Pet care experience

Love pets & getting lots of steps!

Animals have always been important to me, I've grown up and cared for lots of breeds and ages of dogs starting from when I was 5 years old! My family has had tons of different breeds, ranging Chihuahuas to German Shepards, and I've cared for them all throughout their lives, from puppies to their old age. I have a soft spot for senior dogs but I am comfortable with most four legged friends. I also have experience taking care of farm animals (chickens, sheep, goats, etc) so I'm happy to help with any other creatures that need attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I know pets are important members of the family so I will follow any and all instructions that you leave me. If the pet needs to go outside for a 30 min walk then we'll do that, or if it is to stay within a fenced in area and just be watched we can do that too. I'll try and make it as normal and consistent for the pet as possible!

Marcus was so good with my 120 pound Leonberger! He was also available at the last minute which was very kind. Highly recommend him!

Marcus is the biggest dog lover out there, and dogs really love him, too! I’ve never seen my doggo warm up to someone as quickly as she did Marcus. I have complete confidence in his ability to handle her reactive tendencies whenever he takes her on walks, and he would always send me great pictures of them playing whenever I was away. Thanks for taking such great care of Rhyley, Marcus!

The most important information would be the dogs temperament and special considerations. Knowing how the dog gets along with others (strangers / other animals), if the dog prefers long walks or short walks, how often it needs to go out.
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.
