Looking for Dogs to Love!

Pet care experience

I've always been an animal lover. Since the age of 6, I've had every pet you can imagine! From snakes, lizards and rats to bunnies, cats and dogs. Last year, I lost my best friend of 7 years, Mocha (Mastiff mix), and my childhood dog of 13 years, Marley (Chocolate lab), so have been craving the company of dogs again and would love to spoil yours! I love large breed dogs and have experience with Danes/Mastiffs. We recently had a hospice care great dane and now have a 4 year old dane, Paisley, who absolutely loves all other dogs! We have a son who was born in November, so dogs must be okay with children.

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.
