine. I still adhere to the routine; I just like to mix it up. Usually, first thing is a potty break. Then, breakfast and a long walk. Then, it varies: playing, story time, meeting other guests, group hikes...

Pet care experience

I have experienced or owned all types of pets. Dogs and cats for the most part but also rodents, rabbits, reptiles, and birds. I have been responsible for elderly, sick, young, pregnant, blind, deaf, and epileptic dogs and cats. I have aided in weaning pups off mama dogs and guided them to adulthood. I am currently enrolled in basic life support classes for cats and dogs. I am familiar with medical needs and routine schedules for medications and exercise. I am also experienced with rodents, rabbits, and birds of all breeds.

Kara and William were excellent. They went above and beyond caring for Kaspar while he was sick. When I brought the wrong medicine, William noticed the error and let me know so that I could bring it back in time. Both Kara and William are very attentive to the dogs. Kaspar was happy in the photos they sent. Kaspar said he was looking forward to coming back to hang out with Lykos and his friends.

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.
