Information Nancy N. would like to know about your pet

In order to provide the best care, I would like to know as much as possible about your dog, ie: any fears and/or anxieties, reactivity to other dogs or to people, special needs with regard to water, food, and/or medications, special likes such as playing fetch, your policy on treats, etc.

A typical day

With young and high-energy dogs, I play fetch or chase, as this can provide heavier exercise than walking. If your dog likes dog parks, we can go to a nearby dog park, as this also provides more exercise than a walk.

Lifelong Dog/Horse Owner

Pet care experience

I have trained and cared for my own dogs, both small and large breeds, all of my life. As a volunteer at animal shelters here in the Bay Area and in Austin, I have learned to manage and adapt to varied—and sometimes difficult—dog personalities, temperaments, and needs. I am also very comfortable with large animals, having owned and trained my own horses for decades. As a retired journalist and journalism professor, I bring trustworthiness, reliability, and excellent communication to animal care. I can provide walks, engaging playtime, comfort for anxious animals, and administration of simple medications. Please note: While I am an expert animal caretaker, I am new to the Rover platform. I am currently offering introductory rates for a limited time while I build my local profile.I

Nancy was fantastic! Super responsive and easy to discuss care for our two dogs while we were away. Felt so much relief knowing our dogs were in her care. Book her!

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.
