I'll love your dog like you do

Pet care experience

Hi there! I absolutely adore fur babies and am open to watching them all. I had two dogs while growing up, a golden-beagle mix & a beagle-spaniel mix. I used to live with a roommate who owned an Akita and took care of him whenever she went out of town. I've sat for a pit mix, senior beagle, bernedoodle, shepherd doodle, Australian shepherds, cane corso/pit mix, golden retriever, lab, and other various muts. If your dog has a lot of energy I'm happy to wear them out, taking them on a long walk or a hike. I'm ok with both cuddlers and non-cuddlers, needy and non-needy. Giving meds is not a problem. One day I will have my own fur baby and spoil them with a nice yard, but until then, I will give all my love to yours! Because of my living situation your dog cannot stay with me unless they are crate trained and/or house trained (I understand accidents happen), and do not bark when left alone. I am happy to come by your place 2-3 times a day to feed and walk. Price may vary on number of dogs and special instructions. Size doesn't matter!

Lena took care of our 11 week old puppy while we were out of town for a few days. Clyde really loved her, and she sent us a few pictures and updates. We knew he was in very good hands! We will definitely be using Lena again for future trips. Thanks, Lena! :-)

Lena is a fantastic doggie aunt and caregiver to my Aussiedoodle! Lena always had a dog with her family for as long as I can remember, so it is a relief as a puppy owner to know that she understands animals and what to do if there is an emergency or if something seems off. My dog LOVES when she visits and she will often house-sit for us on weekends when we are out of town or if we need some help. Lena knows basic caregiving for dogs, and knows the protocol if there is a problem. I ALWAYS trust her with our pup and know he is in great hands with her.

It's been a few years since I've done Rover, but I'm picking it back up! I am in between jobs right now and have a lot of availability through March 24. After that, I will start a new job and my schedule will vary. I try to update my calendar regularly!
