Information Peter S. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know your pet’s general disposition especially in new settings and with new people. If they have any specific behaviors or areas of concern.

A typical day

I like to take dogs for a walk to nearby park to get our exercise and outdoor fun in. I enjoy playing with pets who crave interaction. I am also very happy to give a pet space and downtime to destress and relax especially in new environments.

Peter took great care of Piku. Couldn’t expect more. Peter sent us daily updates with some photos. Piku’s photo framed was a pleasant surprise for us. We will definitely go back to Peter in future.

Peter is so trustworthy & communicative & intuitive. He takes such great care of Pip, dispensing meds and soothing her and taking her on walks. We feel very lucky when she is in his care!

Peter did a great job with Penny, and his ability to pick up and drop off was a major timesaver for me. She came home completely wiped out which is always a good sign!

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.
