I'd like to know as much as possible about your pets' routine, in order to be able to replicate it as closely as possible in your absence. What times and what do you feed your pet(s), when and where do you take them for play and exercise (if applicable), how long have your pets been with you, what is the energy level of your pet(s), how do you normally communicate with them (e.g., do you talk to your pets a lot, are they accustomed to hand signals, etc.), how do you show affection and/or approval to your pet(s)? Are there places or things in your home that are absolutely 'off base' for your pet(s)? A word about rates: Rover doesn't allow for much customization, which leads to a 'one size fits all' rate posted for each service. These rates do not include the additional fees I charge for pets who need medical treatments, e.g., oral medication, injections, etc. These fees vary depending on (a) the type of treatment (b) the frequency of treatment and (c) the receptivity of your pet to the treatment. If you have a pet with medical needs, please just let me know up front and I will be happy to provide a customized quote for you.

Many pets get anxious when their owners are away and strangers come to care for them. I would prefer to meet your pet(s) at least once prior to stepping into your shoes while you're away, and am happy to care for your furbaby the same way you do, as much as possible. Whether that means going for long, slow walks, or quick zips around the block and back, going for hikes in the hills or to breathe in the ocean air, playing a great game of fetch in your home or yard, or just enjoying lots of snuggle time to soothe and relax your buddy as best I can - please just let me know how I can help!
