my doggie friends get my total attn

Pet care experience

dogs in my care get a lot of attention. if they like to fetch...we play fetch... we walk and I allow them to sniff about(on leash of course) I don't know if it's a skill but dogs seem to like my personality. I'm available a good bit because I'm semi-retired. I'm focused when I have a dog in my care and I'm responsible. one time an owner was out of town and their dog had an episode with an illness she had been dealing with. I was available to take the dog to the animal hospital and return her to her home the next day. I have a van so a pet can be strapped in or ride in a portable kennel if need be.

Paul was great to my dog and was very flexible with meeting, dropping off, and picking up. He also tired my dog out which is exactly what I wanted. Will definitely be using again!

This is by far our worst experience with a Rover sitter. We had to drop off our pet at 8 am on Friday morning and the gentleman did not answer his door, phone calls, messages. It's a good 25mins drive from our home and I waited almost an hour at his door, without any use. I had to drive back to our house, drop our pet off and then drive to work. We were going on a flight that afternoon and all this caused so much of inconvenience. He called us after a while apologizing that he was asleep and his phone was on silent mode. We coordinated another timing to dropoff our pet around lunch. The place was very untidy and smelly. We did drop our pet there as we were running late for our flight and we did not have any other options but regretted that later. We were so worried about him all along and couldnt wait to pick him back up. By the time we went to pick him up, we were shocked to see him locked up in some old car in the backyard, with windows rolled up and no way for any sort of ventilation. God knows how long he was kept there. This is absolutely unacceptable. Our pet is almost 9 years and weighs 7 pounds. He is an old soul and very easy to manage. We still do not understand what was the reason to lock him up in some wrecked car. By the time we got him in our car, he was panting heavily and was so thirsty. I regret leaving our dog with such an irresponsible person. I wonder how he has the other good reviews, which led me to believe he will be a good care taker. May be he wasnt cought red handed abusing other dogs. I would give him a negative rating if I could.

Although we thought the stay went fine originally we come home to realize our dog has fleas! And unfortunately didn’t realize it until night time after we have had our dog on our furniture and now have to treat our entire house. I know he allowed her to sleep in his bed so I am not sure where exactly during her stay with him she got them but we came back from a trip to a huge headache and hassle of a dog with fleas!!!

Information Paul R. would like to know about your pet

Breed does not matter as long as the dog is friendly with people. if the dog doesn't do well around other dogs, I will keep the dog away from other animals. same applies w/ dogs who are not comfortable around humans. if that sounds contrary, I have the capability to keep the dog from humans too.

A typical day

I live in a nice neighborhood for walking. I live near McAlpine Creek doggie park if that's allowed by the dog owner... if the dog likes to fetch, we can do that... we can visit other dogs one on one for socialization if allowed by the owner.
