Information Peter A. would like to know about your pet

To provide the safest and most personalized care, I’d love to know your pet’s unique personality, medical needs, and any specific triggers or "house rules" they follow. Understanding their dietary restrictions and typical walk routines helps me ensure they stay comfortable, secure, and happy while you are away.

A typical day

From energetic play to cozy relaxation, I tailor every day to your pet's personality. We’ll enjoy scenic neighborhood walks, engaging games of fetch, and stimulating puzzle toys. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I provide plenty of gentle belly rubs and dedicated cuddle time, ensuring they stay physically active and emotionally happy.

Sometimes it feels like my cats are just waiting for me to go away on a trip so they can get some time with Pete.

This was my first time using Rover or any dog walking service, let alone have anyone aside from myself, dad, or brother take care of my pup. And I have ZERO regrets. My dad was supposed to stay with my dog for the long weekend I was away, but last minute he couldn’t and I needed a plan B. I came to Rover to see if I could find a solution and I did- Peter! My pup is very lovable but also not easy, and many are too scared or just don’t want to deal with him. Because of that, I wanted to do a meet and greet first, which Peter happily agreed to. After just one visit, I knew that not only could he handle my dog and he would be well-taken care of, but knew they both were about to become buds. I was able to go away and not have any worries, especially since Peter gave very thorough recaps of his visits and pictures. Needless to say, my heart and mind were put at ease and I can’t think him enough for that. I will definitely be utilizing his services in the future and I know Thor will not mind at all.
