life long animal lover and owner

Pet care experience

I've taken care of many different dogs for about 20 years- from dachshunds and shih tzus to german Shepard and pit bulls and I love every single one of them. I am also an EMT and medically trained in case of any emergencies

DO NOT have Kat perform services for your pet. She will not provide the services to which she agreed, and she will not communicate changes. I booked Kat from 9/2-9/9. We had met in person for over an hour at a meeting and discussed my dog’s routine and needs. She knew my expectation was she would spend the nights and he would be out of the crate. On 9/3 she left him at 1:15 pm and did not return until 10:32 pm (9 hrs 17 mins). On 9/4, she left at 7:32 pm and did not return until the next morning when she came in at 7:01 am (11 hrs 31 mins). After I saw this, I specifically asked her to let me know if she will be gone more than 8 hours, because I have neighbors who could stop by. She didn’t and she continued to leave him. On Tuesday 9/7 it was 6:23 am until 3:19 pm (8 hrs 56 mins). On Wednesday it was 6:47 am until 4:07 pm (9 hrs 20 mins). She would come back to my house and immediately fall asleep and fail to respond to messages for hours on end. She poorly supervised him when she was home and he ruined my planters. She also took out my outdoor couch cushions from their weather proof container and left them in the rain. They are moldy and ruined. She allowed my dog to chew on a plastic piece and the only way I found out was I saw it in the trash when I returned. My dog was absolutely traumatized by this trip. Multiple neighbors said he cried for hours on end. Rover Support was useless through the process and won’t take any action to prevent Kat from working on their app despite evidence that she compromised the well being of my dog.

I currently live with a roommate who also loves dogs and any animals. We have 1 cat and a small dog who would love to play with others. we have a partially fenced in yard and a great neighborhood to walk around in. I would love to take your dog to activities like the dog parks nearby if that's what you'd like. I do allow dogs on the bed and furniture unless you are training the dog to refrain from doing that- than I can certainly do that
