Pet care experience

Dogs and cats love me I love them

My customers always say the dogs and cats take a liking to me and adjust well to me. Dogs also love when I take them for long walks in parks or just playing in the yard. Dogs also love when I brush them or when I pet them. Dogs know when to let me know they have to go out they always sit by me if i'm watching TV or eating. Dogs will also sit by me if i'm sleeping they like to come in to see if i'm OK or to cuddle. Your dogs and cats will feel relaxed when they lay by me, always looking to be petted and I help them feel safe when their owners are away. With me your dogs and cats get the respect and love they deserve and they look forward to me coming every time. During my 20 years caring for dogs and cats I have gained a lot of experience caring for different types of dogs and cats and their individual personalities. Many owners have commented on how after a visit from me the dogs and cats are more relaxed than with other sitters and call me first when they need my services in the future. When I’m lease training your dog I have a few suggestions on collars with owner’s approval

Marty continues to be our default pet sitter. The pets love him and he is very diligent about sending updates and pictures while we are away.

Martin has watched our dogs several times now. He is very responsive and even came early to check in on the dogs when I had told him we had left for our trip already. He sends daily updates and pictures which provides comfort knowing the dogs are having a great time with him. I would highly recommend his services and look forward to him watching our dogs again.

Barrett seemed to really like Marty. It is so nice to have someone that is willing and able, to come to someone's home, just so your fur baby can stay in the comfort of their own home. Glad we found Marty, glad he was here to hang out with Barrett. We will definitely have Marty at our home again.

Marty did a great job with our two St. Bernards! I received pictures and updates daily. I received several pictures of my dogs cuddled on the couch with him, so I know they got plenty of love and attention! My girls can both be stubborn about their pills, but Marty made sure they took them and always let me know. Our house was also clean when we returned, so I know he respected our home which is very much appreciated! We will use Marty next time we go out of town! 🐶🐾🦴

Marty did a fantastic job caring for my pets. He communicated regularly and often. He went above and beyond in making sure mail/packages were brought in and put out the trash for us. All of my pets loved him and were more than happy to have him here.

I like to know the dogs personality (friendly, relaxed or otherwise). I also need to know if the dog has any existing conditions that I need to be aware of. If the dog requires pills I would like to know how it is usually administered to maintain consistency. I would also like to know what areas of the house if any are off limits for the dog for consistency. Are they lease trained
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.
