Pet care experience

OLDER/SENIOR/CALM DOGS ONLY

I want to offer quality , loving care for seniors and I want to keep my rates low because seniors tend to sleep a lot and it's hard to justify paying $50 daily to board a sleeping dog. I love older dogs and have lots of experience with them. I tend to only rescue seniors now because they just want to snuggle. My husband and I are both retired and have experience with administering meds. I currently have 2 senior dogs (one large and one small) who are very dog friendly however they do bark. And they don't want any dogs trying to play with them So if your dog gets anxious with barking or wants to play with them, especially during meet and greet, it may not be a good fit.

Pam is the best with our senior dog. Our dog Kennedy is mostly husky and can be quite stubborn at times. Pam is patient and kind to her. Pam is our go-to sitter because we know that any time we travel, Kennedy will have a great time and will come back happy and still on her routines!

Many thanks to Pam for taking good care of my Bailey while we had an international trip! I appreciated the daily pictures and updates and the time that Pam took to give her cuddles and attention. I was able to enjoy my vacation more knowing that Bailey was in good hands while we were away.

Pam is the only sitter I trust with my senior dog! She is the best sitter who understands senior dogs’ unique needs.

This was Bailey’s first stay with Pam. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout her stay so that I knew things were going well. Pam treated her like one of her own and Bailey seemed to adapt well during her stay. Thank you!

She did an amazing job with our very timid dog, who decided to go on a food strike while we were gone! Definitely would use Pamela again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and 2 older dogs. I tend to baby my dogs and will baby yours too. I can give meds when needed. I would require a meet and greet prior to booking.

Pets

A typical day

Since I am looking to care for older dogs only, a typical day would be napping, feeding, potty breaks, and in nice weather hanging out outside. I can also take dogs on leash walks if they enjoy that.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Pamela can host up to 3 pets per night
My preference is for calm older dogs - no puppy energy for me. And I would need to know what special needs for your dog as well as a meet and greet before committing to a booking.
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.
