Information Lois O. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know if you dog has any food or toy aggression as well as any fears of objects (vacuum cleaner, etc…..). I would also appreciate knowing any special feed or medications required.

A typical day

I have a great little quiet neighborhood where neighbors love dogs so I always make sure to get my clients out for a walk through the neighborhood. There is also a dog park in Canton that we can visit if you give the okay for that.

Dedicated and flexible dog lover

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs in multiple ways throughout my life and I have been a dog parent for about 24 of those years. I have been a Petsmart associate and am very familiar with dog care and dog concerns. I have always felt comfortable and in control around any dog I meet and I feel they can sense who is going to be loving, caring, and trustworthy. I have cared for dogs in their own home, doing anything that dog requires for their regular routine. I am a firm believer in dog walks and doggy playtime. I am very willing to work with you and your dog to ensure they get the care they need while you are away. I have taken a leave from offering Rover services while I moved and lived in an apartment but I’m so happy to say I now have a home again and am ready to welcome your pet into my home for all the care and love they need. The yard is fenced and there are plenty of sidewalks for morning or evening walks.

Lois was wonderful! She took on our two beagles and walked them all over the neighborhood . She sent pictures religiously and some videos. House was probably cleaner than we left her when we got home. If we could give her more stars, we would. I think 10 would be appropriate.

Lois was awesome. She was very response to my txt, showed up on time and was eager to stay as long as we needed when our boat ran out of gas!! All worked out great and we’ll definitely request Lous again when we need assistance with Calli!

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.
