Pet care experience

experienced, flexible dog sitter

I have been doing Rover since 2020- I have always been a dog person and a house without a dog doesn't feel the same. I have trained my dog on my own to be off leash, commands annd tricks. Marley listens very well and is titled as our family's best dog. I often watch my family, friends and neighbors dogs while away as well as drop ins/walks. I currently working from home, full-time and my job is very flexible so i’m able to work with you and your schedule needs. I have plenty of time to play, walk and give attention to your pet. Our dog Marley would also love the company. I do have a large and medium crate so I can easily crate your dog if needed so you don’t have to bring yours. We have a large unfenced back yard, also a long leash in the back yard for sun bathing, playtime and a large area to go for walks! Personally, my dog will not use the bathroom in the backyard on the leash, only while on a walk so walks are very important in our caretaking! If you send a request it makes our availability for that time not available for other owners needing care, so please let me know if plans change or you no longer need the booking. Thanks!! 😊

Nicole and her son were fantastic! They watched our dogs for an overnight stay and kept us updated with cute photos and check-ins throughout the visit. It was so nice to see them having a great time while we were away. We will definitely use them again!
