Safety, trust & environment

In my clients home I follow the schedule or routine that has been set out for me or agreed upon by the pet parent. I keep them company and can offer a longer walk once a day.(not including bathroom breaks if there is no backyard)

Information Octavia G. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog reactive? What are their major triggers? Do they like strangers? Do they have have special needs or instructions? Also are there anything we’re currently trying to work on? Please be sure to list all pets that will be in the household at the time of booking(walks excluded.)

A typical day

Typically any dog I walk can be between 20-40 minutes depending upon the dog and the owners wants. I like to try and teach dogs tricks they don’t know or practice the ones they already know. If your needs only require drop ins(this can also be scheduled as a house sit), I ask they at least 3 drop ins be booked as I don’t feel comfortable with leaving pets without a bathroom break with long periods in between.

Octavia is great with Buddy and the house. She went above and beyond when Buddy had some unexpected medical needs crop up. Very highly recommended!

Octavia was lovely! Super communicative, professional, and my dog loved her immediately. I’ll definitely rebook & would recommend her for anyone that has a large breed or leash-reactive dog!

Octavia was excellent with Harlow. She communicated well with me and sent photos throughout the time she was here. Harlow was in very good hands!

Octavia is amazing! We haven’t had our dog very long, and Octavia was so patient with her little ‘quirks’. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a patient and responsible dog sitter for their fur baby.

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.
