Pet care experience

Grandma loves your doggy and kitty

I've always loved dogs, especially older ones. I've taken care of many dogs in my life. I love kitties too but cannot have them in my home so only do drop-in visits for them. My DIL is allergic. I don't get upset with "accidents" because pets have accidents. I will abide by any rules you have about your pet and I will love them almost like you love them..

Toby obviously had a great time. I got pics and updates and he clearly got loads of snuggles. I am so grateful.

Leslie was absolutely fantastic with Tilly! She watched her for four nights and went above and beyond the entire time. We received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while traveling. She even made sure Tilly had special treats and extra attention. Leslie was also incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pickup. We could tell Tilly was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Leslie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Leslie to watch our 10 year old dog! She was so efficient with sending us updates and pictures. Thank you again!

Schedule

I'm retired and am looking to have a dog around, but not all the time, so this is kind of nice. I am home most days. I can take dogs in my car if I have to run somewhere quickly. I have a seat belt that hooks onto their collar, which will keep them from flying around in case someone runs into us.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large, fenced yard and neighbor dogs that can visit. They are all spayed and neutered. I also have a renter who has a big, docile, 13-year-old dog that still loves to play. He stays in the basement unless we bring him up and he goes to work with his mom where she works as a Vet-Tech. I will go to homes to care for a dog/dogs, cat/cats or a bird/birds and spend the entire 30-minute visit talking to them and petting them and taking care of their needs. Sometimes, I hate to leave!

Pets

A typical day

Since I'm an older person I will probably play with your pet in the yard. I have a children's pool that I fill, not too full, in the warmer weather. I can walk a dog that is good on the leash but larger dogs that pull are hard for me to handle even though I am good sized. I am not too far from the Twin Silo dog park so I can take your doggy there too if that is okay with you. They have two sides so smaller dogs or shy dogs or dogs that are fearful of big dogs can run around with other dogs of their size and personality. I will regale your pet with stories of my grandsons and my latest vacation or trip to Target.

I would appreciate knowing that your pet does not dig or bite. I can handle a little barking because I know dogs get excited or worried about the terrorists at the door but if it's persistent then I won't be able to care for your dog again. I have to think of my neighbors.
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.
