First off, i want to say that please give me several hours to respond to your requests.. due to the nature of living in the mountains and me sometimes having to drive, it often takes me a while to respond. There are times where the messages do not forward to my personal phone number until I’m back home on my personal Wi-Fi. I usually try to respond to all request within a few hours. I have over 25 years experience with all kinds of pets. We’ve been on Rover since the beginning of the app. I mean ALL KINDS! I have had iguanas to tarantulas and everything in between. We have no pets in the home and I usually only take one pet off of Rover at a time ...unless they are together. I have an 15 year old, animal lover daughter who loves to play and walk our Rover dogs with me..So, it like two professional dogs sitters for the price of one. We miss having a dog in our life and want to pamper yours. She also likes to take naps with them on the couch Our house is controlled by the pets. I work from home, in education, and am available for very flexible hours starting after my first morning meeting (8a.m). I can sometimes do earlier drop off times by request. Even when the weather is nasty, (like it often is in the mountains) we are in and out all day...I have many satisfied clients and many locals we work with year round. We have a fully fenced in yard and house but I never allow dogs in the yard without me accompanying them. I can try to do meet and greets for reservations requiring their pets to be here several nights or more. I can no longer fit in meet and greets for doggie daycare. It gets too hectic during season and I often have other pets we are watching during those times. It cuts into the time that others have paid for me to be with their pets. If you message me, it may take me a little while to get it from the app as a text and respond. My work schedule during the day (as well as the lousy phone service we have been having during season), delays things an hour or two at times. The messages get sent to my phone as a text from the app but it is not always instant. I respond back as soon as i can! Usually last minute request work fine with me as I am always home. I am always willing to negotiate price for reservations that are longer term for for multiple pets.
