I have my own senior pup who I take care of. Daily walks and treats are a necessity! Pet care is incredibly dog-specific and what works for one might not work for the other. I think being flexible and listening to your dogs needs is a constant need.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for dogs by following instruction not only from owner but pup, being open to their needs and regulating their emotions throughout our visit.

Information Mars H. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know about any allergies, disabilities or special needs your pet may have first. Secondly, I'd like to know if they have any particular fears or dislikes and whether they have stayed with a sitter before or at a strangers house. Anything that can help me to get to know your pup is helpful!

A typical day

There is a park near my house where I will gladly take them and let them roam under my supervision. I always have treats on me so I can challenge and train your pets and keep them happy. At request, I will take them on daily walks to keep them well-exercised and send pictures as well.

Glad to be your pets second home!

Pet care experience

I can assure you I will adapt to your pets' needs, even if extravagant to keep them happy, to assure they always feel secure and at home. I have dog shelter experience, dog sitting experience and experience with my own puppies as I have successfully raised and trained three. I am mostly always at home. If your dog is special needs, needs medication, or is a senior, I am always willing to learn how to take care of them. Otherwise, if you have any requests or so, ask away. I will not shy away or slack on the little things, especially if your pet really needs something. I am always right here if you happen to have any questions about my services.

Mars stayed at our house with two pups, one of which is a little leash aggressive. I loved getting all the photos and updates each day! We came home to two happy puppies, and that's all that matters!

Mars did a great job communicating with us throughout the weekend. Our dog will be excited to hang again soon.

This was a last minute booking and Mars was able to accommodate us! Mars was great and always kept me updated on my fur babies. I will definitely book with Mars again!

Mars was very attentive with our dog, and did a great job keeping her on schedule, walked, and engaged. We also got lots of updates and very timely replies. Will definetely hire again to watch our dog.

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.
