Pet care experience

Calm, fun, caring, and responsible

I have been a pet owner since I was very young! I have interacted with many breeds of dogs, small to large, and I appreciate each one’s unique and special qualities! My home is happy, calm, peaceful, and fun. I work full-time from home in the social services field, and I love being active, playing with, and walking dogs! I currently have no pets in my home, but my 5-year-old daughter is also with me here Saturdays-Wednesdays. She is responsible and treats animals with respect. My boyfriend, Andy (also a dog walker on Rover and dog lover!) lives at the house with me, and we have a baby boy.

Nicole and her family are so sweet. I know my dog was well cared for and I didn’t have any worries while away. She sent daily updates and pictures. I would highly recommend her!

Schedule

I work full-time from home, and my flexible schedule allows me ample opportunity to give your dog lots of attention, play time, and walks. I welcome having a dog in my home to care for as I do not currently have one of my own.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is very clean, peaceful, calm, fun, and safe. There is plenty of room for your dog to roam around, and even come up on the couch (with a blanket down). Our yard is fenced in, is a decent size, and my neighborhood is great for walking. I am accustomed to walking large dogs that pull when on the leash, and I am strong enough to handle them safely, as is Andy. I have a lot of time at home to be outside with your dog on a leash walking/playing/going out for potty breaks. I will send you photo updates each day your pup is in my care :).

A typical day

I will love to hang out with your dog and give lots of pets and treats that are permitted by you! I’ll enjoy practicing whatever skills the dog has and using lots of positive praise. Your dog and I will have fun walking outside and they will be physically and mentally stimulated by all the new smells and experiences!

Please let me know about any special physical or dietary needs your dogs has. I’d also love to know about things that help make them comfortable and activities they enjoy. I’d like to know if they are crate- and leash-trained, and how they get along with other animals.
