Availability

I'm never out of the house for long. Maybe 4 hours max, but rarely more than 2. Our old lady used to need a lot of attention, so I'm used to life revolving around a dog upon entry, before leaving, and taking a break every 30 minutes to give some love.

Information Kory T. would like to know about your pet

Do they understand specific commands? Have health issues? Toy preferences? React negatively to anything specific? Do they require much attention or prefer to be left alone? Do they play rough or gentle? Prefer to be outside or inside?

A typical day

Plenty of blocks to walk around and massive park nearby. We have many neighbors who take their pets there to play. Lots of rasslin' if they like it. Lots of chill pets if they don't. Post-walk treats. If they need extra attention I'll relocate their bed into whichever room I'm in (used to do this for our dog).

Pet care experience

Started dog-walking/-sitting in my pre-teens. Owned 3 dogs during this time (two part-Lab and one Great Dane. All rescues). Kept a small, growing business which consisted of walking or being paid to stay a week with a dog. This continued until early 20s. Have since continued to sit family's, friends', and family friends' dogs over the years. No matter the size or breed I always manage to find a friend in new dogs. Epileptic, old, and those requiring medicine are not a problem. Whether or not they adhere to commands isn't a problem. I've had very obedient dogs and known many that ran the house. Either way, we'll get along fine.

Kory is my cat's best friend!! Super reliable, and so nice!! He even brought in the mail and put my trash out for me while I was out of town. Goes above and beyond!

Kory was a wonderful dog sitter for the second time! Both were long stays around 3 weeks and my pup did wonderfully. I got pictures and updates. The communication was consistent. My pup can be picky with other dogs but Kory made sure we had a meet and greet - I was happy my pup made some friends! Would recommend.

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.
