Pet care experience

My favorite animal is yes!

I was a puppy raiser for The Seeing-Eye between 2005 and 2016. My family raised 6 puppies starting at 8 weeks old, so I am well-versed in both puppy care and training. As puppy raisers it is our job to socialize our puppies to new environments and teach them basic obedience and manners as they will need to be well-behaved in public for their future blind partner. I also formerly worked at the family dog training school. I've lived with primarily German Shepherds, as well as a pitbull and collie. Though I have met and understand a wide variety of dog breeds. My animal experience doesn't stop at dogs & cats, either! I've personally owned or cared for rats, gerbils, mice, guinea pigs, freshwater fish, snakes, lizards and even horses!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should account for. My preference is for larger breeds that like a relaxing walk.
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.
