Information Nella F. would like to know about your pet

I want to know about any health problems, medications, allergies or special needs. I would also like to know about behavioral issues such as dog and cat aggression, digging under or climbing over fences and the dog's schedule.

A typical day

As soon as I get up I take all dogs outside for 30 minutes to an hour. After that I feed dogs and let them have some down time before going outside again. I take dogs outside every 4 hours unless more often is needed. I break up the day with outside and inside play time. There are 3 different fenced outside areas for dogs to explore and run. Dogs can play together or by themselves if the owner prefers. I can provide short individual walks if requested. I feed dogs again at 6:00 pm and make sure all dogs go out before bed.

Nella was a perfect match for our anxious dog. She gave him personal care while sending us frequent updates. We hope to use her services in the future for sure!

She lives in a little farmhouse with some animals, such as a horse, goat, and dogs. First of all, she is a blind lady who is able to take care of plants, her house, and so on. She is nice and independent. My 8-year-old big dog enjoyed staying with her and her two dogs for about 25 days while my husband and I were out of town. Every day she answered messages saying how he was. We wish we had time to let her do doggy daycare for him. We feel better leaving him with her than at other daycare places. Our dog looks healthy, active, and happy after staying at her place. Nella is an example of superation and dedication... ;*)

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.
