Information Michelle M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any specific behavioral issues to watch for or food allergies. For your dogs safety I need to know if they will steal food or swallow toys, socks, etc. 😊

A typical day

A typical day with Jack commences with a visit to the dog park, where we engage in approximately 60-90 minutes of play such as fetching, running, chasing, sniffing, and swimming. After our morning play we head home to eat, rest, dry and recover. In the afternoon, the dogs are provided with a second opportunity for physical activity, either in the form of a walk or outdoor play in the backyard.

Michelle and her family took great care of our Mini Aussie while we were traveling. We appreciated the great communication and how she figured out that Izzy just loves to be with people. We would absolutely love to have her care for Izzy again!

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.
