Pet care experience

This veteran LOVES dogs!

I have loved animals my entire life, but especially dogs. From small to big I love them all! My family has had a number of pets throughout my life and I have loved all of my animals. I currently have 2 giant breed dogs. I am great with "hard to handle dogs". My wife met me with one of our dogs Ona as her dog already-in fact I was her pet sitter! I was told by my wife that her dog at the time 'doesn't like men'. That dog went from being my wife's pup to mine from the moment I met her. I have yet to find a dog I cannot make friends with. I enjoy cats as well, although I prefer cats that are more dog like in their characteristics. If I feel like the right fit shoot me a message and we can schedule a meet and greet! I specialize in overnight care, but I am accepting clients for drop in visits as well. I live in the Valley, but work in Anchorage, so I accept clients from all over the Wasilla/Anchorage/Girdwood area!

Safety, trust & environment

This was our third time having Lloyd watch our dogs and home, and he continues to exceed expectations. When our flight was canceled, he stayed an extra night, which helped reduce so much stress. We’re so thankful for his reliability and care.

Loyd was great! He responded super quick, our dogs were immediately comfortable with him, we could tell he was confident with dogs in general. He sent pics, communicated with us, and overall, we highly recommend him! Pups even looked for him in his room when we returned, awwww.

Lloyd is great with our dogs and is a great communicator. Our dogs love him and we always know our dogs are well cared for. He’s skilled at taking care of dogs on medications. One of our dogs needed a new medication right before we left for a trip and Lloyd was very willing to accommodate her.

I need to know any particularities your pet may have, anything I need to watch out for (like pups that try to be escape artists), and any other scheduling or medicating needs and protocol your animal might have.
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.
