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 was great and very kind. He would send me detailed account of what Reggie did and what he ate. I would happily drop Reggie with Peter again.

As always, Peter was a wonderful sitter for our dog. She is always excited to see him! Peter is communicative, sending daily updates and pictures, and we always know that Pip is getting her daily walks and meds and plenty of love. Peter was also kind enough to bring our garbage bins in while we were gone. We are grateful for Peter’s good care of Pippa and he is always our first choice for a pet sitter!

Peter was excellent! He took such good care of my dog. I got daily updates and I think my dog wanted to stay at the end of the visit!

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.
