Safety, trust & environment

I basically treat all of my client's pets as my own, pay close attention to their behavior and see whether or not they need to go for a walk, want food or just attention. These are children after all and should be treated as such.

Information Mandel B. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs the same, big, small and medium though I have a massive bias towards german shepherds, doberman pinchers, Siberian husky, Alaskan Malamute, Boxer terrier, american staffordshire terrier/bull terrier(pitbull), cane corso, Akita inu. I am going to fall in love with them! 😅 Though before I start interacting with your dog(s) make a written, if not mental list on things that I should and shouldn't do with you family member. I am very, very detail orientated: - Age: Helps me mentally prepare myself on how much playtime or walk time you dog(s) will need, regardless of its size. - Name: It makes it easier to call and address them by it. - Personality: Helps me know how to treat them. Quiet = gentle touches. Hyper = a lot of running around or long walks. - Temperament: Helps to always be on guard an quickly respond if your dog(s) begin acting up. - How Long Have You Owned Him/Her/Them?: Small talk purposes, allows me to know you as a dog owner. - Cleaning Detergents: So that I can quickly clean up any mess that your dog(s) may have done. - Toys: If you got a large, energetic dog, but a equally large backyard then there is no need for them (I'll run around with them, but I will still use them if there's around), but for smaller dogs it will be useful. -Medications -Eating habits: These are children and I cannot be convinced otherwise, lol.

A typical day

Depending on the size of your dog, and with your permission I may: - Brush their coat (provided that you have a brush that I could use, if not then I can bring my own.) - Play with them (if you have a big yard and a big dog then I will run around with them) - Long walks or short walks /frequent potty breaks (shorter walks for smaller dogs/dogs with a medical issue - Treats (if provided by you the owner. Not applicable to dogs with medical issues)

Your Pets = My Family

Pet care experience

Being brought up in a neighborhood full of dogs I have a natural love for them. I would spend most of the time playing or petting them whenever I got the chance. Such love for them pushed me into going out of my way to talking to my neighbors, just so that I could play with their furry family member. Which then later on got me into being a dog sitter and walker for my neighbors. It goes as far to say that I treat dogs like I would treat a family member with love, care, respect and tons of affection. But unlike us humans who verbally show our appreciation, I am mainly looking forward to your furry family member's appreciation. A ton of doggy kisses! I work full-time as a pet care provider and am pretty flexible when it comes to scheduling. For repeat clients I a set schedule and anything outside of that is molded around said schedule I am well aware that pets are considered family, please if you need me to send you extra pictures just to make sure your furry family member is in safe hands let know!

Mandel was very communicative, timely, and took excellent care of our pups while we were gone. I will definitely be utilizing his services again in the future!

Mandel is the best! My older pup had an accident before her scheduled walk. A big one too. Without me asking, he cleaned it up. Which is not even remotely expected of him. So thank you, Mandel, for going that extra mile! I appreciate you beyond words!

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.
