Pet care experience

*Fully Vaccinated!...flexible schedule...info about overnight stays at bottom of bio.(: * Hey there! My name is Toby. (: I have experience watching dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and small mammals like bunnies. I love my job and I love animals even more. I have been working with Rover for 4 years now and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. When I meet you and the fur kids, my time will be spent down on the floor letting them get to know me while I ask you questions and answer any of yours. It is important to me to learn your pets schedule, behaviours, and what they love doing for fun! Before Rover, I worked part time at a dog grooming salon as a bather for about 4 years. My favorite part about the job was meeting so many variety of dogs and making them feel welcome at the salon. This job allowed me to work with dogs of all ages including puppies and senior dogs. I have also handled dogs with physical problems. Examples include arthritis, tumors, blindness and deafness. I understand how important and special your animals are to you. They are family after all. Your fur kids will receive the same kind of attention and love that would be given to my pets and plenty of belly scratches! Things included with overnight stays: -leashed walks for going potty(exercise walks cost extra) -collecting your mail, watering plants, and taking out the trash. -coming back to check on them if you get delayed in making it back home for any reason. *price of stays will vary depending on what is required of me.*

Toby stayed with our dogs in our house. She sent us daily updates and photos. Our dogs were spoiled and loved. We have booked Toby for upcoming trips!!

Couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Toby took great care of the animals and the house while we were gone. She was very accommodating, excellent with communication and really made us feel comfortable while we were away. We could relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about the house and the animals. So sad she’s leaving the area. We would definitely use her again if we could!

Toby was fantastic! Took great care of our house and pets while we were away. Looked like the animals had a great time in their own environment and we didn’t have to worry about the house while we were gone. Sad she’s moving away from our area!

Toby is great. When I got back home to my baby, I could tell he was well taken care of and happy. Highly recommend booking drop in visits with Toby!

Safety, trust & environment

Overnight stays allow your dog to stay in an environment that they already know and love. Their schedule becomes my schedule too. You can expect plenty of pictures as well and however many updates you feel is necessary.

Information Rachael (Toby) S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Are they taking any medications? How are they around other dogs? Do they have any problems with children or other people? On a less serious side, tell me about their favorite toys and activities! I'll ask you all of these questions during our meet and greet. (:

A typical day

I will offer them playtime with their favorite toys, plenty of snuggles on the couch or in the bed, belly rubs and all the attention they want, and feed them some of their treats. Excercise walks are also offered for an extra fee.
