Information Kathy T. would like to know about your pet

Riggs is super sweet! Walks great on a leash, but will react to squirrels, he is a rescue and has some fears but has never growled or snapped at a person. He does think he is a lap dog!

A typical day

I walk and train my dog daily. Everything has a learning/training opportunity that helps a dog learn, please or receive a reward. He also gets to run in my large backyard, or my large unfinished basement in the cold. We go to Home Depot or out to lunch. A socialized dog is a better dog!

Kathy helped me again when my usual sitter cancelled last minute. Quick response, great communication and updates. Best of all a tired, happy pup at the end of it!

Kathy was great. My usual needed to cancel last minute so was pretty late request to Kathy. She made sure our dogs were comfortable with each other and checked in regularly. Have a very happy but tired pup back home now!

Kathy and Riggs are wonderful sitters! They took great care of my little mini-goldendoodle. Don't let Riggs size fool you, he's a sweetie!

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.
