Pet care experience

Active and caring dog lover!

*It is Rover and I’s policy that dogs must be leashed for walks* * we must do a meet and greet before booking, no exceptions! This is for both you and your pet to meet me and for all of us to make sure it’s a good fit! Dog lover and owner with full availability. I have a 12 year old Yorkie mix with epilepsy and he is my prince! I have also had a Labrador, Greyhound, and a golden retriever. I am active and can run and walk long distances. I am available for dog sitting, dog walks, check in’s, and socialization. I have experience with cats as well including a sick cat with throat cancer. I have a car that is well used to dog hair and can transport dogs to local parks. Please note there is a review of me that discussed last minute canceling and excuses. The dog owner did not disclose they did not leash their dog and expected me to walk it off leash. I want to be clear I will only walk a dog on leash. E collars only do not suffice. Also I require meet and greets before working with you to get all information before booking to avoid a situation like this. Thanks!

Dog Walking • Apr 11, 2024

Said that she’d show up to walk the dogs multiple times didn’t kept coming up with some type of excuse and why she couldn’t do it. People need to post clearly on their ad what they are capable of dealing with and what they’re not I was all the way at work in Manchester and she told me that she wasn’t gonna make it there that day because she doesn’t feel comfortable at like seven in the morning, I think this app is a big joke and anybody that uses it be cautious to these people
