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.

Everything was smooth and communication was good. My dog was very happy, and it was a fun place for him to stay with the other animals and dogs. Would recommend

Nella was amazing! She took wonderful care of my dogs, Gracie and Togo. I received daily updates that gave me total peace of mind. Gracie and Togo came home happy, tired, and well-fed. We will definitely book with her again!

Such a sweet lady! She kept me updated on how he was doing. My Rufus was so happy during and after pickup so I know he was well loved over there. Will definitely be using Nella in the future- we are so so thankful for 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.
