Information Kate L. would like to know about your pet

I just need to know if he/she has ever bitten anyone or anything, if he/she has ever been attacked by another dog, and if he/she is a jumper or puller. None of this matters, but I like to know.

A typical day

We will go for leisurely strolls, or animated sprints, whatever your dog prefers! I also play a mean game of fetch if we have access to a fenced area!

Pet care experience

I have 20+ years caring for animals of all types. I formerly owned and operated Your Pets' Home Away From Home, a premier dog boarding facility. I ran and managed the Atlantic Island Kennel at Lajes Air Force Base overseas. I am comfortable handling dogs and cats of all sizes and manners. I have experience administering oral and injections, and the care of diabetic animals. I have experience in caring for all ages, sizes and breeds of dogs, cats, and for farm sits, I'm knowledgeable in the care of poultry, goats, sheep, rabbits, cows, and horses. Please message me for a custom rate for your farm sit. I'm very flexible, I love animals of all kinds and encourage you to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for letting me do what I love and make a living at it! ?❤️ Please note, if you live further away than 15 miles from my home, I will still happily accept your request, but we may discuss a higher rate per visit to cover my gas and time to get to you! Thank you for understanding!

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.
