Information Meredith H. would like to know about your pet

I need information ahead of time regarding any health problems a pet may have so I can keep an eye out for any signs of problems. Other things include any medications they may take, how often they take the medications, if they have any special dietary needs, if they have any allergies, any particular stress reactions, and any behavioral issues. It would be prudent to also know how well socialized the pet is or if they have any adverse reactions to strangers. I have experience with very shy dogs and it has not been an issue.

A typical day

I like to play with dogs in a variety of ways! Walks, play dates, toys, and games are my favorite activities. I especially like to take my dogs on car rides around George Wyth park.

Pet care experience

*I do not consent to being recorded on any cameras inside of homes* Kennel and vet assistanr staff for 7 years. Currently a dog daycare attendant. Duties include caring for puppies, senior, sick, or disabled dogs as well as administering medications and preparing special diets. Cats are included. Currently taking online classes for dog training and animal behavior. Interned at a zoo and has experience with wild/exotic animals. I will go over any special needs or requirements with the client upon first meeting along with a quick introduction to the animal(s). If required I can bring my own leash for walks. Most often I spend time getting to know the animal first and then engage in whatever they like most, be it cuddling, playing, or going for a walk.

This was our first time using Meredith's services. She met with us twice and we were comfortable with her and her relationship with our dogs. When we were gone she kept us informed and sent photos of the dogs. Everything was taken care of in our home and the dogs were in good hands. Very responsible and couldn't recommend her more!

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.
